NOTES: NBC unveils its 2025 fall schedule highlighting stability for its fan-favorite franchise dramas, huge unscripted hits, the biggest and best live specials and holiday programming, and the celebrated return of the NBA.

On the comedy front, Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe will star in The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins. Executive produced by 30 Rock creators Tina Fey and Robert Carlock and written by Carlock and Sam Means (30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), the series focuses on a disgraced former football player (Morgan), who is on a mission to rehabilitate his image.

As part of NBC’s rolling development cycle, the network is looking to continue to strengthen its comedy pipeline with the pilots Stumble, from Jeff and Liz Astrof (Trial & Error), and an untitled project from Sierra Teller Ornelas (Superstore, Brooklyn Nine-Nine). With NBC’s 52-week scheduling strategy, these pilots – if picked up to series – could air in the 2025-26 season.

NBC strengthened its comedy lineup last season with two new series – Happy's Place and St. Denis Medical – that have been renewed for the 2025-26 season. Combined, the series reached nearly 52 million viewers across linear and digital platforms in their freshman seasons. Both these shows will help serve as launchpads for new comedy series with St. Denis Medical starting its second season on Mondays in November and Happy's Place beginning season two on Fridays.

On Brand with Jimmy Fallon arrives on the fall schedule as the newest unscripted offering. The Tonight Show host will star in a highly addictive competition series in which he starts a premier marketing agency and fills it with the most creative, clever and competitive go-getters he can find.

Also coming this season is Surviving Earth, an incredible look back to see not only how life survived cataclysmic events on our planet, but managed to thrive. The eight-episode special event series will take an incredible journey into prehistory to learn the lessons from past mass extinctions.

Across the entire television landscape, NBC is the uncontested leader in delivering family favorite holiday specials and live events. The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade returns to the streets of New York on Nov. 27, coming off its 2024 edition where it delivered its biggest audience ever and the most watched entertainment telecast in five years.

Also back are many annual favorites, including The National Dog Show Presented by Purina, Christmas in Rockefeller Center and animated classics such as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman and The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

NOTES: FOX today unveils its content slate for the 2025-2026 television season to the national advertising community during its in-person Upfront Presentation at the Manhattan Center. FOX ranked #1 this season among the coveted Adults 18-49 and is the only network among the 4-Nets up year-over-year in the demo. The network is adding six new series to its schedule, including a new one-hour comedy, a new dramatic thriller, an epic new scripted event series and three new unscripted competition series, as well as the return of an Animation Domination favorite. Spanning scripted, unscripted and animation, the media company continues to increase program ownership from in-house business units under the FOX Entertainment Studios banner.

Returning FOX series include dramas Doc (Season Two), and Murder in a Small Town (Season Two); comedies Animal Control (Season Four) and Going Dutch (Season Two); animated series Bob's Burgers (Season 16), Family Guy (Season 24), Grimsburg (Season Three), Krapopolis (Season Three), Universal Basic Guys (Season Two) and The Simpsons (Season 37); and unscripted series Beat Shazam (Season Eight), Don't Forget The Lyrics! (Season Four), Extracted (Season Two), The Floor (Season Four), Hell's Kitchen (Season 24), Kitchen Nightmares (Season Three), LEGO Masters (Season Six), The Masked Singer (Season 14), Name That Tune (Season Five), Next Level Chef (Season Five) and Special Forces: World's Toughest Test (Season Four). Additional series renewals to be announced.

All-new drama Memory of a Killer and brand-new event series The Faithful join returning hit dramas Doc and Murder in a Small Town.

All-new one-hour comedy Best Medicine joins half-hour comedies Going Dutch, starring Denis Leary and Animal Control, starring Joel McHale. Starring multiple Emmy Award nominee Josh Charles (The Handmaid's Tale, The Good Wife, Sports Night, Dead Poets Society), Best Medicine is a charmingly complicated one-hour comedy based on the critically acclaimed and beloved global hit Doc Martin. The series centers on Martin Best (Charles), a brilliant surgeon who abruptly leaves his illustrious career in Boston to become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village where he spent summers as a child. Unfortunately, Martin’s blunt and borderline rude bedside manner rubs the quirky, needy locals the wrong way, and he quickly alienates the town, even though he's all they've got. Although Martin can expertly address any medical ailment or mystery in this idiosyncratic town, he’s really just desperate to be left the hell alone. Instead, he keeps getting dragged right smack into the middle of their personal chaos, feuds and fantasies. What the locals don’t know is that Martin’s terse demeanor masks a debilitating new phobia and deep-seated psychological issues that prevent him from experiencing true intimacy with anyone. But tenacity is the creed of everyone in their small village, and the people who live there may be exactly what the doctor ordered. Wholly owned by FOX Entertainment, the series comes from executive producers Ben Silverman (The Office, U.S.), Rodney Ferrell (Stick), Howard T. Owens (Stick), Liz Tuccillo (Sex and the City), Mark Crowdy (Doc Martin) and Philippa Braithwaite (Doc Martin). Based on All3Media International’s successful format Doc Martin, which was produced originally in the UK by Buffalo Pictures in association with Homerun Film Productions, and brought to American audiences by Propagate Content.

Animated comedies Bob's Burgers, Family Guy, Grimsburg, Krapopolis, Universal Basic Guys and The Simpsons return. Plus, Seth MacFarlane's American Dad! comes back to FOX with all-new episodes in 2026.

All-new unscripted series 99 to Beat and Gordon Ramsay's four-hour event series, Next Level Baker, join returning unscripted favorites Beat Shazam, Don't Forget The Lyrics!, Extracted, The Floor, Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, LEGO Masters, The Masked Singer, Name That Tune, Next Level Chef and Special Forces: World's Toughest Test. Additionally, reinventions of hugely popular fan-favorites The Weakest Link and Fear Factor make their debuts on FOX.
