CBS has cut the episode count for several TV shows ahead of the fall 2026 season. The network confirmed that Ghosts, Matlock and NCIS: Sydney received a shakeup by having their premieres moved to 2027 for midseason. They will join the new show Einstein, which is finally premiering in 2027 as well. Matlock's timeslot will be given to Elsbeth to allow Cupertino to premiere on the same night. NCIS: Sydney, meanwhile, is moving to midseason as NCIS: Origins - which received a shorter episode order - takes over to pair off with NCIS: New York.
