NBC fall 2021 schedule

The NBC schedule of this year is going to look a bit different. No comedies or This Is Us. The Law & Order franchise is going to get its own night, just like the Chicago franchise.

Three years after the Wednesday evening was deemed to be the Chicago evening, the Thursday will have its own theme as well. And for the first time since 2016, This Is Us can't be found in this schedule. The sixth season is going to air in the midseason pretty much uninterrupted.

NBC is planning to use the Summer Olympics to launch the final season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. This means that it'll air outside of the traditional broadcasting season. The sixth and final season of the series will consist of eighteen episodes. According to Frances Berwick, NBCU's president, Entertainment Networks and Susan Rovner (photo) and Entertainment Content, the comedy series will have a satisfying conclusion.

As for NBC’s decision not to have a single comedy on in the fall, Susan Rovner, NBCU’s Chairman, Entertainment Content, noted NBC’s “long history and legacy of comedy” and said that she and her team wanted to give NBC’s comedies “the best chance” for success by using the platforms of the Winter Olympics and the Super Bowl to launch them. That includes returning freshmen Young Rock, Kenan and Mr. Mayor as well as new entries American Auto and Grand Crew.
