\n\tCBS<\/a> has unveiled its 2025-2026 midseason lineup which features the series premieres of FBI offshoot CIA<\/a>, Taylor Sheridan\u2019s Yellowstone sequel Y: Marshals<\/a>, Harlan Coben\u2019s Final Twist and America\u2019s Culinary Cup, the returns of Watson<\/a>, Tracker<\/a>, The Neighborhood, DMV, the NCIS franchise and more.<\/p>\n

\n\tCIA, initially scheduled for a fall premiere, was moved to midseason amid a showrunner change with Warren Leight being brought in to succeed FBI: Most Wanted\u2018s David Hudgins, who originally was tapped to lead the series. CIA originally was scheduled to take Watson\u2018s spot in the fall, with Watson shifting to midseason. CIA underwent more behind-the-scenes drama earlier this month when Leight exited the series, along with one of the leads Michael Michele, forcing a recasting, and director\/executive producer Eriq LaSalle. CIA is now set to premiere on Monday, Feb. 23 at 10 p.m., following mothership FBI at 9 p.m.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, Watson, originally set to air on Mondays in the fall, is moving back to its original night, premiering its second season Sunday, March 1 at 10 p.m. It follows Tracker, which shifts to a new 9 p.m. timeslot. The series premiere of Y: Marshals kicks off the night at 8 p.m.<\/p>\n
