NBC Fall 2022 Premiere Dates; Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell Head to The Real Love Boat
NBC will begin its 2022-23 season with Sunday Night Football, on Thursday, Sept. 8. On the heels of the NFL kickoff, season two of Capital One College Bowl, hosted by Peyton Manning, will debut the following night with back-to-back episodes from 8-10pm before settling into the 8pm hour for early fall. Dateline NBC will air on Fridays from 9-11pm with the season premiere on Sept. 16. The Sunday premiere of Sunday Night Football will be on Sept. 11. Scripted programming will launch the week of Sept. 19 and will include the premiere of the reimagined Quantum Leap, starring Raymond Lee, on Mondays at 10pm, along with other dramas such as New Amsterdam, Chicagos and Law & Orders. Last season's drama La Brea will return on Tuesday, Sept. 27 at 9pm. The Voice will air on two nights as usual starting Monday, Sept. 19. On Friday, Nov. 4, family comedies join the Friday 8-9pm lineup with the premiere of Lopez vs. Lopez, starring and executive produced by George Lopez, followed by the third season of Young Rock, starring and executive produced by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
CBS announced Rebecca Romijn (Paramount+' Star Trek: Strange New Worlds) and Jerry O'Connell (CBS' The Talk) as co-hosts of The Real Love Boat. The husband-and-wife team will take the helm guiding viewers through the dating adventure series inspired by The Love Boat, the hit scripted series in the '70s that used Princess Cruises ships as its setting. The series sets sail Wednesday, Oct. 5 (9:00-10:00 PM, PT/ET), following Survivor (8:00 PM PT/ET) and leading into The Amazing Race (10:00 PM, PT), to create the Network's all-reality night.
The series brings singles together to sail the Mediterranean on a luxury cruise ship while looking for love. Destination dates, challenges and surprise singles will test the couples' compatibility and chemistry. Like the beloved original scripted series, the indispensable crew members, including captain and cruise director, will play pivotal roles in the matchmaking and navigation of the romantic (and sometimes turbulent) waters ahead. After nearly one month at sea, one winning couple will dock in the final port and take home a cash prize plus a once-in-a-lifetime trip courtesy of Princess Cruises, the series' exclusive cruise line partner.
