NBC Pushes HEARTBREAKER to Midseason, Moves CHICAGO MED to Fall

NBC has made a shift in its 2015-2016 schedule.

The new medical drama, HEARTBREAKER, will be pushed to midseason so production can accommodate series star Melissa George’s pregnancy. The CHICAGO FIRE spinoff, CHICAGO MED, will now be bumped up to HEARTBREAKERS’ intended post-VOICE slot (Tuesdays at 9 PM).

The new move will pair both CHICAGO shows together comes FIRE’s November launch. (A Neil Patrick Harris variety show will air Tuesdays at 10 for the first couple of months of the season.)

NBC Announces 2015-2016 Schedule

NBC is going drama/reality-heavy for its fall 2015 lineup, with only one hour of comedy scheduled in the entire week.

“We’re attacking the new season with the same programming strategy that successfully turned NBC around — a slate of provocative and innovative series and events that cut through the clutter and will continue to build on our momentum,” said Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, NBC Entertainment in a statement. “We have several powerful new dramas and attention-getting new comedies, including the return of ‘Undateable,’ which will be broadcast live every week next season. Live programming is one more way to make a show undeniable.”

“We can’t wait for the fall season and the chance to roll out our lineup of distinctive, innovative new dramas and comedies, scheduled with the kind of lead-in support that will give each of our new shows the optimum chance to find their audiences and deliver on their outstanding potential,” said Jennifer Salke, President, NBC Entertainment. “The fall lineup gives you only half the story. We truly program on a 52-week basis and are putting virtually the same amount of programming muscle behind our mid-season lineup, with some of the most high-profile concepts and biggest names on television joining the schedule starting at midseason and extending throughout the remainder of the broadcast year.”

“Unscripted programming has played a key role in NBC’s two consecutive season-long wins, from ‘The Voice’ to ‘America’s Got Talent’ to ‘American Ninja Warrior,’” said Paul Telegdy, President, Alternative and Late Night Programming, NBC Entertainment. “We’re excited to build on that momentum with some of the most inventive breakthrough alternative concepts coming in the new season, including ‘First Dates,’ ‘Little Big Shots’ and ‘Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris,’ featuring one of America’s most phenomenal performing talents hosting the U.S. adaptation of a smash-hit British series.”

Here’s the full NBC fall schedule, which includes BLINDSPOT getting the post-VOICE Monday slot, and HEROES REBORN kicking off Thursdays… Read more

Watch the Pilot for NBC’s A TO Z Now!

The upcoming television season is very hit-or-miss in terms of new comedies, but one of the very best is available for viewers to watch now: NBC has teamed up with iHeartRadio to debut their new series A TO Z exclusively online starting today. (And the online version of the pilot will include 90 seconds that won’t be featured in the broadcast premiere.)

“NBC is very excited to partner with Clear Channel on this first-ever digital opportunity that will give viewers and audiences a chance to fall in love early with A TO Z,” said Len Fogge, President, Marketing and Digital, NBC Entertainment in a statement. “Viewers today love to customize their viewing experience – deciding not only what to watch, but when and how – and we couldn’t imagine a more fitting project than A TO Z to debut in this innovative way.”

A TO Z follows a young duo Andrew (Ben Feldman) and Zelda (Cristin Milioti) through all the ups and downs of their burgeoning relationship. (I hesitate to say too much about the pilot in order to avoid ruining it, but needless to say, it’s not as simple as it seems.)

Curious about the pilot? Watch it now!

CONSTANTINE: The Producers Talk About Lucy Griffiths’ Exit, Casting Angélica Celaya as Zed

CONSTANTINE underwent a bit of a shakeup this past week when it was revealed that Lucy Griffiths (Liv) was exiting the NBC series and the search was on for a new female lead.

During the show’s Television Critics Association press tour panel, CONSTANTINE executive producer Daniel Cerone admitted the character simply didn’t work when they sat down to plan their season-long arc for the show.

“Pilots are great because they’re a bit of a litmus test and you get to see what works and what doesn’t,” Cerone told reporters during the panel. “Liv is a great character, she’s very wide-eye, she’s very reactive…we felt a bit hamstrung by her [limits], frankly.”
