CBS officially kicks off its 2024-2025 season in October.

The network has announced the fall 2024 premiere dates, and CBS premiere week begins on Monday, October 14, with the return of NCIS for its 22nd season and the two-hour debut of the prequel NCIS: Origins. Ahead of that will be “Sneak Peeks” of new drama Matlock, starring Kathy Bates, on Sunday, September 22, at 8/7c, and new action-adventure reality competition series The Summit on Sunday, September 29, at 9/8c (after an NFL on CBS doubleheader, which usually delays programming, and 60 Minutes).

The last episodes of Blue Bloods—its 14th and final season was split into two parts, with the first airing this past spring—begin airing on Friday, October 18, at 10/9c. Other notable dates include Survivor kicking off its 47th season with a two-hour premiere on Wednesday, September 18, at 8/7c, and Tracker‘s return on Sunday, October 27, at 8:30/7:30c (due to an NFL doubleheader).
