CBS shows pending renewal decisions

The network has not officially declared renewals of two of its leading shows, 60 Minutes and The Equalizer.

60 Minutes is facing internal issues. Executive Producer Bill Owens left, alleging a loss of editorial control due to legal challenges, such as being sued by former President Donald Trump for $20 billion for a 2024 interview of then-Vice President Kamala Harris.

Paramount Global, CBS's parent company, is also complicating matters by seeking a merger for Skydance Media, subject to approval from the FCC.

The Equalizer, starring Queen Latifah, is on the renewal bubble. The network is reportedly considering a 13-episode sixth and last season, although no official announcement has been made. Plans for a spinoff series for Titus Welliver and Juani Feliz have been put on hold.
