CBS’ fall schedule unveiled Wednesday includes new comedies starring Patricia Heaton and produced by Chuck Lorre and a psychological drama produced by the creators of “The Good Wife.”

Of the five series that premiered last fall four will return for second seasons — the crime dramas “FBI” and “Magnum P.I.” the uplifting drama “God Friended Me” and the comedy “The Neighborhood.”

The revival of “Murphy Brown” was canceled after one season, as was the comedy “`Happy Together,” which premiered last fall.

Also canceled were the comedy “Life in Pieces,” which ran for four seasons; the comedy “Fam,” the Chicago-set drama “The Red Line” and military legal drama “The Code,” which all premiered at midseason.

CBS had previously announced that the comedy “The Big Bang Theory” and the crime drama “Elementary” would end their runs in the 2018-19 season after 12 and seven seasons.

Heaton, who won two best actress in a comedy Emmys for her portrayal of Debra Barone on the 1996-2005 CBS comedy “Everybody Loves Raymond,” will star in “Carol’s Second Act” as a 50-year-old divorcee and retired teacher who pursues her dream of becoming a doctor.

A similar plot was used for “The Bob Crane Show,” which ran for 13 episodes in 1975 on NBC.

Lorre, best known as creator or co-creator of such series as “The Big Bang Theory,” “Mom,” “Young Sheldon” and “Two and a Half Men,” is an executive producer of “Bob Hearts Abishola,” which stars “Mike & Molly” alumnus Billy Gardell as a middle-aged compression sock businessman from Detroit who unexpectedly falls for his cardiac nurse (Folake Olowofoyeku) while recovering from a heart attack and sets his sights on winning her over.

The show is billed by CBS as a “comedic examination of immigrant life in America.”

CBS’ other new fall comedy is “The Unicorn,” which stars Walton Goggins as a father of two adolescent daughters beginning to date again following the death of his wife a year ago.

CBS’ new fall dramas are:

— “Evil,” a psychological mystery examining the origins of evil along the dividing line between science and religion. It is produced by the husband-and-wife team of Michelle and Robert King, creators of the 2009-16 CBS legal drama “The Good Wife.”

— “All Rise,” a Los Angeles-set courthouse drama starring Simone Missick as a recently appointed judge. The cast also includes Marg Helgenberger, who starred in CBS’ long-running procedural “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.”

CBS will shift four series into new time slots, most prominently “Young Sheldon,” which will move to “The Big Bang Theory’s” 8 p.m. Thursday time slot. The other shifts move “S.W.A.T.” to 10 p.m. Wednesday, “Hawaii Five-0” to 8 p.m. Friday and “Magnum P.I.” to 9 p.m. Friday.

Such existing series as “Big Brother,” “Criminal Minds,” “MacGyver,” “Man With a Plan” “The Amazing Race” and “Undercover Boss” will begin their seasons later in the season.

CBS announced the diplomatic drama “Madam Secretary” will end its run in the 2019-20 season, its sixth.

CBS’ fall schedule consists of 14 hours of dramas, three hours of comedies, two hours of news magazines and reruns and one hour of alternative programming.

“Our new lineup features both classic CBS shows and genres that viewers love, as well as some new series that push the boundaries of what you might expect from us,” CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl said.

Here is the CBS fall schedule:

— Monday: “The Neighborhood”; “Bob Loves Abishola”; “All Rise”; “Bull”;

— Tuesday: “NCIS”; “FBI”; “NCIS: New Orleans”;

— Wednesday: “Survivor”; “SEAL Team”; “`S.W.A.T.”;

— Thursday: “Young Sheldon”; “The Unicorn”; “Mom”; “Carol’s Second Act”; “Evil”;

— Friday: “Hawaii Five-0”; “Magnum P.I.”; “Blue Bloods”;

— Saturday: “Crimetime Saturday” drama reruns; “48 Hours”;

— Sunday: “60 Minutes”; “God Friended Me,” “NCIS: Los Angeles”; “Madam Secretary.”
