CBS has announced that the new episodes of NCIS, FBI, and FBI: Most Wanted that were originally scheduled and advertised as airing on April 20 have been delayed in response to the Derek Chauvin verdict.
In their place will be repeats of the NCIS episode “True Believer” and FBI’s “Uncovered,” and at 10PM, CBS will be airing a CBS News special about today’s verdict.
It is likely these episodes will air on April 27 instead, giving these series an uninterrupted run through their season finales. When the shows do come back, here’s what we have to look forward to:
NCIS “Sangre” – Evidence from the stabbing of a Marine Sergeant leads Torres to meet his father, Miguel (guest star Steven Bauer), who left when he was a child. Pam Dawber returns as investigative reporter Marcie Warren.
FBI “Fathers and Sons” – The team rushes to track down two doctors abducted by a desperate father willing to do anything to save his son. Also, Jubal’s uncertainty in his family life affects his judgement during the hostage situation.
FBI: Most Wanted “Criminal Justice” – When a young man accidentally shoots a cop in self-defense and goes on the run, the team members find themselves in a moral dilemma on the best way to carry out justice. Also, Barnes and her wife struggle with their plans to have another child.

I guess the network hopes for riots after a not guilty verdict didn’t pan out.
I think you are instead talking about their expectations, not hopes. As in, their expectation that the justice system would fail people of color once again. Thankfully the right outcome happened, for once.
