Overview
- CBS Media Ventures announced Wednesday that it is developing a daytime talk show fronted by Property Brothers star Jonathan Scott and will film a pilot later in June in New York.
- The working title is Better! With Jonathan Scott and the format is billed as a lifestyle and inspiration show built around celebrity interviews and practical segments with lifestyle experts.
- If the pilot is picked up, CBS Media Ventures would offer the series to local stations in fall 2027 as part of its syndicated lineup rather than on a single network.
- Scott brings his home-renovation brand, business ventures, and public work on affordable housing and clean energy to the project, which may shape the show’s topics and guest choices.
- The announcement comes as several major daytime franchises have ended this year, creating a rare opportunity in first-run syndication and a litmus test for local stations evaluating new daytime content.
