NBC is expanding its lineup for the 2026-2027 television season with four brand-new scripted series including two dramas and two comedies. The newly announced shows feature star-packed ensembles led by some of television’s most recognizable faces, with familiar names audiences already know from hit series over the years.
“Our creative teams, led by Lisa Katz at NBC and Erin Underhill at Universal Television, delivered an exceptional pilot slate, developing eight standout projects that reflect our ambition,” said Pearlena Igbokwe, Chair of NBC Entertainment, Peacock Scripted and Television Studios “While we often hear the phrase embarrassment of riches, it truly applies in this case. This process allowed us to take big swings, and we landed on shows that we think can truly break through.”
Check out the lineup below.
Line of Fire – Premiering in Fall 2026
It’s been a year since Peter Krause departed 9-1-1, but fans will soon see him back on screen in an all-new drama series.
Per NBC, Line of Fire “will follow a family of law enforcement agents as they bridge personal differences and cross professional boundaries while tackling cases for the FBI, U.S. Marshals Service, Secret Service, and Department of Justice. After a seemingly cut-and-dry case turns into a deadly conspiracy, they must use the expertise from a lifetime of protecting civilians and politicians to protect one another and bring the killer to justice… even if it means betraying their sworn code.”
The cast also includes Hope Davis (Your Honor), Kat Cunning (On Swift Horses), Tommy O’Brien (Weird: The Al Yankovic Story), Taylor Bloom (American Horror Story), and Charlie Barnett (Russian Doll).
Newlyweds – Premiering in Fall 2026
Tim Daly and Téa Leoni, who previously starred together in the political drama series Madam Secretary (2014-2019), are reuniting on-screen once again. The real-life husband and wife will co-star in the upcoming comedy series Newlyweds. Jamie Lee Curtis (Scarpetta) will also appear in a recurring guest role.
The series is “is a later-in-life love story about a free-spirited woman and a buttoned-up professor who marry impetuously after a whirlwind courtship.”
The Rockford Files – Premiering in 2027
A new reimagining of the classic crime drama The Rockford Files is heading to NBC in 2027. The original series, which starred James Garner from 1974 to 1980, followed private investigator Jim Rockford as he solved cases while getting into trouble along the way. Now, Bones star David Boreanaz is stepping into the iconic role.
Michaela McManus (SEAL Team), Felix Solis (Ozark), and Jacki Weaver (Silver Linings Playbook) will also star. The synopsis reads, “Newly paroled after doing time for a crime he didn’t commit, James Rockford returns to his life as a private investigator, using his charm and wit to solve cases around Los Angeles. It doesn’t take long for his quest for legitimacy to land him squarely in the crosshairs of both local police and organized crime.”
Sunset P.I. – Premiering in 2027
New Girl star Jake Johnson is returning to the comedy TV world with the upcoming series Sunset P.I. Not much has been released about the show’s premise aside from this one logline: “This comedy continues the proud tradition of Los Angeles private eyes that began with Philip Marlowe.”
The cast will also include Jane Levy (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist), Langston Kerman (Bless this Mess), Mary Shalaby, and Keith David (Hazbin Hotel).
