We’re nonetheless a number of weeks away from Hearth Nation’s mid-season premiere on the 2025 TV schedule, however, it has been airing reruns on CBS whereas we wait. Nevertheless, this week that gained’t be taking place, and it’s for an important purpose.
This week has been a devastating one within the state of California, due to the wildfires. So many individuals – together with A-list actors – have misplaced their properties due to it. On the time of this writing, firefighters and first responders are working 24/7 to attempt to include them and save everybody impacted by them. For that purpose, Hearth Nation won’t be on this week.
The wildfires started on January 7, and CBS didn’t take lengthy to tug Hearth Nation from its schedule this week. On January 8, it was introduced that the deliberate rerun wouldn’t air, with Deadline writing that it was achieved “out of sensitivity to the devastation within the Los Angeles space and out of respect for the tens of hundreds impacted by the large Southern California fires.”
General, this resolution was necessary and made a variety of sense. Hearth Nation is a present all about preventing wildfires and different fireplace disasters in Northern California. It facilities round a division of Cal Hearth firefighters and follows occasions that aren’t that far off from what’s taking place in LA proper now. So, taking it out of CBS’s lineup this week felt like the appropriate transfer, contemplating how near house it may hit.
NCIS: Sydney will air tonight, January 10, in Hearth Nation’s regular 9 p.m. slot. Meaning, the CBS Friday lineup will encompass two episodes of the NCIS spinoff at 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. after which S.W.A.T. at 10 p.m. None of those are new episodes, they’re all encores, because the community will begin airing new episodes of just about all its programming towards the tip of January — which was all the time the plan.
Now, this could not delay the return of Hearth Nation, and the present shouldn’t expertise manufacturing delays due to the fires in Los Angeles.
As of proper now, Season 3’s mid-season premiere ought to air on January 31 at 9 p.m. ET. And I assume it’ll tackle varied cliffhangers like Eve’s relationship together with her dad, Gabriela and Jake’s one-night stand and Bode and Audrey’s state of affairs that includes them being caught in a swimming pool.
Additionally, based on ScreenRant, the present is generally filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. So, whereas exhibits which might be primarily based in LA, like Gray’s Anatomy and NCIS, are going through manufacturing delays, Hearth Nation shouldn’t be impacted by them.
In fact, it’s potential that Max Thieriot’s present might keep off the primetime lineup till the LA fires are beneath management out of respect and sensitivity for the state of affairs. As we study extra about that, we’ll hold you posted. For now, you may get pleasure from tonight’s programming which incorporates two episodes of NCIS: Sydney and one episode of S.W.A.T. and you’ll stream Hearth Nation with a Paramount+ subscription if you would like to.
If the whole lot stays on schedule, new episodes of the drama ought to return to CBS on Friday, January 31 at 9 p.m. ET.
