CBS announces today that it has renewed Y&R, the No. 1 daytime drama for over 36 years for four more years. Viewers can expect to see the soap on their screens through the 2027-28, season, which means it will celebrate its 55th year on the air.

“The Young and the Restless has been a staple of daytime television for over 50 years, and it is with great pleasure that we will continue that legacy at CBS,” Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment, said in a statement.

“The talented cast and writers deliver compelling performances and stories on a daily basis and have provided iconic moments that have kept the show on top of the ratings and thrilled generations of fans for over five decades,” Reisenbach continued. “We look forward to seeing what new creative twists and turns they have planned for the folks of Genoa City.”
