Following a wave of cancellations NBC has revealed its programming slate for the 2025/26 TV season, which is due to kick off in September 2025.

Mondays feature the return of the Zachary Quinto led medical drama Brilliant Minds, while Wednesdays see no change to the One Chicago programming block.

Thursdays are Law & Order night, with Law & Order, and Law & Order: SVU making way for The Hunting Party at 10 pm.

The slate is a trimmed down version of pervious years with fewer nights devoted to drama and comedy, and a lot more sports and unscripted offerings (e.g. new comedy series On Brand with Jimmy Fallon) than in previous years.

In a first in my almost 2 decades of covering TV, NBC has yet to reveal any new drama series for the new season.

On the comedy front, Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe are set to star in The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins. Executive produced by 30 Rock’s Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, the series focuses on a disgraced former football player (Morgan), who is on a mission to rehabilitate his image.  

Two further comedies — Stumble from Jeff and Liz Astrof (Trial & Error), and an untitled project from Sierra Teller Ornelas (Superstore, Brooklyn Nine-Nine) — are in contention to be picked up to series, but are as yet unconfirmed.

Meanwhile, Happy’s Place and St. Denis Medical have been renewed for the 2025-26 season and will appear on the schedule in November 2025.
