NBC Winter 2024 Schedule; Netflix Renews Rob Lowe Comedy

NBC heads into 2024 with the launch of new comedy Extended Family, the premieres of unscripted series Deal or No Deal Island and America's Got Talent: Fantasy League and the highly awaited return of the immensely popular Dick Wolf universe - Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU and Law & Order: Organized Crime.

Before flipping the calendar to 2024, NBC will premiere its new Jon Cryer comedy Extended Family on Saturday, Dec. 23 at 8 p.m., immediately after the highly contested NFL game between Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. Following Extended Family, court returns to session with a special holiday episode of Night Court at 8:30 p.m. New Year's Day marks the premiere of the new unscripted series America's Got Talent: Fantasy League. The next day, Tuesday, Jan. 2, both Night Court and Extended Family will settle into their normal 8 and 8:30 p.m. timeslots, respectively. The third and final season of La Brea goes back to the prehistoric age on Tuesday, Jan. 9 at 9 p.m. and serves as a lead-in to the season's final two episodes of the hit fall drama Found.

Briefcases are opened and lives are changed as the iconic game show Deal or No Deal goes tropical. Hosted by Magic Mike and True Blood star Joe Manganiello, Deal or No Deal Island features 13 players competing for huge amounts of cash in a season-long, fully immersive competition. The series will premiere with a 90-minute special at 9:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 26 before moving to its regularly scheduled timeslot on Monday, March 4 at 10 p.m. To the excitement of its immense fan base, #OneChicago, returns Wednesday, Jan. 17. Chicago Med will lead off at 8 p.m., followed by Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D.. The following night on Thursday, Jan. 18, Dick's Wolf's other powerhouse franchise is back as well. Law & Order starts it off at 8 p.m., following by the 25th season of Law & Order: SVU and concluding with Law & Order: Organized Crime. The Irrational will resume with the final four episodes of its first season beginning Monday, Jan. 29 at 10 p.m.

The Voice returns Monday, Feb. 26 at 8 p.m. for its season premiere featuring three-time Grammy Award winner Dan + Shay as the show's first-ever coaching duo. Also returning to the swiveling red chairs are Reba McEntire, John Legend and Chance the Rapper. In addition to their curated linear timeslots, all shows will be available to stream next day on Peacock. Previously announced shows that have yet to be dated include the remaining episodes of this season's Quantum Leap and Magnum P.I. as well as Lopez vs. Lopez, The Weakest Link, Password, That's My Jam and The Wall.

Unstable

Netflix has renewed Unstable for a second season from creators Rob Lowe, John Owen Lowe and Victor Fresco. Andrew Gurland (Married, Platonic) joins Season 2 as Executive Producer and Showrunner. Cast: Rob Lowe, John Owen Lowe, Sian Clifford, Rachel Marsh, Emma Ferreira and Aaron Branch. Production on the eight-episode season is slated to begin in Los Angeles later this month. In the comedy, Ellis Dragon is a universally admired, eccentric, narcissist-adjacent biotech entrepreneur working to make the world a better place. He's also in emotional free-fall. His son Jackson Dragon is... none of those things. Can Jackson save Ellis and his company and salvage their estranged relationship while also doing what may actually be impossible: escaping the shadow of his larger-than-life father?
