NBC had their presentation for the upcoming 2021-22 season for primetime projects today and that means renewals and cancellations. Here’s their newly announced planned schedule:
During a press call Friday morning unveiling the fall schedule, Frances Berwick, NBCU’s Chairman, Entertainment Networks, spoke of the company’s decision to “prioritize linear viewing” and shows “people tend to watch live”, “leaning to familiar things” in putting together NBC’s lineup.
What this means is that there are no comedies on the list. Something that has fallen away over the years on the network. What they do have is Brooklyn 99 which is getting launched from the Summer Olympics and they’re intending to launch comedies next year by building off the Winter Olympics and the Super Bowl.
The new comedies launching later are American Auto and Grand Crew.
