CBS Sunday Movie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The CBS Sunday Movie (also known at various times as the CBS Sunday Night Movie) is the umbrella title for a made-for-TV and feature film showcase series originally airing from 1941 on CBS until the end of the 2005–2006 television season, when it was replaced with a drama series. It was the last of the weekly Sunday night movie showcases aired by the Big Three television networks to be canceled, outside of special event premieres and the network's previous run of the Hallmark Hall of Fame film anthology.

On April 7, 2020, as part of schedule changes associated with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on television in the United States, CBS announced that it would air feature films under the CBS Sunday Night Movies banner for a five-week event in May 2020, featuring films from corporate sister Paramount Pictures. A sixth week was added to the event to fill the timeslot of the postponed 74th Tony Awards, featuring a sing-along version of Grease.[1]

In September 2020, CBS announced that the block would return for six additional weeks beginning in October, filling the network's Sunday-night schedule to allow time for its Sunday-night dramas (The Equalizer, NCIS: Los Angeles, and NCIS: New Orleans) to resume production.[2]
