CBS Orders 2 New Shows, Cancels Poppa’s House & More

CBS has formally ended the run of the sitcom “Poppa’s House” and the reality competition show “The Summit” following a single season. Both programs premiered on air in 2024.

Even though The Summit concluded its 10-episode run in December, the final episode of Poppa’s House is still set to air next Monday, April 28. This sitcom stars Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr., with the senior Wayans also acting as its creator and executive producer. The show revolves around a famous radio host and his adult son who balances pursuing his dreams while being a dedicated father and husband. In contrast, The Summit, a reality program, has Manu Bennett as the host, and Kevin Lee, Michael Heyerman, Sharon Levy, and Tina Nicotera serving as executive producers. This series followed sixteen individuals on a 14-day journey through treacherous New Zealand Alps to reach a distant mountain peak.

What are the new shows coming to CBS?

Apart from announcing the show’s cancellation, CBS has additionally commissioned two new series – the office-based drama titled “DMV” and the police investigative drama called “Einstein”. The upcoming comedy will be headlined by Harriett Dyer, Tim Meadows, Molly Kearney, and Alex Tarrant. In the crime genre, we find “Einstein”, starring Matthew Gray Gubler (previously of Criminal Minds) and Rosa Salazar (from Alita: Battle Angel).

The sitcom “DMV” unfolds at everyone’s least favorite destination: the Department of Motor Vehicles. The show features eccentric and endearing characters who, despite earning minimum wage and dealing with customers already irritated upon arrival, find solace in their camaraderie.

In the television series titled “The Einstein Legacy,” we find Albert Einstein’s great-grandson, a man of exceptional intellect yet lacking focus, who enjoys a comfortable academic life as a university professor. However, his rebellious nature leads to legal complications, and he is unexpectedly drafted into assisting a shrewd local detective in solving her most perplexing mysteries.
