CBS was one of the first network TV channels to announce its 2020 TV return dates. It was also another network to offer a shakeup to the schedule, allowing for new shows to debut and make space for the midseason schedule.

NCIS: New Orleans fans got one of the biggest shocks. For the first time since its inclusion in the schedule, the show will no longer air on Tuesdays. As of February, it’s moving to Sunday nights after NCIS: LA. And it’s not returning right away, either.

Instead, FBI‘s spin-off, FBI: Most Wanted, is taking the third Tuesday night slot. However, the night will continue to kick off with NCIS.

Another big bench is SEAL Team, which is being held until March. Criminal Minds will start it’s 10-episode run to wrap up the entire series, airing in its original timeslot. SWAT will keep its timeslot, but it will return a week later than many other shows for Criminal Minds‘ two-hour premiere.

Magnum PI is also being benched in February to make way for MacGyver Season 4 to premiere. That also means a shakeup to the times.

It is worth noting that the dates from CBS only included the premiere dates for shows in the midseason. The network hasn’t been completely upfront with return dates for current shows, but we can hazard a guess that they’ll be in the first week or two of January. Take a look at the plans:

Tuesday, Jan. 7

10-11 p.m.: FBI: Most Wanted

Wednesday, Jan. 7

8-9 p.m.: Undercover Boss

9-11 p.m.: Criminal Minds

Wednesday, Jan. 15

10-11 p.m.: SWAT
