NBC Upfront/General News and Discussion: 2019-20 - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The premiere of new drama Council of Dads has been pushed back by two weeks. It will now launch on March 24 on the Tuesday-at-10-pm slot, and will move to Thursdays at 8 starting April 30. Superstore and Brooklyn Nine-Nine will have already finished their current seasons by that point. I think this is because of the vote of confidence NBC gave New Amsterdam by way of the three-season renewal in mid-January.

In addition, Brooklyn Nine-Nine's current seventh season has been reduced to 13 episodes.

NBC announces new finale dates for shows that cut short their seasons over coronavirus

Manifest, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist and Will & Grace already wrapped their seasons, so they're finale dates won't be changed. But Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, Chicago P.D., Law & Order: SVU, The Blacklist, Indebted and New Amsterdam will have earlier season finales after they were shut down over the coronavirus.

The fifth and final season of Blindspot will premiere on Thursday, April 30, at 10 pm. The following week (May 7), it will settle into its regular 9 pm timeslot.

Blindspot's farewell run was initially planned to launch in the Summer. The late-April launch date is because of the Coronavirus pandemic-induced mass production shutdown that left many shows' intended season finales unproduced. Blindspot had already wrapped production on its fifth and final season last November.

Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector is cancelled. Season 2 would have been nice, but at least everything was wrapped up with no cliffhanger. Perfect Harmony is also officially cancelled, we knew that was dead when no back order came. There is no word yet on Manifest or Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. Zoey will probably be their sole freshman renewal with the positive reviews it has gotten and nothing else doing well. Hopefully NBC is in negotiations with WB and is close to a renewal for Manifest, a multiple season renewal would be nice like they have done with other shows so we don't have to go through this next year again.
