NBC 2021-2022 Fall Schedule: This Is Us get 2022 Premiere, All Law & Order Thursday, Brooklyn Nine-Nine Gets After Olympic Premiere

 

On Friday, NBC was the first broadcast network to unveil its 2021-2022 game plan and there's something funny about it. There's no sitcom for the first time(?) on the network's fall schedule. But there's a resurgent of Law and Order.

The fall schedule will have a big Law& Order Thursday with Law & Order: For the Defense will kick off at 8pm, followed by SVU and Organized Crime. Dick Wolf now owns almost 30 percent of NBC's schedule!

Brooklyn Nine-Nine's 10-episode final season will premiere this summer following the summer Olympics.

The Voice will only air one cycle next season, in the fall. 

This Is Us's final season will premiere at midseason, but the delay contains a silver lining: All 18 episodes will air uninterrupted.

Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and Good Girls are MIA as the networks are still deciding and will make an announcement in the coming weeks. 

Here's the Fall Schedule:

MONDAY:

8/7c The Voice

10/9c Ordinary Joe (NEW)

TUESDAY

8/7c The Voice

9/8c La Brea (NEW)

10/9c New Amsterdam

WEDNESDAY

8/7c Chicago Med

9/8c Chicago FIre

10/9c Chicago PD

THURSDAY

8/7c Law & Order: For the Defense (NEW)

9/8c Law & Order SVU

10/9c Law & Order: Organized Crime

FRIDAY

8/7c The Blacklist

9/8c Dateline NBC

SATURDAY:

8/7c Drama Encores

9/8c Dateline Saturday night Mystery

10/9c SNL Encores

SUNDAY

7/6c Football Night in America

8/7c Sunday Night Football

Midseason: AGT: Extreme, American Auto, America Song Contest, Grand Crew, Kenan, Mr. Mayo, The Thing About Pam, This Is Us, Young Rock.

The fall schedule looks pretty good with the addition of For the Defense making Thursday night Law & Order night. It's kind of strange that there are no comedies in the fall. This Is Us final season holding back until midseason is a smart move and Brooklyn Nine-Nine gets the after Olympic premiere for its final season is another one too. 

I wonder if with AGT Extreme holding for midseason, will it take place of the second cycle of The Voice? That's something to see and it looks like they're going to take what American Idol has done for the past 20 years.
