CBS Winter Premiere Dates: When The Equalizer, NCIS, Celebrity Big Brother, and More Return

The fact that 2022 is just around the corner might be shocking for many of us, but that doesn't make it any less true. While the confounding passage of time can be a real bummer, the new year does bring at least one piece of good news: mid-season premiere dates. For CBS, the first weeks of January will bring new episodes of a lot of fan-favorites as they return after their winter hiatuses. The Equalizer, all of the remaining NCIS shows, Bob (Hearts) Abishola, and more will return at the top of the new year. 

The first Wednesday in January (Jan. 5) will bring a new season of The Amazing Race, as well as Sophia Bush's new medical procedural, Good Sam. The third season of Celebrity Big Brother essentially takes over the CBS schedule starting in February before Survivor returns on March 9. 

It's going to be a packed winter for CBS. Check out the full winter premiere schedule below.
