CBS has confirmed premiere dates for three new scripted shows: Ransom, Training Day, and Doubt. The network released their 2016-2017 winter and spring program schedule which includes the new series as well as new seasons of Survivor, The Amazing Race, and Undercover Boss. Not included on the just-released schedule are the premiere dates for Superior Donuts or Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders which will be announced at a later date.
The one-hour crime drama Ransom stars Luke Roberts, Sarah Greene, Brandon Jay McLaren, and Nazneen Contractor and follows a “world-renowned crisis and hostage negotiator whose team is brought in to resolve the most difficult kidnap and ransom cases.” The series was created by David Vainola and Frank Spotnitz.
The television adaptation of Training Day comes from executive producers Jerry Bruckheimer, Kristianne Reed, Antoine Fuqua, Will Beall, Barry Schindel, Jonathan Littman, and Danny Cannon. The series is set 15 years after the events of the movie and stars Justin Cornwell as an idealistic police officer who partners up with a “morally ambiguous veteran detective” played by Bill Paxton. The cast also includes Katrina Law, Drew Van Acker, Lex Scott Davis, Julie Benz, Christina Vidal and Marianne Jean-Baptiste.
Doubt is a one-hour drama featuring Katherine Heigl as a brilliant attorney. Dulé Hill, Steven Pasquale, Elliott Gould, Dreama Walker, Laverne Cox and Kobi Libii co-star in the series created by Tony Phelan and Joan Rater.
