"The Young and the Restless", the long-running CBS daytime drama, has been renewed for four more seasons.

The new renewal takes the show, which premiered in 1973, through the 2023-24 broadcast season, and to its 50th anniversary.

"The last time any other show was on top, Ronald Reagan was president, and the Berlin Wall was still standing.

"It's a remarkable achievement and a testament to the extraordinary cast, gifted writers, talented producers and supremely passionate fans, as well as our tremendous partnership with (Y&R studio) Sony Pictures Television," CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl said in a statement to Entertainment Weekly.
