Some semi-good news for fans of After Midnight with Taylor Tomlinson: while the show aired its final original episode on Thursday, it’s not vanishing from the CBS schedule—at least not just yet.
Reruns of the late-night comedy panel show will continue airing in the post-Colbert time slot through mid-September, giving viewers one last stretch to revisit the best of the show’s 18-month run.
The repeat slate kicks off tonight with a rerun of Thursday’s series finale, and will continue next week with a selection of episodes dating as far back as May 2024. Judging by the early schedule, CBS isn’t airing episodes in order, instead curating a mix from different points in the show’s run—a sort of summer “greatest hits” package.
It wasn’t necessarily a given that CBS would repeat episodes of the show through the summer. When Late Show with David Letterman ended in May 2015, CBS chose to fill the late-night void with repeats of primetime dramas until Stephen Colbert’s version of The Late Show premiered that fall. By contrast, After Midnight is getting a bit more of a victory lap.
The show’s rerun window will close on September 22nd, when CBS hands the time slot over to back-to-back episodes of Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen.
It’s not clear what will happen with the show’s archive on Paramount+ moving forward. As of this writing, the show’s entire second season is still available for streaming (while Season 1 is not)
