CBS has finalized its 2026-27 lineup of returning scripted series, canceling the two shows on the bubble, sophomore drama "Watson" and freshman comedy "DMV".

Their season — now series — finales will air May 3 and May 11.



Single-camera workplace comedy "DMV" got off to a solid start, ranking No.9 among all broadcast series for CBS’ Oct. 12-19 premiere week with 10.1M Live+35 Day multi-platform viewers.

That is above its lead-in, "The Neighborhood", and half of the series the network has renewed for next season. While its Live+Same Day linear ratings have remained relatively steady, its delayed multi-platform viewing has declined.
