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

    • Thanks. I'm glad we have some fan memories of these years as this is such a typically snide take on the genre. It's also poorly written and reminds me a great deal of the tedious "snark" recaps that became popular in the '90s. The end in particular. The 1979/80 stuff I have seen is much more polished than a number of soaps at the time. It was very easy to watch and not too bogged down in past story.  Margo is played by Ann Williams, who was on what seemed like every soap. I think she said Margo was her favorite role.  These episodes aren't consecutive, but if you ever have time, they are worth a watch. They are bits and pieces from January and April of 1979 - April in and out of prison, her past calling to her via her psychic powers (and the suicide of Miles' wife Denise, who had murder framing in mind). April 1979 has the end of Winter Austen (such a fantastic soap name).  I don't want to drop a ton of links but you can find playlists on Youtube.
    • And the rating 'wars' continue...hehe.
    • Well, it was fun while it lasted for Rebecca Herbst. Le sigh.    
    • I am wholeheartedly enjoying this show. I just haven't been able to post as much as I used to. But yes, this episode needs to be submitted for the EMMYs and there needs to be wins. I better NOT see Y&R, DAYS, or B&B winning in categories over BTG. I feel like the only show that is giving BTG an ounce of competition this season is GH. 
    • I never thought the day would come, but too much MM for me. 
    • I think it may be that the character was brought in for a specific purpose and then became popular with viewers, and the show didn't know how to respond.  The choice to pivot away from Simon/India may show that you are right and they didn't care for her...although pairing them up may be another sign they didn't care for her. I don't connect well with this period but it does make me happy seeing some of these characters before the great purge and some of the surprises - I'd forgotten the wonderful Maureen O'Sullivan popped up to be bumped off. So typical of soaps by this point, but it doesn't grate as much as later on when Y&R would bring on any random cast member from Small Wonder. I'm also amazed at this time at just how much money the show must have had. The costumes for the Founder's celebration in summer 1984, or whatever it was, looked gorgeous.
    • Which officially started to feel that way today with them hearing each other out as they confronted each other at the same time.    Same. He was even catching himself when he was about to go overboard or do those tics that people don't seem to like. He failed a bit at the end, but he carried. It makes me think about a month back when it was discussed that the actor was better in other things he's been in. And I questioned then if that meant that he was playing Martin more intentionally. I questioned that briefly again today because he was giving. 
    • I really like the actress who plays Margo. Don't know  her name. I'm so hesitant to google anyone because I don't want to know the length they were on the show. I've watched two episodes and I have to say that the show does not feel as dated as other shows. I tried to watch Ryan's Hope a few weeks back and some of the acting was a bit rough. EON is a lot more natural which amuses me considering it's a mystery/thriller show.
