Meanwhile, the two other new shows are a game show called Stacks of Cash and a reality competition, 24 Hour Millionaire.
Mitch Graham, Executive VP Alternative Series at CBS, said about the network’s slate of shows: “These orders reflect our commitment to building a deep year-round unscripted slate with formats that are ambitious, entertaining and distinctly CBS.”

Just like the previous seasons, this new season of Undercover Boss will also follow CEOs and corporate executives who disguise themselves and take on jobs as everyday workers to see how their companies really function.
