NBC Announces Returns of Weakest Link and Transplant; Hulu Orders Musical Romantic Comedy Series
NBC has announced two of its new post NFL Sunday series. NBC's hit game show revival of Weakest Link will begin its second season on Sunday, March 6 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Weakest Link was NBC's #1 alternative series launch during the 2020-21 season in both the 18-49 demo and total viewers. In each episode of Weakest Link, hosted by Emmy Award winner Jane Lynch, eight contestants enter the studio as total strangers but must work together to bank the maximum amount of prize money available in each round. Then the second season of the acquired Canadian drama Transplant will debut Sunday, March 6 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. Transplant follows the story of Dr. Bashir "Bash" Hamed (Hamza Haq), a talented doctor and Syrian refugee, who fled his war-torn country with his younger sister, Amira (Sirena Gulamgaus), for a fresh start in Canada. NBC has not announced what will air at 8 p.m. just yet, but reruns of America's Got Talent: Extreme will air Sundays at 7 p.m.
Hulu has greenlit musical romantic comedy series, Up Here, from 20th Television and Old 320 Sycamore Productions. Hulu has ordered 8 episodes of this musical romantic comedy series. A musical romantic comedy set in New York City in the waning days of 1999, following the extraordinary story of one ordinary couple, as they fall in love – and discover that the single greatest obstacle to finding happiness together might just be themselves – and the treacherous world of memories, obsessions, fears, and fantasies that lives inside their heads. Original songs for the series by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Casting is currently underway; production scheduled for this summer in NY.
