‘Yellowstone’ Broadcast Premiere Leads CBS Fall Schedule Changes Amid Strikes

CBS has changed its 2023 fall schedule in light of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Paramount Network’s hit drama from Taylor Sheridan, “Yellowstone,” will now be making its broadcast TV debut on Sundays starting from Season 1.

Based on this new schedule, CBS will have original programming every night of the week as well as 185 hours of original content cumulatively, not including sports. Specific dates for programming as well as additional series will be announced at a later date.

“Yellowstone” won’t be the only Paramount series coming to the broadcast network. The Paramount+ streaming shows “Seal Team” and “FBI True” will also be coming to CBS as well as one more currently unannounced original.
