‘Entertainment Tonight’ hosts Nischelle Turner and Kevin Frazier CBS Media Ventures Logo text CBS Media Ventures has lined up its syndication slate for the 2026-27 season, which includes the renewal of several long-running shows.
The network’s syndication arm has picked up new seasons of Entertainment Tonight and Inside Edition — both of which have been around since the 1980s — and veteran courtroom show Hot Bench. Game shows Flip Side and The Perfect Line will also return in 2026-27. The renewed series join The Drew Barrymore Show, which CBS Media Ventures also distributes and which scored a two-season pickup earlier this month.

The renewals shore up a syndication business that has seen a few high-profile cancellations recently. Daytime talkers The Kelly Clarkson Show, Sherri, Karamo and The Steve Wilkos Show and long-running newsmagazine Access Hollywood are all ending after this season — the latter three after NBCUniversal decided to shut down production of first-run syndicated shows.
Along with the returning series, CBS Media Ventures will add a court show called Adam’s Law to its slate for next season. The show stars Adam Levy, a former district attorney in Putnam County, New York, and the son of Judge Judy Sheindlin (who’s an executive producer of the series).
CBS Media Ventures is also taking on syndicated distribution of America’s Funniest Home Videos and the video-clip show American Mayhem. The company will continue distributing game show stalwarts Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune in the U.S. through the 2027-28 season as part of a legal settlement with producer Sony Pictures TV; after that, Sony will take on distribution as well as production.
