- CBS is airing a massive live special on April 10.
- The Artemis II crew is coming home after 10 days in space.
- Friday night TV will look a little different to make room.
We just saw the news that CBS is clearing their Friday night schedule. Why? Because space is calling. A crew of four people is finally coming back from a 10-day trip around the moon. It is a big deal.
The show is called the Artemis II Return To Earth special. Mark your calendars for Friday, April 10. It starts at 7:30 PM ET on the CBS network. You can also watch it on their streaming channels. We love a live TV event.
The visual vibe of this is going to be incredible. Imagine the bright white capsule hitting the deep blue ocean. That splashdown aesthetic is so cinematic. It reminds us of when Steven Spielberg worked on ‘Interstellar’. Space just looks better on a big screen.
CBS had to shift some shows around to make this happen. Friday primetime will look a bit different for people on the West Coast. While we wait for this, the TV world is already busy with new show buzz for 2026. The world of TV never stops moving.
We love seeing real-life heroes in action. It feels more exciting than a movie. It is even more fun than seeing Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden out together. This is history in the making. We are ready for the splashdown.
Our Take
We think this is a great move by CBS. Space brings everyone together. The colors of the dark sky and the glowing moon are the best art there is. We will definitely be watching with some popcorn. It is going to be a beautiful sight.
