The network has ordered a pilot for a new Pyramid from Sony Pictures Television, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? executive producer Michael Davies is behind the project.
The show is currently seeking a presenter.
The original Pyramid launched in 1973 with Dick Clark as host. The programme, which has gone through several revamps over the decades, paired contestants with celebrities in a word guessing game. Donny Osmond presented the most recent incarnation, which aired from 2002 to 2004.
It is thought that CBS is looking for the gameshow to replace exiting daytime drama As the World Turns.
