CBS Fall Schedule Shocker: NCIS Exits Tuesdays After 18 Years Amid Dramatic, Multi-Night Overhaul At Eye Network

CBS is the latest broadcast network (following NBC, Fox and ABC) to unveil its game plan for the 2021-22 TV season, and after years of relative schedule stability the Eye network is making some seismic moves — beginning with evicting NCIS from its longtime Tuesday perch.

♦ After 18 years as CBS' Tuesday lead-off, NCIS this fall is relocating to Mondays-at-9 pm, where it will lead into new spinoff NCIS: Hawai'i. The move allows CBS to rebrand Tuesdays as an all-FBI night (giving #OneChicago and Law & Order titan Dick Wolf three nights of primetime next season).

♦ As a result of the network's Monday shake-up, Bull is relocating to Thursdays-at-10 pm.

Paramount+-bound SEAL Team will air its first four Season 5 episodes on Sundays-at-10 pm before jumping to CBS' sibling streaming outlet. Meanwhile, former Wednesday occupant S.W.A.T. will then take over that Sunday slot following a brief run on Fridays-at-8 pm. (MacGyver's old Friday perch will eventually be filled with a TBD unscripted series.)

♦ The CSI revival will close out CBS' reality dominated Wednesdays at 10 pm.

♦ The long-delayed second season of Blood & Treasure has been delayed some more — until 2022.
