CBS midseason schedule (2023): premiere dates and returning shows
By Sabrina Reed
2022 is coming to a close which means we’ll be saying goodbye to some of our favorite shows on TV as they take their winter breaks. Thankfully, we know many of them will be returning for additional episodes in 2023 as much of television still consists of 18-22 episode season shows.
The CBS midseason schedule, which kicks of Monday, Jan. 9, will reunite NCIS fans with all three of the franchise’s series crossing over for a three hour event you won’t want to miss. Viewers can anticipate a personal, high-stakes case that pulls the flagship crew, Hawai’i’s team, and the Los Angeles unit together in an investigation involving a hit man.
In the crossover event, members of each team have gathered together in D.C. to honor a beloved and respected Federal Law Enforcement Training Center professor who taught several members on the squads. However, the night before the celebration, the professor is found dead.
It’s believed to be a suicide, but his former students suspect something else is going on. They’re provided right when they dig into the professor’s past and uncover a mysterious hitman. But, the more they dig, the more their own lives are put on the line. When some of their members are kidnapped, the remaining agents must work together to save them and take down the assassin.
Another heart racing program coming to CBS in 2023 is True Lies, though this one is bringing the laughs as well. The action comedy follows Harvey Tasker, a seemingly ordinary man who’s actually an international spy for Omega Sector, a U.S. Intelligence Agency. When his wife, Helen, discovers his real profession, the agency recruits her.
The language professor impresses the highers up with her skills which includes how formidable she is in the field thanks to Tae Bo and yoga. Together, the married couple are shaking things up not only at work but also in their romantic life.
Helen had been bored with her daily routine and, her and Harvey’s relationship had been coasting before she found out the truth, now there’s a spice to their marriage that they’re both enjoying. But, as exciting as all of this is for them, the pair will have to keep their double lives a secret from their teenagers. Their jobs are to save the world, but they’re also parents doing their best to raise good kids.
What else is coming to CBS in the midseason? Well, there’s a new iteration of the game show, Lingo, hosted by RuPaul Charles, the season 4 premiere of Tough as Nails, Survivor season 44, and more! Here’s the full list.
