Lingo is on the move.
CBS has pushed the final four episodes of the RuPaul Charles-hosted quiz show’s first season to the 2023/24 season.
The show was renewed for a second season last month and those four episodes will now air as part of that run.
Lingo aired on Wednesdays at 9pm and has been replaced by repeats of FBI: Most Wanted, FBI, FBI: International and CSI: Vegas over the next four weeks.
Survivor and True Lies remain part of the Wednesday lineup.
The game sees teams of two contestants face off in fast-paced puzzle rounds to guess letters that reveal seemingly simple words. At the end of each one-hour episode, the two winning teams will make it through to a final showdown where one will walk away with an additional big cash prize.
The series, which was created by Ralph Andrews, has previously aired three versions in the U.
