CBS renews 'Code Black,' 'Odd Couple, 'Minds' spinoff


The prognosis is good for CBS emergency-room drama Code Black, which will be back for a second season.

The top-rated network Monday also renewed three other series for the 2016-17 season: drama spinoff Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders; comedy remake The Odd Couple; and reality series Undercover Boss.

The news is not good for first-year action comedy Rush Hour, which won't be back, and the chance of a second season for another freshman show, drama Limitless, appears dim.

Code Black, which stars Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden and Bonnie Somerville, follows a team of doctors trying to handle a tidal wave of patients at the busiest ER in the country.

Borders, which features Gary Sinise, will return for a second season and Odd Couple, which stars Matthew Perry and Thomas Lennon, will get a third season; and long-running Boss will be back for Season 8.

CBS will present its 2016-17 programming schedule to advertisers Wednesday in New York.
