The major broadcast TV networks — ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC — have been steadily revealing their upcoming slates for the fall 2025-2026 season in television, and there will be a lot of returning favorites and even a few new originals. Now that the full lineup is fully in view, take a look at everything to know about broadcast TV this fall.
ABC
The network renewed the vast majority of its original series for the fall season — with one major exception. While fans of perennial drama favorites like 9-1-1, Grey’s Anatomy, The Rookie, and Will Trent will return for additional seasons, the network pulled the plug on its freshman medical dramedy Doctor Odyssey. In its place on the fall schedule? 9-1-1: Nashville, a spinoff featuring Chris O’Donnell in the lead.

CBS
CBS is adding a plethora of new spinoffs to round out its fall 2025 schedule, including Boston Blue, a spinoff of Blue Bloods, CIA, an offshoot of FBI, and Sheriff Country, a spinoff of Fire Country. The show is also introducing workplace comedy DMV and a new music competition series called The Road. The network will see the return of several of its already-existing shows, but there were some major cancellations, too; among the axed shows that won’t return for the fall are The Equalizer, FBI: International, FBI: Most Wanted, Poppa’s House, The Summit, and S.W.A.T. (though the latter will get a new spinoff).

Fox
Animation Domination will continue to be a defining factor of Fox’s fall slate, as the network has given multi-season renewals to its biggest adult animated comedies, American Dad (which returns to the network after moving to TBS), Bob’s Burgers, Family Guy, and The Simpsons. As for the scripted side of things, both Doc and Murder in a Small Town will be back.

NBC
One Chicago fans can expect their favorite first responder shows to continue without interruption this fall, as the Dick Wolf shows are coming back for more new seasons. However, there are still quite a few favorites that got the axe after last season and several new series coming in to fill the gap.
