NBC Announces Programming for the 2020/2021 Season, including ‘Law & Order: Organized Crime’
NBC has announced its plan for the 2020-2021 season, with programming to include several returning favorites.
One Chicago Wednesday remains intact, with Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D. all returning for new seasons in the Fall. New Amsterdam, This is Us, Law & Order: SVU, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Superstore are also among the returning shows. Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist and Good Girls will return later in the season.
The Fall schedule also includes one new drama series: Law & Order: Organized Crime, which will feature Christopher Meloni reprising his role as Elliot Stabler.
Here are the returning shows for the 2020-21 season: The Blacklist, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, Chicago P.D., Dateline NBC, Ellen’s Game of Games, Good Girls, Law & Order: SVU, Making It, Manifest, NBC Sunday Night Football, New Amsterdam, Superstore, This Is Us, The Voice, and Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist.
Additional previously announced new series include Kenan, Mr. Mayor, Small Fortune, That’s My Jam, Transplant, True Story, Who Do You Think You Are?, and Young Rock.
“Thanks to the ingenuity of our creative teams and our partner studios, NBC has assembled a remarkably stable schedule at a time when stability is called for,” said Paul Telegdy, Chairman, NBC Entertainment. “With the reopening of the Universal lot for select productions this week, we are confident that our schedule will premiere intact later this fall. We design shows for longevity and this schedule remains a powerful propulsive force for shows to start here and carry on entertaining across generations.”
Telegdy continued, “Our brand has always championed positive programming, and the events of this year have allowed us the time to take pause, examine our business with a new lens and take some immediate action. Since many of our writers’ rooms have not yet opened, we are taking this opportunity to offer all of this season’s showrunners the chance to enrich their team with an additional diverse writer at any level. It is not the solution by any means, but it is something we can do right now to take a positive step.”
