Fans of The Young and the Restless are left wondering why there’s no new episode. The break, which began on Thursday, March 20, 2025, is due to the network’s live coverage of an event. The good news? The show will return with new episodes soon.
Here’s everything viewers need to know about the break and when to expect their favorite Genoa City residents back on screen.
Why The Young and the Restless is on a break
CBS has temporarily paused new episodes of The Young and the Restless to make way for its coverage of March Madness.
The NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament is a major event, and CBS is airing live coverage of the games. This means daytime dramas like The Young and the Restless have been temporarily sidelined to make room for the tournament.
The rescheduling hasn’t just affected The Young and the Restless. Other CBS daytime shows, including The Bold and the Beautiful and Beyond the Gates, were also put on hold on March 20 and 21.
When will The Young and the Restless return with new episodes?
The Young and the Restless’s return date for new episodes is Monday, March 24, 2025. During the break, no new episodes will be available on streaming platforms like CBS.com or Paramount+.
Hence, viewers will have to wait until the scheduled return date to catch up. However, this isn’t the only interruption fans should prepare for. CBS has announced additional preemptions later in the season, specifically on April 29, April 30, May 6, and May 7, 2025.
Nonetheless, when the show returns on March 24, fans can expect plenty of drama. After all, Victor Newman and Michael Baldwin will dig deeper into the mysterious Aristotle Dumas, a character with a hidden connection to Victor. Meanwhile, Traci Abbott will share her concerns with Jack Abbott about her fiancé, Alan.
