NBC Announces Fall Premiere Dates

NBC, like any of the five broadcast networks, has populated its fall primetime line-up with what is currently available as we continue to battle coronavirus. This fall on NBC we will see new seasons of dramas “This Is Us,” “Law & Order: SVU,” “The Blacklist” and the “Chicago” franchise – “Chicago Med,” “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago PD.” Additionally, there is Sunday Night Football (assuming the NFL continues); sitcoms “Superstore” and newbie “Connecting,” music competition “The Voice;” “Ellen’s Game of Games” and the revival of game “The Weakest Link,” hosted by Jane Lynch; and newsmagazine “Dateline.”

Previous airdates for NBC series already announced include hit Canadian drama “Transplant” (Sept. 1) and the return of athletic competition series “American Ninja Warrior” (Sept. 7).

Returning series set to debut after Jan. 1 include “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Good Girls,” “Making It,” “Manifest,” “New Amsterdam” and “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist.”

New series set to launch in 2021 include “Kenan,” “Law & Order: Organized Crime,” “Mr. Mayor,” “That’s My Jam,” “Small Fortune,” “True Story,” “Who Do You Think You Are?” and “Young Rock.”
