Summer just began this week, but NBC is looking ahead to autumn. The network on Wednesday unveiled fall premiere dates for its returning drama, comedy and reality shows along with a trio of new series. See the full sked below.
The newly announced slate sticks mostly to what NBC revealed ahead of its upfront in May, with the One Chicago drama trio anchoring Wednesday nights and new reality competition spinoff The Traitors: New Blood joining the veteran Law & Order duo on Thursdays, as was revealed last week.
Also new next season is Newlyweds, the Téa Leoni-Tim Daly comedy airing at 8:30 p.m. Tuesdays starting October 23. It will air after Season 3 of Happy’s Place and before the veteran newsmagazine Dateline NBC.
