NBC Reveals Fall Premiere Dates For #OneChicago, SVU And More — Plus, Organized Crime Returns!
NBC on Monday became the fourth broadcast network (following CBS, ABC and Fox) to unveil its Fall TV premiere dates.
The Voice will be the first to debut on Monday, Sept. 22, with coaches Michael Bublé, Reba McEntire, Niall Horan and Snoop Dogg, followed by the Season 2 premiere of the Zachary Quinto medical drama Brilliant Minds.
Then on Thursday, Sept. 25, the Law & Order franchise returns to action with Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU... and Law & Order: Organized Crime, with NBC airing the 10-episode Season 5 that wrapped up in June on Peacock. As a result, Season 2 of The Hunting Party, previously announced as airing this fall and busy moving production from Vancouver to New York City, shifts to midseason.
The #OneChicago trio of dramas returns Wednesday, Oct. 1, with Saturday Night Live kicking off its 51st season on Saturday, Oct. 4. Sophomore comedies Happy's Place and St. Denis Medical, meanwhile, will roll out new seasons in November, with both airing two episodes back-to-back. Plus, the NBA returns to NBC this fall, with primetime coverage tipping off on Tuesday, Oct. 21.
All told, NBC's primetime rollout looks like this:
