NBC announced their new fall schedule yesterday and very few changes are afoot, with only 3 new shows making the cut. The week gets off to a familiar start with The Voice returning for another round on Mondays, followed by Manifest, a new drama about a missing plane that returns 5 years in the future. Tuesday leads off with more of The Voice, followed by This Is Us and New Amsterdam, a new medical drama that stars some old favorites.
Wednesday is turned over to Dick Wolf, with his 3 Chicago series running back to back to back. Comedy still reigns supreme on Thursday, with Superstore, The Good Place, and Will & Grace joined by I Feel Bad, from executive producer Amy Poehler. Law & Order: SVU moves to Thursday for its 20th season. Blindspot remains on Fridays, where it will continue to lead off the night.
The Blacklist returns at mid-season, debuting on Fridays after Blindspot. Also returning are A.P. Bio, Good Girls, and, after a pick-up from Fox, Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Four new shows also wait for spots on the air, including Abby’s, starring Natalie Morales as a woman who runs a bar in her backyard, The Enemy Within, a spy thriller starring Jennifer Carpenter, The Inbetween, which sounds fairly ludicrous, and The Village, about the inhabitants of a Brooklyn building. Similar to last year, the fate of Timeless is still up in the air.
Cancelled shows include The Brave, The Carmichael Show, and Great News.
