Fall TV 2023: NBC

NBC Fall TV Look 2023 Upfronts


         NBC has released it's fall line up, a tick earlier than normal. Comedy is back on the table at the start of the season.  The hit revival of  Night Court will be back on Tuesdays along with a new series the return of Jon Cryer to network TV with Extended Family.  Tuesday also gets Quantum Leap .  Another interesting change is that the second night of Dick Wolf programming  where the Law & Order series were running has been cut to 2 hours with new drama Found taking the slot that was held by Law & Order: Organized Crime  on Thursday nights.  That program will be back in mid season.  Lopez vs. Lopez  has been renewed but status (as of this writing) for Young Rock hasn't been given yet. 

            The Voice keeps its normal Monday slot, with a new drama getting its AGT boost that being The Irrational .  The Chicago night continues on Wednesdays. Fridays is light fare with The Wall and Dateline NBC taking up the night. 

        Thanks to new college football rights, NBC will fill Saturday Night with Big Ten Football from 7pm ET/4PT and that or Notre Dame Football.  Sundays , of course, belong to NFL Sunday Night Football. 

           NBC feels secure in their line up coming to plan on time even with the writers' strike due to renewing shows early to get something done before the strike.   

             For mid season,  La Brea will be back, which was moved from starting in regular season to being a mid season replacement show. The drama was renewed for  6-episode season. Magnum P.I which NBC saved from cancelation, will have its 2nd half of its 5th season in midseason. 

                Also, the second season of Password  which is effected by the writers' strike is coming in the mid season.  Deal or No Deal is back on NBC, but with a twist , another America's Got Talent spin-off.  The Americas , a natural history series will also be airing.

“Law & Order: Organized Crime” is on the case once again in midseason, along with the return of fan-favorites “La Brea,” “Magnum P.I.” and season 2 of “Lopez vs. Lopez.” Last year’s #1 in total viewers new unscripted series “Password,” starring Jimmy Fallon and hosted by Keke Palmer, will be back with another round of the iconic game show. NBC will also debut an epic 10-part tentpole event series “The Americas,” narrated by actor, producer and writer Tom Hanks with music by two-time Oscar winner Hans Zimmer. In addition, the third and fourth seasons of hospital drama “Transplant” will return to the network.

----------------------------------

NBC has more shows in the top 20 than any other network in the key 18-49 demographic and is home to the #1 unscripted program “The Voice,” the #1 broadcast drama with “Chicago P.D.,” the #1 entertainment program with “Saturday Night Live,” and the #1 new comedy of the 2022-23 season with “Night Court.” Late-night staples “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and “Late Night with Seth Meyers” are both #1 in their time periods in the demo.

As part of NBC’s rolling development cycle, the following projects have been picked-up to pilot with decisions yet to be made on series greenlights: comedies “Non-Evil Twin” and “St. Denis Medical,” and dramas “Wolf” and the untitled pilot from Jenna Bans and Bill Krebs. With NBC’s 52-week scheduling strategy, these pilots – if picked up to series – could be possibilities for later in the 2023-24 season or could roll over to the 2024-25 season.

Decisions are yet to be made on “American Auto,” “Grand Crew” and “Young Rock.”

The 2023 fall schedule will follow another huge summer on NBC, where the network has ranked #1 in total viewers for eight years running.
