CBS is changing its fall 2026-27 TV schedule for a special Cupertino presentation, giving viewers a chance to watch the new legal drama and catch up with its early episodes. The network’s mix of returning shows, including Tracker, FBI, and Marshals, and new series has helped shape its season lineup, with more programming still to come.

Among CBS’s newer series, Cupertino is a legal drama that has been compared with Suits. The show brings contemporary issues into the established legal-drama format, and its special Sunday schedule gives it exposure in a popular programming block.

Cupertino centers on legal cases involving today’s rapidly changing technology landscape. A new episode airs Sunday, November 8, at 8 p.m. in place of Marshals, followed by a marathon of earlier episodes.

How does Cupertino’s special schedule change CBS’s Sunday lineup?

Cupertino takes the 8 p.m. Sunday slot on November 8, replacing the usual Marshals broadcast and interrupting CBS’s regular Marshals-and-Tracker pairing. The schedule then continues with two repeat episodes from earlier in the season.

On November 8, CBS airs a new episode of Cupertino at 8 p.m., followed by two repeats.

• 8 p.m.: A new episode of Cupertino.
• After the new episode: Two repeat episodes, including the series premiere and its second episode.

The schedule offers viewers an introduction to Cupertino while temporarily changing the Sunday lineup built around Marshals, the Yellowstone spinoff following Kayce Dutton, and Tracker, in which Colter Shaw searches for missing people. The special presentation also gives the series room to reach viewers who may not have seen it yet.

Why has Cupertino found an audience?

Cupertino has established itself by grounding technology-focused cases in its characters and the conventions of the legal drama. The series was created by Robert King and Michelle King, who also created The Good Wife and its spinoff, The Good Fight.

Cupertino combines contemporary legal cases with character-led storytelling.

• Modern cases: The cases draw on issues connected to rapidly changing technology.
• Central characters: Michael Price and his new partner, Olivia Siffre, provide the show’s character-focused foundation.
• Experienced creators: Robert and Michelle King previously created The Good Wife and The Good Fight.

Mike Colter plays Michael Price, and Rachel Keller plays Olivia Siffre. Their partnership anchors cases described as modern, engaging, and unpredictable, while the show’s legal-drama framework connects its technology-related subject matter to its characters.

Cupertino’s combination of timely technology issues and familiar legal-drama storytelling gives the series a distinct focus within the CBS lineup. The Sunday presentation lets viewers sample that approach through a new episode and two earlier installments.
