NBC unveiled a fall prime-time lineup Sunday that includes three new series, two starring cast members of its acclaimed 1999-2006 White House drama “The West Wing.”
Two of the three series that premiered on NBC last fall will return for second seasons — the medical drama “New Amsterdam” and the mystery “Manifest.” The competition series “America’s Got Talent: The Champions,” which premiered in January, will also return for a second season.
The comedy “I Feel Bad,” which premiered in September, and the supernatural drama “Midnight, Texas,” which ran for two seasons, were canceled.
Decisions have not been made on the fates of the comedy “Abby’s,” the dramas “The Enemy Within” and “The Village” and the competition series “The Titan Games” which premiered at midseason, and the second-season comedy “A.P. Bio,” NBC announced.
The comedies “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and “Will & Grace” will begin their seasons at midseason, as will “Blindspot,” “Good Girls” and “Manifest.”
The new drama on NBC’s fall schedule is “Bluff City Law,” which stars “The West Wing” alumnus Jimmy Smits as the head of a celebrated Memphis law firm whose estranged daughter (Caitlin McGee) returns to work for it following her mother’s death.
The new comedies — both of which will air on Thursdays — are “Perfect Harmony” and “Sunnyside.”
“Perfect Harmony” stars another alumnus of “The West Wing,” Bradley Whitford, as a former Princeton University music professor who unexpectedly stumbles into choir practice at a small-town church and becomes its director.
NBC’s other new fall comedy is “Sunnyside” which stars Kal Penn as a fallen New York City councilman who is hired by a group of immigrants who believe he can help them become U.S. citizens.
NBC also announced it had renewed the acclaimed drama “This Is Us” for three seasons.
