NBC’s Fall 2026 schedule is heading into one of its most balanced lineups in years. Apart from introducing a handful of intriguing new shows that might end up being the next breakout hits, the network is also doubling down on some of its biggest franchises.
Whether you are a fan of medical dramas, police procedurals, reality TV, or sitcoms, this fall schedule offers something for every viewer. Just like previous seasons, every NBC series here will also stream on Peacock the next day.
Without further ado, here’s a complete look at every major NBC series premiering this fall and what viewers can expect.
The Traitors: New Blood (New Series)
Series Premieres: Thursday, September 17
The Traitors: New Blood | Credits: NBCOne of the most interesting additions to NBC’s fall 2026 lineup is The Traitors: New Blood, a fresh expansion of the hugely successful reality competition franchise. This time, Alan Cumming will be hosting 22 Americans in a Scottish Highlands castle to compete in the cutthroat game of deceit and murder to win the grand prize of $250,000.
Building on the deception, strategy, and social gameplay that made the original series a global phenomenon, New Blood brings everyday people instead of celebrities and public figures. While the format remains the same, this installment may end up becoming one of Peacock’s most binge-worthy releases!
The Voice (Season 30)
Premieres: Monday, September 21
A still from The Voice | Credits: NBCIt is hard to believe, but The Voice has reached its landmark 30th season, which will premiere this fall. Over the past decade and a half, the singing reality competition has remained one of NBC’s most reliable performers.
As fans get ready to discover a whole new roster of talented vocalists, the season promises signature Blind Auditions, Battle Rounds, Knockouts, and live performances. The format remains familiar, but we can’t wait to see the chemistry between celebrity coaches and aspiring artists!
Line Of Fire (New Drama Series)
Series Premieres: Monday, September 21
Joining the NBC Fall 2026 Monday lineup is Line of Fire, which also happens to be one of the network’s most anticipated new dramas of the year. The series centers on a family of law enforcement agents as they navigate life-or-death situations while balancing complicated personal lives.
NBC has found considerable success with procedural dramas over the years, and Line of Fire looks poised to continue that tradition with cinematic production values and an ensemble cast built for long-term storytelling. A family drama but centered on protective services, well, that is a genre fans love!
Dateline NBC (Season 35)
Series Premieres: Friday, September 25
Dateline NBC | Credits: NBCVery few television programs have enjoyed the longevity of Dateline NBC. Now entering its 35th season, the investigative newsmagazine continues delivering in-depth reporting on headline-making crimes, exclusive interviews, and compelling true-crime investigations.

Having built one of the network’s strongest ensemble casts, fans have remained hooked to its action and personal relationships that have defined the show over the past decade. We expect to see the same consistent quality and answer the questions that Season 14 left us.
Chicago P.D. (Season 14)
Series Premieres: Wednesday, October 7
Chicago P.D. | Credits: NBCCompleting NBC’s Wednesday franchise block is Chicago P.D., now entering its 14th season. Part of the One Chicago universe, this police procedural drama is known for its comparatively darker tone and morally complex investigations.
As the intelligence unit picks up new investigations, the new season will follow up from the heavy fallout of Season 13. It is going to be an emotional season with severe consequences and shocking twists, along with the franchise’s signature blend of action.
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (Season 28)
Series Premieres: Thursday, October 8
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit | Credits: NBCOne of television’s longest-running primetime action dramas continues its remarkable run as the NBC Fall 2026 calendar approaches. Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is returning for its anticipated Season 28, with Captain Olivia Benson once again leading.
The series has consistently evolved with changing times while maintaining its commitment to victim-centered storytelling. Mariska Hargitay’s iconic performance remains the emotional anchor of one of NBC’s most enduring franchises.
Law & Order (Season 26)
Series Premieres: Thursday, October 8
Law & Order | Credits: NBCFollowing SVU, the flagship Law & Order returns for its 26th season. Continuing the classic two-part format, it follows detectives as they investigate high-profile crimes before prosecutors bring cases to trial.

Happy’s Place (Season 3)
Series Premieres: Friday, October 23
NBC’s comedy sitcom returns for a third season as Reba McEntire’s Bobbie tries to manage her late father’s restaurant while coming to terms with her newly found half-sister.

Newlyweds (New Series)
Series Premieres: Friday, October 23
Newlyweds | Credits: NBC / Instagram / @jamieleecurtisJoining Happy’s Place is NBC’s newest comedy, Newlyweds, as we approach the NBC Fall 2026 schedule. While not much has been revealed about it, the sitcom follows an older couple who get married on a whim, only to discover that joining their lives is not as easy as it seemed.
Their whirlwind romance ends up complicating things, but the series aims to deliver relatable comedy with plenty of heart. If successful, Newlyweds could become NBC’s next long-running Friday night comedy.

We expect the second season to follow suit and build upon Reggie’s continuing journey as he navigates professional setbacks, personal growth, and the challenges of rebuilding both his career and his relationships. The series has the potential to become another NBC comedy hit!
