NBC 2022 Fall Schedule: La Brea Takes This Is Us Time slot, The Blacklist Moved to Midseason

 


On Monday, NBC released their 2022 fall schedule as May Upfronts begin this week. The 2021-2022 top-rated freshman series, La Brea, will take over the Tuesdays at 9pm timeslot (which has been the home of This Is Us for the past six years).

The most significant buzz for any new NBC series, the Quantum Leap reboot starring Raymond Lee, has landed the network's most prominent real estate, Mondays at 10/9c leading out of The Voice. While the Night Court revival, which stars John Larroquette and Big Bang Theory alum Melissa Rauch, and has been ordered to series back in September, won't make its debut until midseason.

Meanwhile, Young Rock will be moving to Fridays for its third season, starting in Movember, where it will be paired with the new George Lopez sitcom, Lopez vs. Lopez. This will make The Blacklist's 10th season premiere held back to midseason.

Here's a look at the schedule:

MONDAY:

8/7c The Voice

10/9c Quantum Leap

TUESDAY

8/7c The Voice

9/8c La Brea

10/9c New Amsterdam (final season)

WEDNESDAY

THURSDAY

10/9 Law & Order Organized Crime

FRIDAY

SUNDAY

8/7c Sunday Night Football

MIDSEASON:

The Blacklist, American Auto, Grand Crew, Night Court (NEW). The Wheel (NEW), Million Dollar Island (NEW), That's My Jame, The Wall, and Dick Wolf's LA Fire and Rescue (NEW Reality Series about the LAFD).

TBD on the fate of the pilots for Blank Slate, Found, Irrational, Unbroken, and the untitled drama from Mike Daniels.

CANCELLED:

The Endgame, Kenan, Mr. Mayor, Ordinary Joe


While NBC has made some changes, mainly bringing back comedy in late fall. But I do wish that network could have renewed Mr. Mayor.

 We'll see how La Brea can be when moving to Tuesdays and wonder if it will keep close to what the ratings would be in the first season. 

And what the heck happened with some of the competition shows like AGT Extreme or Family Game Night? Was it renewed or put on hold until something goes wrong with the new series? 

Overall, this first look fall schedule looks good. I look forward to seeing what the reboot of Quantum Leap will bring.

The Blacklist Renewed For Season 9

 


Rest at easy Blocklist fans, as Raymond Reddington isn't done yet.

On Tuesday, NBC has announced that they've renewed The Blacklist for a ninth season. 

The number ratings for the first three episodes have averaged 3.5 million and a 0.4 demo rating, which was down 19 and 28 percent from its seventh season average. But NBC reports that the first two episodes combined a 1.2 demo rating with the DVR payback and such factors. 

Last week's winter premiere saw Liz attempting to kill Reddington for killing her mother. But Liz's plan didn't go so well, but her relationship with the FBI task force became damaged. This week's episode will have Liz on the top of the Blacklist while Red's health has taken a serious turn.

"Liz and Red are going to wat," executive producer John Eisendrath told TVLive after Liz's mother's murder. "The death of Katarina makes Liz more resolute than ever about getting answers to questions she's been asking for seven years. She's willing to burn every bridge and cross every line in search of the truth. Her solution, plus all she's learned from Red over the years about thinking like a criminal, makes her one of Red's most formidable adversaries." 

Oh man, I'm celebrating tonight with red wine with this news. After seeing the single-day ratings for the last three episodes, I was worried, but I know that The Blacklist fans love this show and the DVR and downloads and streaming help the show stay alive. 

I have loved this season so much. The first two episodes could have been a two-hour movie to set up season eight and last week's episode had me moving around as it was so intense. 

Excited about the news? Leave a comment below!

The Blacklist airs Fridays at 8/7c on NBC.

In the season premiere, Red directs the Task Force to investigate Roanoke, a legendary criminal who orchestrates elaborate extractions. Meanwhile, Liz works to hatch a secret plan with her mother, Katarina Rostova (guest star Laila Robins).

Still the Best Drama: The Blacklist Season 6-7 Review

The Blacklist episode 13, season 7 Every details you need to know ...



Season 6

After the shocking moment in the fifth season finale, the sixth season took off with exciting thrills and drama that pushed the level of Liz and Red's relationship. As Liz knows that her father, Raymond Reddington is dead and someone is impersonating Reddington, she betrayed him by setting him up to get arrested.

Throughout the season, as Reddington's trial goes underway, Liz has a change of heart with Reddington as she learns the truth about what really had happened between him and her mother. Soon as Red is free, both Red and the task force are put against the United States of America President and his staff, the way that Red and the team helped get Liz out of custody against the Director back in season three.

The season ended well enough to have a cliffhanger of Reddington meeting with Liz's mother, who kidnaps Reddington at the end.

Season Six was one of the best seasons so far in the series. The season elevated to another level with brilliant wiring, character development, and performances from the cast. While Season three and five were the top two best seasons of the series, this one ranks right along with them. Overall, I give this season a 9.5/10.

Season 7

The Seventh Season of The Blacklist was as good as it could have gotten. The season saw Liz learning of her mother, who happened to be staying across the hall from her. Liz is divided between Red and her mother on who is telling the truth. Still, with Red not telling what she needs to know, she leans more towards her mother by the end of the season as she finally embraces the evil power that she's been feeling this season during the season finale.

This season we saw Ressler's backstory dealing with his brother, who helped him get rid of a dead body of a cop that had killed their dad twenty years ago. And the team takes on a new team member, Aliana Park, who has a history with Reddington and is not the good one.

The seventh season of The Blacklist has proven that it's not running out of gas. The show still brings the best out of these characters. Week to week, episode after episode, the series still shows it's got teeth, and there are times when shows do show that they're running out of gas. Brilliant writing and character development, along with another season of great performances from the cast, mostly Megan Boone, who's given such a strong performance this season. Al Roker deserves an Emmy nomination for his guest-starring role this season in the 150th episode. Overall, I give this season of The Blacklist a 9.5/10.

You can catch The Blacklist available now on the NBC app. NBC.com and Netflix.

The Blacklist Renewed for Season 8

Image result for the blacklist season 7



It looks like The Blacklist will have more names to cross off its list.

On Thursday, TVLine has learned that the NBC drama has been renewed for Season 8.

"Congratulations to our incredible cast, producers, and crew, all of whom continue to reach excellence week in a week out," Lisa Katz and Tracey Pakosta, Co-Presidents of Scripted Programming at NBC Entertainment, said in a statement. "WE couldn't be more excited to continue Red and Liz's story into Season 8."

The Blacklist, which debuted in September o 2013, stars James Spader as the wanted criminal Raymond Reddington and Megan Boone as FBI profile Li keen, with whom Red has a complicated personal relationship. Throughout Liz's search for answers about ed's real identity, Red has assisted the FBI with tracking down dangerous and elusive criminals. Diego Klattenhoff, Harry Lennix, Amir Arison and Hisham Tawfiq round out the main cast.

The show is currently in season seven, which will resume Friday, March 20th. In the December's fall finale, Liz's biological mother faked her own death and formed an unexpected alliance with Liz, which neither woman plans to reveal to Red when the show returns.

"At this point, (Li) thinks Katarina may offer her a greater chance of finding out the truth that it seems Red won't share with her," executive producer John Eisendrath told TVLive at the time." But she certainly is not fully trusting of Katarina at this point, so as the season goes on, there will be choices that she'll have to make whether to say aligned with her mother, or whether to be more sympathetic towards Red's point of view."

When the series will also welcome Nip/Tuck alum Joely Richardson for an "intense" season 7 episode, in which she'll play Red's former flame Cassandra Bianchi.

You can catch The Blacklist returning Friday, Mach 20th at 8/7c on NBC.
