Webmaster Errol Posted March 2, 2022 Webmaster Share Posted March 2, 2022 Just weeks before “The Bold and the Beautiful” celebrates its 35th anniversary on Wednesday, March 23, CBS announced this morning that it has renewed the venerable daytime drama series for an additional two seasons, bringing it through its 37th season and remaining on the CBS schedule through the 2023-2024 broadcast season. “For 35 years, ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ has been a cornerstone of our #1 daytime lineup,” said Margot Wain, senior vice president, daytime programs, CBS Entertainment. “Congratulations to our talented cast and crew, as well as Bradley Bell, who have made this show a creative and ratings success, and thank you to ‘B&B’s’ dedicated fans, whose passion for these characters and stories is unrivaled.” “[Thirty-Five] years ago, I would have never imagined what was in store,” said Bell, executive producer and head writer of “The Bold and the Beautiful,” in a statement. “Since our premiere in 1987, it’s been a fantastic journey and incredible experience for all of us. We would not be here if not for the invaluable support of CBS and our millions of fans around the globe for their loyalty and support.” In honor of the show’s anniversary, the soap will air a special standalone episode on Thursday, March 24 (originally scheduled to air on March 23 but was pushed back due to last week’s last-minute repeat) dedicated to Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and five of her true loves. Fan favorites and former cast members Jack Wagner, who played Nick Marone from 2003 to 2012, and Winsor Harmon, who played Thorne Forrester from 1996 to 2016, return for this can’t-miss episode. John McCook (Eric Forrester), Don Diamont (Bill Spencer) and Thorsten Kaye (Ridge Forrester) are also featured. Since its premiere on the CBS Television Network on March 23, 1987, the series has won 100 Daytime Emmy Awards and is the most-watched U.S.-produced daytime drama in the world, airing in 100 countries, with millions of viewers around the globe.
