Why is 'Bull' Season 5 Episode 10 not airing on CBS? The show returns with 'The Boy Who Cried Murder'
As Dr. Jason Bull (Michael Weatherly) tries to overcome the murky waters of his complicated new case, the CBS legal drama gives him longer than usual to reach a stable conclusion, perhaps to almost collect himself from the cons of his profession. In that, viewers might be disappointed when they tune into CBS on Monday, March 1 at 'Bull' Season 5's regular 10 pm time slot because there's no new episode airing this week. Or the weeks to follow immediately in fact. 'Bull' is going on a random three-week hiatus in the middle of Season 5, but worry not, newer episodes are still listed for days to come after that. Read on to find out why the show is not airing tonight and when it returns to CBS.
Why is there no new episode of 'Bull'?
Much like the network's other procedurals, 'Bull' Season 5 too is possibly taking time out to film newer episodes for this season. Usually, shows do that well in advance, but with Covid-19 guidelines, filming at a stretch has become a thing of the past. Apart from random hiatuses, shows also take their designated winter breaks at the end of every year, but 'Bull' is already past that. So this has to be one of those breaks shows take to stretch out a whole season throughout the span of a few months at least.
