CBS Studios, Inc. is an American television production company which is a subsidiary of the CBS Entertainment Group unit of Paramount Skydance Corporation. It was formed on January 17, 2006, by CBS Corporation as CBS Paramount (Network) Television, as a renaming of the original incarnation of the Paramount Television studio, as well as its merger with CBS Productions.

Key Information

It is the television production arm of the CBS network (CBS Productions previously assumed such functions until 2004, when it was merged into Paramount Television), and, along with Warner Bros. Television Studios (a part of Warner Bros. Discovery) and CW Studios (network's recently launched production arm), it is also the television production arm of The CW (in which Paramount has a 12.5% ownership stake; along with Warner Bros. Discovery).

CBS's original production and distribution units

[edit]

In 1952, the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) formed an in-house television production unit, CBS Productions, as well as facilities in the newly established Television City in the Fairfax District, Los Angeles in Westside. Also formed was CBS Television Film Sales (later known as CBS Films) as the distributor of off-network and first-run syndicated programming to local television stations in the United States and abroad.

In 1963, CBS Studio Center is established in the Studio City district of Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley. In 1970, CBS Films became Viacom Enterprises and was spun off the following year. In 1978, CBS' production unit gained the secondary/alternate name CBS Entertainment Productions.

In 1994, Westinghouse Electric acquired CBS. Viacom merged with its creator CBS, in 2000.

Paramount Pictures' early television ventures

[edit]

In 1939, experimental television stations were established in Los Angeles (W6XYZ) as Television Productions Inc. and Chicago (W9XBK) with Balaban and Katz. Commercial broadcasting began in 1943 over WBKB in Chicago (now WBBM-TV). Commercial broadcasting began in 1947 over KTLA in Los Angeles. In 1949, Paramount Pictures became the first major studio to establish program syndication with the Paramount Television Network (much of which originated from KTLA). Paramount branched out of broadcasting in 1964 with the sale of KTLA to Gene Autry.

Desilu Productions, later Paramount Network Television

[edit]

Desilu Productions was formed in 1950 by Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball.[1][2] Desilu Studios was established in Hollywood and Culver City in 1957, after Arnaz/Ball purchased the RKO Pictures studio lot. Desilu Sales Inc. was formed in 1962 as the company's syndication arm. In 1967, Desilu Productions was acquired by Gulf and Western Industries. The company became the television division of Paramount Pictures Corporation in July, retaining the Desilu name until the end of that year.[3] Desilu Sales, in turn, merged with Paramount's syndication division to become Paramount Television Sales.

From 1966 to 1967, Gulf+Western acquired Paramount Pictures. In 1968, Paramount Television, formerly Desilu, was established as the studio's television production unit.[4] In 1977, Paramount Television Service was formed. In 1982, Paramount Television Group and Paramount Domestic Television and Video Programming was established. In September 1989, Gulf+Western was reincorporated as Paramount Communications, Inc.. On March 11, 1994, Viacom acquired Paramount Communications. In 1995, Viacom launched the United Paramount Network (UPN) with Chris-Craft Industries.

On August 10, 2004, Viacom merged the international television banners of CBS Broadcast International and Paramount International Television to form CBS Studios International. On September 7, 2004, Viacom merged CBS Productions and Paramount Network Television to form a new entity of Paramount Network Television, also known as CBS Paramount Television Entertainment Group, with CBS Productions becoming an in-name-only unit.[5]

On December 31, 2005, as the CBS/Viacom split took effect, CBS inherited Paramount's television program library, with the second incarnation of Viacom keeping Paramount's films, the MTV Networks and the BET Networks.

On January 17, 2006, CBS Corporation CEO Les Moonves announced that Paramount Television would be renamed CBS Paramount Television as of that day, and the network division becoming CBS Paramount Network Television, and the domestic distribution arm becoming CBS Paramount Domestic Television.[6]

On September 26, 2006, CBS Corporation merged its television distribution arms—King World, CBS Paramount International Television and CBS Paramount Domestic Television—to form CBS Television Distribution. CBS Home Entertainment was then established as a subsidiary of the latter.[7]

On May 17, 2009, the Paramount name was dropped after a 3½-year loan of its use from sister company Viacom, forming CBS Television Studios.[8]

National Amusements retained majority control of both CBS and the second Viacom. For a short time, many of Paramount's theatrical films were distributed domestically by CBS Television Distribution (the new name for the distribution arm as of 2007).[9] Paramount Home Entertainment continues to distribute home video sales of CBS shows through the CBS DVD brand.

From 2009 until 2011, all shows produced by the company aired on either CBS or The CW. In the past, Paramount Television produced shows for all networks, but especially had a good relationship with ABC (much as Universal Television had a good relationship with eventual sister network NBC). The Cleaner, which aired on A&E until September 2009, was the most recent show from the company to air on a network other than CBS or The CW (which is ironic when NBC/ABC's ownership of A&E is taken into account). This was until BET began airing new episodes of The Game in 2011. In 2012, USA Network began airing Common Law.

CBS Television Studios does not directly produce any shows appearing on Showtime, a premium cable television network co-owned with the studio. Instead, sister company Showtime Entertainment handles in-house productions for the network. However, CBS Television Distribution and its international arm handle syndication distribution for these shows if they ever appear in syndication.

On October 25, 2018, CBS Television Studios announced the opening of a new animation division, CBS Eye Animation Productions. A new Star Trek series entitled Star Trek: Lower Decks was announced simultaneously.[10]

ViacomCBS re-merger; rebranding as CBS Studios

[edit]

It was announced on August 13, 2019, that parent company CBS Corporation would reunite with Viacom to form a combined media company and be renamed ViacomCBS (now known as Paramount Global).[11] The merger closed on December 4.[12] For the first time in nearly fourteen years, Paramount Global encompasses the Paramount Pictures film studio, the current incarnation of its television division, and CBS's production studio under one umbrella.

On October 8, 2020, it was announced that CBS Television Studios had been renamed CBS Studios as part of a unification of branding elements between CBS divisions, citing that use of the word "Television" in the name was antiquated due to its position of producing programming for multiple platforms.[13]

from Grokipedia
CBS Studios, Inc. is an American television production company and a division of the CBS Entertainment Group within Paramount Skydance.[1] It serves as one of the industry's leading suppliers of entertainment programming, with more than 70 series currently in production across broadcast and cable networks, streaming services, and other emerging platforms worldwide.[2] The company specializes in scripted content, including dramas, comedies, and procedurals, distributed domestically and internationally through CBS Studios International.[3] The origins of CBS Studios trace back to CBS's early forays into television production in the 1950s, exemplified by the opening of CBS Television City in Los Angeles in 1952 as a dedicated facility for live and taped programming.[4] The contemporary structure emerged on January 17, 2006, when CBS Corporation formed CBS Paramount Television by merging the assets of CBS Productions and Paramount Television, which had been combined in 2004. Following the expiration of a licensing agreement for the Paramount branding in May 2009, the entity was renamed CBS Television Studios.[5] In October 2020, as part of a comprehensive rebranding initiative to unify CBS's visual, auditory, and messaging elements across its divisions, it adopted the simplified name CBS Studios.[6] This evolution aligned with the 2019 merger of CBS Corporation and Viacom to form ViacomCBS (later rebranded Paramount Global in 2022), and the subsequent 2025 merger with Skydance Media to create Paramount Skydance.[1] CBS Studios has a prolific output of notable programming, including long-running franchises such as the NCIS series, Blue Bloods, and The Equalizer, which air on the CBS network.[7] Recent successes encompass comedies like Ghosts and procedurals including Fire Country, Matlock, and Watson. In November 2025, Paramount announced plans for a significant expansion of its television studios' output.[8] The company also develops content for Paramount+ streaming originals and collaborates on international co-productions, licensing to over 200 markets globally through its international arm.[9]

History

Predecessors

The origins of CBS Studios as a television production entity can be traced to the Columbia Broadcasting System's (CBS) early radio broadcasting efforts and subsequent expansion into television during the 1930s and 1940s. CBS was incorporated in 1927 as United Independent Broadcasters, Inc. and renamed Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc. the following year.[10] To build a West Coast presence, CBS partnered with the Don Lee Broadcasting System in 1929, affiliating stations such as KFRC in San Francisco and KHJ in Los Angeles, which formed the Don Lee-Columbia Network and expanded CBS's reach across the Pacific region. This radio foundation laid the groundwork for television production, as CBS acquired key Los Angeles assets, including radio station KNX for $1.25 million on March 19, 1936, to support emerging TV initiatives.[11] As television gained momentum post-World War II, CBS invested in dedicated facilities to enable in-house production. The Columbia Square complex at 6121 N. Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood was completed in 1937 and dedicated on April 30, 1938, serving as the network's primary West Coast hub with Studio A (seating 1,050) and later additions of Studios B and C (350 seats each) by 1940.[12] In 1948, CBS acquired a 49% stake in KTTV, which launched on January 1, 1949, and began producing local programming like the Tournament of Roses Parade. Further expansion included the purchase of KTSL on January 1, 1951, renamed KNXT by October 1951, operating from 1313 Vine Street. A milestone coast-to-coast live TV broadcast occurred on September 23, 1951, with the "Marathon for Freedom" special originating from Columbia Square via AT&T's microwave relay system.[13] These facilities supported CBS's shift toward self-produced content, culminating in the opening of Television City on November 15, 1952 (with initial broadcasts on October 3, 1952), featuring advanced studios 31, 33, 41, and 43 designed specifically for efficient TV production.[4] A pivotal development in CBS's production history was the formation of CBS Productions in 1952, established as an in-house unit to create original programming and diminish reliance on independent producers. This arm produced landmark series and specials, contributing to CBS's dominance in early network television. In 1971, CBS's film and TV syndication operations were spun off into Viacom International, which initially handled distribution but later influenced production through its own units.[14] On the Paramount side, a major predecessor emerged with Paramount Television, launched in the late 1960s by Paramount Pictures to handle its growing TV output. In 1967, Paramount acquired Desilu Productions—founded by Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball in 1950—from Ball, absorbing a library of hits including I Love Lucy, The Andy Griffith Show, and the original Star Trek series.[14] Paramount Television expanded through the 1970s and 1980s, producing franchises like Cheers and Mission: Impossible. Following the 2000 Viacom acquisition of CBS and the 2006 corporate split, Paramount Television's assets merged with CBS Productions in January 2006 to create CBS Paramount Network Television (later CBS Paramount Television), unifying libraries from Desilu, Viacom Productions, Spelling Television, and others into a single powerhouse.[15][14] This entity was rebranded as CBS Television Studios in 2009, preserving the legacy of these predecessors until the final shift to CBS Studios in 2020.[14]

Formation

CBS Studios originated from the 2006 restructuring of CBS Corporation following its separation from Viacom Inc. in December 2005. On January 17, 2006, CBS Corporation announced the formation of CBS Paramount Television, a new television production and distribution entity created by merging the existing CBS Productions—CBS's long-standing in-house production unit—with Paramount Network Television, the television arm previously owned by Viacom.[15] This merger aimed to consolidate resources and leverage the combined legacies of both brands to enhance CBS's position in scripted and unscripted programming development, production, and syndication across broadcast, cable, and emerging digital platforms. The new studio was placed under the leadership of Nancy Tellem as president of the CBS Paramount Television Entertainment Group, with David Stapf appointed as president of CBS Paramount Network Television to oversee day-to-day operations. Under the terms of the CBS-Viacom split, CBS Corporation secured a temporary license to use the "Paramount" name for its television operations, reflecting Paramount's storied history in hit series such as Star Trek and Frasier. The formation marked a strategic shift for CBS, enabling greater in-house control over content creation amid intensifying competition in the television industry, and positioned the entity to produce flagship programming for CBS's broadcast network while expanding into international distribution.[15] This unified structure immediately began producing key series, including early seasons of The Good Wife and NCIS, establishing a robust pipeline that would define the studio's output. By integrating CBS's broadcast expertise with Paramount's syndication strengths, the formation laid the groundwork for what would evolve into one of Hollywood's premier television production companies, adapting to the rise of streaming and global content demands in subsequent years.

Mergers and Rebranding

In 2000, Viacom Inc. acquired CBS Corporation in a $44 billion deal, creating a combined entity that integrated CBS's television production operations with Viacom's existing units, including Paramount Television.[16] This merger laid the groundwork for the eventual formation of CBS Paramount Television in 2006 following the corporate split.[15] Following the 2005 announcement and 2006 completion of Viacom's corporate split, the company divided into two separate entities: the new Viacom Inc., which retained Paramount Television, and CBS Corporation, which took ownership of CBS Paramount Network Television along with other CBS assets.[17] In 2009, CBS Corporation rebranded CBS Paramount Network Television as CBS Television Studios, dropping the "Paramount" name after a licensing agreement with the newly independent Viacom expired, allowing CBS to unify its production branding independently.[18] The 2019 merger reunited CBS Corporation and Viacom Inc. to form ViacomCBS Inc., an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $30 billion that was announced on August 13 and completed on December 4, integrating CBS Television Studios into the larger entity's content production portfolio alongside Paramount Television.[19] As part of post-merger branding unification efforts, ViacomCBS rebranded CBS Television Studios simply as CBS Studios on October 8, 2020, to align it more closely with the CBS network's identity and emphasize its role in producing content across broadcast, cable, and streaming platforms.[20] In February 2022, ViacomCBS rebranded to Paramount Global to consolidate its identity around the Paramount brand, reflecting a strategic pivot toward streaming services like Paramount+ while retaining CBS Studios as a key production division within the new corporate structure.[21] This rebranding did not alter CBS Studios' operational focus but positioned it under a unified Paramount umbrella that encompasses film, television, and digital content production. On August 7, 2025, Paramount Global completed an $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, forming Paramount Skydance Corporation and creating a new media entity led by Skydance's David Ellison as CEO, with Shari Redstone's National Amusements retaining a significant stake.[1] CBS Studios continues to operate as a subsidiary, benefiting from enhanced resources for content creation amid the combined company's emphasis on global streaming and intellectual property development.[22] Following the merger, Paramount revived Paramount TV Studios under executive Matt Thunell in August 2025, with CBS Studios focusing primarily on broadcast content while sharing streaming production responsibilities, such as developing series like Reacher at Paramount TV Studios. In November 2025, the company announced plans for a significant expansion of its television studios' output and implemented over 1,600 layoffs as part of $3 billion in cost-cutting measures.[23][24][8][25]

Organizational Structure

Leadership

CBS Studios is led by President David Stapf, who has held the position since 2004 and oversees all aspects of the studio's operations, including development, production, and distribution of television content across broadcast, cable, and streaming platforms.[26] In September 2025, Stapf signed a new three-year contract extension, ensuring continuity in leadership amid Paramount Global's ongoing restructuring.[27] Under his tenure, the studio has produced over 50 series annually, including major franchises like the NCIS universe, which has exceeded 1,000 episodes and remains a top global scripted brand.[26] Reporting to Stapf, the executive team includes specialized leaders in creative development, business affairs, and finance. Bryan Seabury serves as Executive Vice President and Head of Content Strategy and Drama Development, a role expanded in January 2025 to encompass strategic oversight of drama projects alongside development responsibilities.[28] Seabury, who joined CBS Studios in 2016 after prior stints at the network, has guided the creation of hits like the Matlock reboot and Fire Country, contributing to the studio's focus on procedural and character-driven dramas.[29] Alec Botnick holds the position of Executive Vice President of Comedy Development and Head of Animation and Alternative, managing the studio's comedy slate, animated projects, and unscripted formats.[30] On the business side, Allison Brightman acts as Executive Vice President and Co-Head of Business Affairs for CBS Studios and CBS Entertainment, a role she has held since 2022, focusing on negotiations, contracts, and operations for studio productions.[31] Complementing her is Eric Gray, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for CBS Studios and Network Entertainment, who joined in 2021 and manages financial strategy, budgeting, and reporting for the division.[32] This leadership structure supports CBS Studios' position as a key production entity within Paramount Global's TV media portfolio, led at the corporate level by George Cheeks, Chair of TV Media.[33]

Divisions and Facilities

CBS Studios encompasses several specialized divisions that support its core functions in television production, animation, and global distribution. The primary production division focuses on developing and producing a wide range of scripted series, unscripted content, and limited series for broadcast networks, cable channels, and streaming platforms, with over 70 series in active production as of 2025. This arm handles high-profile shows across genres, including drama, comedy, and reality formats, often in collaboration with external partners. Additionally, CBS Eye Animation Productions serves as the dedicated animation division, creating original animated series and adaptations for both domestic and international audiences, such as the upcoming Among Us animated series developed in partnership with Innersloth.[2] Subsidiaries under CBS Studios include Big Ticket Entertainment, an Emmy-winning unit specializing in syndicated programming, most notably the long-running courtroom series Judge Judy and its spin-off Hot Bench, which continue to generate significant revenue through domestic distribution. CBS Media Ventures operates as the syndication and advertising sales subsidiary, managing the licensing and monetization of CBS Studios' content library across off-network sales, first-run syndication, and digital platforms. Internationally, CBS Studios International functions as the global production and distribution arm, handling co-productions, format adaptations, and content sales in over 150 markets, building on legacy operations formerly known as CBS Paramount International Television. These entities are listed as active subsidiaries in Paramount Global's 2024 annual SEC filing, reflecting their integration within the broader CBS Entertainment Group structure.[34][35][36] In terms of facilities, CBS Studios relies on a network of owned and operated production sites primarily in the United States, with key hubs in Los Angeles and New York to support both live and post-production needs. The CBS Studio Center, located at 4024 Radford Avenue in Studio City, California, spans 40 acres and features 18 sound stages ranging from 5,000 to 30,000 square feet, along with extensive backlots, production offices, and support services like set construction and equipment rental; it has hosted iconic CBS productions since the 1960s and remains a cornerstone for ongoing series filming. Television City, situated at 7800 Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles, is a historic 780,000-square-foot complex originally built by CBS in 1952, offering eight modernized stages optimized for audience tapings, live broadcasts, and multi-camera setups; now operated as TVC Studios and leased by CBS, it continues to facilitate CBS programming like late-night shows and game formats with full in-house production capabilities.[37][38][4] Complementing these West Coast assets, the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City, located at 524 West 57th Street, provides a comprehensive full-service facility for East Coast operations, including five sound stages, advanced control rooms, set design workshops, and post-production suites tailored for news, sports, and entertainment content; it supports over 100 productions annually and is the primary site for CBS News integration with studio work. These facilities collectively enable efficient workflow across time zones, with recent expansions including leased space at a new studio campus in Bayonne, New Jersey, to bolster regional production capacity under Paramount Global's initiatives.[39][40]

Productions

Television Series

CBS Studios has established itself as a leading producer of scripted television series, specializing in procedural dramas, legal thrillers, and family-oriented crime stories that have anchored primetime lineups on CBS and extended to streaming platforms like Paramount+. Formed from the merger of CBS Productions and Paramount Television in 2006, the studio's output emphasizes ensemble casts, serialized storytelling, and high-stakes investigations, contributing to billions of viewer hours across global audiences. Its productions often blend entertainment with social commentary, earning numerous awards including Emmys and Peabody honors for series like The Good Wife.[23][41] The studio's most enduring success is the NCIS franchise, which debuted in 2003 and has grown into a multimedia empire with spin-offs including NCIS: Los Angeles (2009–2023), NCIS: New Orleans (2014–2021), NCIS: Hawai'i (2021–2024), and NCIS: Origins (2024–present). Produced in association with Belisarius Productions, the flagship NCIS has surpassed 450 episodes, consistently ranking among the top-rated scripted series and generating international adaptations. Similarly, the FBI franchise, launched in 2018 in partnership with Wolf Entertainment, features FBI, FBI: Most Wanted (2020–present), and FBI: International (2021–present), focusing on counterterrorism and federal investigations; these shows have bolstered CBS's procedural dominance, with the trio airing over 150 episodes combined.[42][43][7] Other landmark series highlight CBS Studios' versatility in genres. Criminal Minds (2005–2020), co-produced with 20th Television, profiled FBI behavioral analysts solving serial crimes and ran for 324 episodes before reviving as Criminal Minds: Evolution on Paramount+ in 2022, exploring modern threats like cybercrime. Legal dramas The Good Wife (2009–2016) and its spin-off The Good Fight (2017–2022), both created by Robert and Michelle King, examined ethics and politics in the legal world, with the original earning five Emmys for its nuanced portrayal of female leads. Family-centric procedurals like Blue Bloods (2010–2024), which depicted a multi-generational NYPD clan, concluded after 293 episodes, underscoring the studio's knack for sustained viewer loyalty.[44][41][7] In recent years, CBS Studios has diversified with reboots and original concepts, such as the action reboot The Equalizer (2021–present) starring Queen Latifah and the adventure drama Tracker (2024–present), which quickly became CBS's most-watched new series premiere in years. The studio also pursues international co-productions, including Gold Diggers for Australia's ABC and Electric Years for France and Spain, adapting formats to local markets while maintaining global appeal. Through partnerships like the NAACP joint venture, CBS Studios has amplified diverse voices in series development, fostering inclusive narratives in ongoing projects like the soap opera Beyond the Gates (2024–present).[7][45][46]

In addition to network procedurals, CBS Studios contributes to Paramount+ originals through collaborations and post-2024 consolidations. A standout recent drama is Landman (2025–present), a Taylor Sheridan-created series starring Billy Bob Thornton, which achieved the largest sophomore season in U.S. streaming history with 26.9 million viewers in the week following its January 2026 finale, surpassing benchmarks from shows like Bridgerton and Reacher. This success underscores the studio's pivot to premium, character-driven streaming content amid DTC growth. Post the 2025 Skydance merger forming Paramount Skydance, the company announced significant expansion of TV studio output, emphasizing efficient production and global appeal for dramas.

Animation and Digital Content

CBS Studios entered the animation space in 2018 with the launch of its dedicated animation division, CBS Eye Animation Productions, aimed at developing original animated series for broadcast, cable, and streaming platforms.[47] The division's inaugural project was the adult-oriented comedy Star Trek: Lower Decks, announced on October 25, 2018, as the first animated series for CBS All Access (now Paramount+). Created by Mike McMahan and produced in collaboration with Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment, the series follows the lower-ranking officers aboard a Starfleet support ship, blending humor with franchise lore, and premiered its first season in August 2020.[48] Building on this foundation, CBS Eye Animation Productions expanded its portfolio with family-friendly CG-animated projects. In April 2019, the division partnered with Nickelodeon Animation Studio to produce Star Trek: Prodigy, created by Kevin and Dan Hageman, which follows a group of young aliens commandeering a Starfleet vessel; the series debuted on Nickelodeon in October 2021 before moving to Paramount+ and later Netflix following its initial cancellation.[49] Alec Botnick was appointed head of animation in October 2019, overseeing development and production strategies to grow the division's output.[50] The division has since diversified into reboots and adaptations, including the animated revival Everybody Still Hates Chris, produced with Chris Rock Enterprises and 3 Arts Entertainment, which premiered on Comedy Central on September 25, 2024 and explores the comedian's coming-of-age experiences through animation. Another notable project is the upcoming Among Us animated series, developed in partnership with game creator Innersloth and animated by Titmouse, Inc., featuring a voice cast including Elijah Wood and Ashley Johnson; development began in summer 2023, targeting a Paramount+ release.[51][52] In addition to traditional animation, CBS Studios has emphasized digital content production for streaming and online distribution, particularly through Paramount+. As part of a 2025 reorganization, CBS Studios took primary responsibility for select streaming series, including animated and hybrid digital formats, to streamline content creation for on-demand platforms. This includes short-form digital extensions and web-optimized episodes tied to flagship animated properties, enhancing viewer engagement across mobile and connected devices.[23] The studio's digital efforts also incorporate visual effects integration via its CBS VFX unit, formerly CBS Digital, which rebranded in 2019 to support animation pipelines and post-production for streaming originals.[53]
