As expected, CBS has renewed “The Bold and the Beautiful” for three more seasons, which will bring the show through its 41st season.

Debuting March 23, 1987, the half-hour soap follows the entangled lives, passionate loves and high-stakes dramas of the Forrester, Logan and Spencer families, and is set against the backdrop of the glamorous Los Angeles fashion world and the fictional fashion house Forrester Creations.

Like its network sibling, “The Young and the Restless,” the renewal will see the daytime drama series remain on the network through the 2027-2028 television season.

After seven days of multiplatform viewing, “The Bold and the Beautiful” is averaging nearly 3.2 million viewers, with Paramount+ viewership in particular up +8% year-over-year.

During the week of March 31-April 4, 2025, the most recent week in which Live+Same Day ratings data is available, the soap opera ranked third among unrounded Women 18-49 (0.33 rating), topping “TODAY 3rd Hour” (0.32 rating) and even “The Young and the Restless” (0.31 rating) for the first time this season.

Recently celebrating its 38th anniversary, original cast members John McCook (Eric Forrester) and Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke Logan) remain part of the show’s cast and continue to drive storylines.

“We love being on CBS, and we couldn’t be happier,” said the show’s supervising producer, Casey Kasprzyk, when discussing the show’s future last year following news that CBS had exercised its one-year contract option written into the last renewal deal, which kept the soap on the air through the 2024-2025 television season.

"To all our incredible fans, thank you for your unwavering support and passion for #BoldandBeautiful," commented Kasprzyk on X (formerly Twitter), following the renewal announcement. "Your enthusiasm fuels our journey, and we’re excited to continue sharing the twists and turns of romance and drama with you. Let’s keep this adventure alive together!"

Later this year, the soap is expected to take part in another international adventure with an on-location shoot in Italy, as previewed by Kasprzyk, who had recently gone on a scouting trip to the country, particularly Naples and Capri. No word yet on which of the two cities will see the show's cast and crew shooting scenes.

The show previously shot episodes in Italy following trips to Lake Como in 1997, Venice in 1999, Portofino in 2002, Puglia in 2012, and, more recently, Rome in 2023.

Last month, “The Bold and the Beautiful” made daytime history when it celebrated Women’s History Month with an episode written, directed and acted in by cast member Heather Tom (Katie Logan).

Produced by Bell-Phillip Television Productions, Bradley Bell is the show’s executive producer and head writer.

Love that touch with KKL and JM's photos! They really should be front and center in these news... but this is the first article (on these specific news) I see with their photos and the fact that it's their 38th year. Nice detail that makes me happy. Thank you @Errol

If I have to answer that question, you have not been in the monthly threads.

  These days I'm usually in the minority of saying something good.

While I'm thrilled we're not losing another daytime drama but B&B is in the worst shape it's ever been. Having watched from the beginning, it's almost embarrassing to say I'm a fan. Maybe I'm brainwashed and don't realize it

    • I'll give it a shot. If this is bad it's on you, @carolineg!
    • Absolutely ridiculous that three soaps are going to make me watch today's episodes.
    • *eyeroll* on Hayley.   While I feel like he has more chemistry with Eva, the actor playing Tomas is slooooowly improving.   Le sigh Smitty. That said...we know I'm loving the near-misses around Martin's secret. And happy it is getting attention again the last week of May Sweeps.
    • I love how farmboy  Hart became a Guido with a thick New York accent. You could tell they never knew or cared what to do with Hart post MH, he was just a hunk of steroids to take off their shirt and have girls fight over him, but I never understood what Bridget, Dinah or Cassie saw in him..(besides the proverbial roll in the hay, now there is a 20 on the dresser get out.) The move from Hilliard to Grillo was really quick and I would like to know the story...was Moniz not liking him? For more on our good old George Pilgrim, read "Unscripted" where he makes a cameo appearance as Sumner Redstone's much younger mistresses side piece. When you read about him you could imagine that Pilgrim was writing his own dialogue as obnoxious J.  There is NO way he was a product of Nola and Quint.
    • What an hour of soap opera television. -- It doesn't get much better than this. Every actor delivered in every storyline. There's so much blame to be placed on so many characters for their mistakes, yet it's impossible not to sympathize with them. -- When Tracy looked at Gio after hearing the news about Dante and Brook Lynn, iT was just another example of the excellence of Jane Eliott. All it took was one look to make an already good Giovanni Mazza even better. -- My heart broke for Gio, but you have to feel heartbreak for Brook Lynn and Dante, too, unless you have ice in your veins. -- Cody's understanding and sympathy for everyone was real and sincere. Lulu was into her "Well, maybe in the long run this will all be better," but Cody understood that part of Lulu's reaction was a defense. She made mistakes, but she never wanted to hurt anyone. -- Neither did Lois, who's going to get it from all sides and take the brunt of the blame. I don't think she'll get any relief from Ned. Rena Sofer has been great at expressing her pain. -- Rory Gibson is off to a good start as Michael, and is expressing more emotion than he did in his entire run at Y&R. -- I didn't mind the Trina and Kai "first time" scenes. Those scenes were well-acted and nicely directed, and some goodness was needed in a show with so much heaviness. GH is on a really good run, and every day has been must-see TV.
    • There's something about the attachment you feel when you hear the theme music. I know some people love the Leaves opening (which is called something like Ritonelle...it's mainly strings) that ran during the Dobson era. The disco opening just feels foreign to me--like they tried to replicate nighttime drama openings (to my mind, Hawaii 5-0) and didn't understand that Mike holding a gun on someone or Nola screaming wasn't representative of what the show was about. The first ATWT character one has a white background that's harsh looking. They changed the backing colors a couple of times, but they used that damn shot of Carly for like three years. Later, like '05-06 maybe, there was a silly one that made it look like the characters were emerging from fields of something, that made my eyes roll right out of my head. It never got as bad as GL's "hands" opening, which is better forgotten. The BTG one convinces me there are different people in the roles, but I still have to think---"who is that now?"
    • 30 minutes in and...is there any Tracy that I dislike? lol. Cuz I love Traci on Y&R, Tracy on GH, and now Tracy on this show. She is reading the heck out of Anita so far. And sorry...Anita is not keeping up (though I am loving TT's performance). This is what I was expecting from Silk Press Sheila, but nope. But this comes of someone that truly knows someone. Loving it.   But I liking all the conversations so far today. Smitty and Martin especially. A gay couple having it out. And knowing that due to the development in Month 2 and the actors getting comfortable with their roles, I feel invested.    Not Kat pulling a Blair again on Chelesa. lol.     Same. I can avoid major spoilers for a day.

    • Yes.  I won't be able to articulate this correctly, but Tracy's delivery to Gio was almost clunky and perfect.  Gio didn't really understand how important her parents and their legacy is to her.  It was so Tracy.   Also, if I knew I was related to Lila I would immediately just sit in her rose garden and make vases and vases of beautiful roses lol
    • @j swift, that's Audrey Ames, played by Fia Porter. She was one of the actresses on Fraternity Row. https://www.oocities.org/historypg/oltl1989.html ETA: "Dorian's Fountain" would make an excellent pseudonym.
    • I got a new Robo-mop/vac today and I named it Dustin' Kiriakis.  And, it is connected through my home network, ISA Headquarters. The episode felt like treading water. Not much happened.  But, it confirmed @carolineg's time/space theory, that sometimes when characters aren't on screen time stops for them, and we go back in time to catch up with them.  Other times, they have been living the boring parts of their lives, and we catch them as they are at the moment. For example, Johnny, Tate, and Ari are all stuck back in the morning after John's accident.  But, Marlena, and John's kids are already in the afternoon of the same day. Also, I'm not janea4old, or Jason47, in that I can't tell when this episode was filmed.  But, I know airplanes were grounded in Italy on July 5, 2024, due to ashes from Mount Etna.  Ron retired immediately, starting 7/19/24.  So, it lines up with the new writers.
