NBC is planning on launching 4 new scripted shows in the upcoming 2026-2027 television season and we have details on all of them!
The network ordered eight pilots this year – five dramas and three comedies – and ultimately decided to move forward with half of them. Two dramas and two comedies are being greenlit for NBC’s TV schedule.
Something notable is how all eight of the pilots were shot in the U.S. during a time when most productions are heading overseas. Amid the downturn in projects filming in Los Angeles, three of them were shot in city on the Universal lot.
There have been many renewals and cancellations at NBC in 2026, but we’re looking forward to these four new shows.
