NBC’s released its 2018-2019 primetime schedule which will include the debut of two dramatic series and one comedy this fall. The network’s fall lineup also features two nights of The Voice and a Wednesday block of the Chicago shows: Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D..
The new medical drama New Amsterdam gets the coveted spot behind the network’s award-winning drama This Is Us on Tuesdays. And, Thursday night is once again made up of half-hour comedies until the 10pm block.
“Once again, we are coming into the season from a place of strength and stability, which makes us bullish about a scheduling strategy that delivers top-notch original programming not just in the fall, but year round,” stated Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, NBC Entertainment. “We have a very strong fall schedule, as always, but winter, spring and summer are every bit as important to us, and this year we’re putting our talent and our money where our mouth is. This schedule builds on the type of programming that makes NBC #1 year after year: bold, humanistic, compelling dramas; an unmatched collection of the highest-quality unscripted shows for the entire family; and one of the strongest comedy lineups on television that is unique to the legacy of the NBC brand.”
“I continue to be proud of the pedigree of talent on both sides of the camera, from global superstars and producers like Dwayne Johnson, Jennifer Lopez and Simon Cowell, to comedy legends like Amy Poehler and the cast of Will & Grace and the many others who call NBC their home,” continued Greenblatt. “This roster is a testament to our incredible NBC programming presidents — Paul Telegdy, Lisa Katz and Tracey Pakosta — whose teams are on the front lines of the best programming in the world.”
Shows returning to the primetime lineup in midseason will include A.P. Bio, The Blacklist, and Good Girls. The network also plans to introduce new shows Abby’s, The Enemy Within, The Village, and The InBetween in midseason. Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which was cancelled at Fox, is also set to premiere on NBC in the midseason.
