Following today’s announcement that CBS has renewed “The Young and the Restless” for four additional seasons, which will take the show through its 55th season and keep it on the air through at least the 2027-2028 TV season, many have wondered what that meant for sister soap “The Bold and the Beautiful.” It turns out the show will also continue, albeit for at least one additional season.

According to a report by TV Line, during the half-hour soap’s last renewal order, CBS included an additional option year, which means that when the network ordered two additional seasons back in March 2022, it also had the option to extend that order to a third season. TV Line notes via a CBS insider that the network “will” exercise that option, which means the show will continue through at least the 2024-2025 TV season and makes a formal renewal announcement a moot point.

TV Line’s report also notes that before today’s renewal announcement for “The Young and the Restless,” the current CBS renewals for its two soaps run through May 2024.

With ABC making behind-the-scenes changes at “General Hospital,” which will kick off its 62nd season in April, and the networks’ president recently saying they were “deeply committed” to the show, plus with “Days of our Lives” renewed through its 60th season at Peacock, it’s safe to say that the four remaining daytime drama series will continue to live on for at least another year.

“Days of our Lives” is contracted at Peacock through September 2025. “General Hospital” doesn’t officially receive renewal orders at ABC as the network owns the series outright. Like “World News Tonight with David Muir,” “Good Morning America,” and “This Week,” the shows are all network-owned and continue to air until the network decides not to continue with them.

I'm surprised they didn't get a longer renewal. I do wonder if Bradley is sweating it a bit. 

Brad is not sweating. SMH. B&B is in the top tier of U.S. daytime viewing and worldwide. They are not going anywhere soon. 

To be clear, B&B didn't get "renewed" in the sense that CBS said let's negotiate a new deal in 2024. No, what happened was CBS negotiated a two year deal in 2022, but added on an option to extend it to three years if it so chose. The article above indicates CBS is looking to exercise that option. So, technically, it is "renewed" through 2024-2025. But it will still undergo negotiations in the next couple of months before it's officially renewed in the traditional sense for a period beyond next season (season 38 for the show).

Yet demos are at 30 plus straight weeks of lows I can't imagine CBS is all too pleased iwth that. and international means nothing, it's the US that counts, that's the ad revenue, without the US it's pointless in other countries

I believe Bold will be on for at least 10 more years. The show is still watched around the globe and is self-sustained. That is probably the reason Brad is so lazy and doesn't care.

I DON'T ever want The bold and the beautiful to go off air. I wish hope will take her line hope for the future and get their own building.
