Variety reports that CBS has renewed the true crime documentary series “Harlan Coben’s Final Twist” for a second season.
The announcement coincides with the announcement of CBS’ fall 2026-2027 schedule, with the show moving to Monday nights at 10 p.m. ET after new episodes of “FBI” and “CIA.” The first season aired on Tuesdays, with five episodes airing from January 7th to February 3rd.
“Harlan Coben’s Final Twist” is hosted by the renowned mystery author. The official logline reads, “In each one-hour episode, Harlan guides viewers through gripping tales of murder, high-profile crimes, and life-altering surprises, each carefully unraveled to reveal hidden truths, deceptions, and lies. With exclusive interviews and never-before-seen archival material, this series provides an in-depth look at stories that are not at all what they seem.”
Corben will executive produce the series with his son Ben Corben through their Final Twist Productions. Jeff Zimbalist will serve as showrunner and executive producer on behalf of All Rise Films. Stu Schleiberg will serve as executive producer for Triage Entertainment, and Susan Zirinsky and Terrence Long will serve as executive producers for See It Now Studios.

In addition, the daytime soap opera “Beyond the Gates” has been renewed for two more seasons.
