CBS has revealed premiere dates for 10 scripted shows, including five dramas and five comedies. Young Sheldon has its season four premiere and Mom starts season eight Nov. 5. Also on that date is new Chuck Lorre comedy B Positive. Thomas Middleditch and Annaleigh Ashford star in the show, inspired by creator Marco Pennette’s experience as a transplant recipient. 

Show production has been staggered for all networks due to COVID issues.

Comedies The Neighborhood starts season three and Bob Hearts Abishola begins season two Nov. 16, as does legal drama All Rise, also unfurling season two.
