TL;DR

CBS is shortening episode counts for Fire Country (13-episode Season 5) as well as NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Sydney for the 2026–27 slate, with Matlock Season 3 returning midseason; Ghosts remains on a full-season order. The network is also planning new series (Cupertino, NCIS: New York, Eternally Yours) and shuffling primetime, including a notable showrunner departure from Fire Country.
