CBS Announces Summer Primetime Schedule

Jennifer Finnigan won three Daytime Emmy Awards for her portrayal
of Bridget Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful. Next she'll star
as Grace Darrow in Salvation.
CBS has announced its summer schedule, including the new event series Salvation, the new live-action game show Candy Crush, the third season of Zoo, based on James Patterson’s #1 bestselling novel, and the return of the summer sensation Big Brother.

Big Brother, hosted by Julie Chen, will once again have three weekly episodes. The hit reality series debuts with a special two-hour premiere on Wednesday, June 28 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET/PT), followed by the Thursday broadcast on June 29 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET/PT), Sunday’s installment on July 2 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET/PT), and its regular Wednesday time period on July 5 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET/PT). Last summer, all three editions ranked among the summer’s top 10 broadcasts in adults 18-49, adults 18-34 and adults 25-54.

Zoo, last summer’s #2 scripted series, returns for its third season on Thursday, June 29 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT). In season three, the year is 2027 and the world has reached a tipping point: as the human population continues to dwindle due to the sterility problem, an equally devastating threat rises in the form of “the hybrids,” an army of unstoppable lab-made creatures, hell-bent on destroying Mankind.

New CBS drama Zoo, based on the #1 bestselling novel by James Patterson, premieres tonight at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Zoo is a global thriller about a wave of violent animal attacks against humans sweeping the planet. Jackson Oz is a young renegade American zoologist who spends his days running safaris in the wilds of Africa with his best friend Abraham, who has a deep understanding of wildlife. Shortly after the attacks begin, Oz begins to see a link between the strange animal attacks and his late father’s controversial theories about impending threats to the human race. In Los Angeles, news reporter Jamie Campbell is intent on being the first to break the story behind the mysterious animal behavior, and seeks the expertise of Mitch Morgan, an off-kilter veterinarian, who prefers the company of animals over people. Nora Arnezeder stars as Chloe Tousignant, a French investigator Oz meets in Africa. As the assaults occurring worldwide become more cunning, coordinated and ferocious, Oz and the others are thrust into the race to unlock the mystery of the pandemic before there’s no place left for people to hide.
