MICHAEL URIE, DAVID KRUMHOLTZ, SOPHIA BUSH AND BRANDON ROUTH STAR IN THE SERIES PREMIERE OF "PARTNERS," MONDAY, SEPT. 24 ON THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK

"Pilot" - When Joe must decide whether or not to ask Ali to marry him, Louis and his good intentions threaten to get in the way of his best friend's happiness, on the series premiere of PARTNERS, Monday, Sept. 24 (8:30-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

PARTNERS is a comedy based on the lives of creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick, about two life-long best friends and business partners whose "bromance" is tested when one of them is engaged to be married. Joe is an accomplished architect who leads with his head and not his heart, especially in his love life. That's in stark contrast to his gay co-worker, Louis, who is spontaneous, emotional and prone to exaggeration. Both have found joy in their love lives: Joe is newly engaged to Ali, a beautiful and sophisticated jewelry designer; and Louis' companion is Wyatt, a vegan nurse who Louis insists is just a promotion away from becoming a doctor. As news of Joe's engagement settles, time will tell if their business and personal bond can adapt to the addition of two other important relationships.
