Fall TV: NBC Premiere Dates for The Voice, Parks and Rec in London; Grimm Returns Late October

Friday might’ve been the first day of summer, but NBC was already thinking fall when it announced its premiere dates for the 2013-14 TV season.

The fun officially begins Monday, Sept. 23 with the two-hour premiere of The Voice — which welcomes back Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green — at 8/7c. 

James Spader’s new crime drama The Blacklist follows The Voice‘s return at 10.

The week that follows includes the return of favorites Chicago Fire, Law & Order: SVU and Parenthood and an hour-long, shot-in-London episode of Parks and Recreation on Sept. 26. (Michael J. Fox’s eponymous comedy has its double-episode debut immediately after.)

The Peacock Net is holding Grimm‘s Season 3 premiere until Friday, Oct. 25, when it will warm up the evening for the fangtastic new Dracula, starring Jonathan Ryhs Meyers (The Tudors).
