NBC Fall 2026 TV Schedule: From The Traitors: New Blood to Law & Order, All New and Returning Shows

The Traitors: New Blood is an “all-new civilian version” of the reality competition franchise. NBC notes that it is “both a throwback to Season 1 of The Traitors and a spinoff series that has its own twists.” However, both shows follow the same basic premise: “22 contestants enter Castle Ardross in Scotland having to work together in a series of missions to build up a prize fund worth up to $250,000.”

New Blood kicked off with a two-hour premiere on September 17, featuring Episodes 1 and 2. After airing a double episode on September 24 and taking a week off on October 1, the schedule is back on track, with new episodes dropping weekly on Thursdays. The spinoff is also off to a strong start, averaging 6 million total viewers per episode for its two-episode premiere across NBC, Peacock, and multiplatform delayed viewing.

Don’t get confused! Line of Fire is not related to Chicago Fire at all. In fact, it’s a new NBC original show that debuted on September 21. The political drama, starring Peter Krause and Hope Davis, “focuses on the personal lives and careers of the Hollingsworth family, each of whom work at a U.S. protective service agency.”

New episodes air weekly on Mondays on NBC and are available to stream on Peacock the next day. Notably, according to THR, NBC has ordered five additional scripts for the freshman drama following strong ratings over its first three episodes. This means Line of Fire could end up with 18 episodes in total, instead of its initial order of 13.

Newlyweds is a multi-camera comedy starring real-life couple Téa Leoni and Tim Daly. The show is described as a “later-in-life love story about a free-spirited woman and a buttoned-up professor who marry impetuously after a whirlwind courtship.” The drama is scheduled to debut on October 23, with new episodes releasing every Friday thereafter. Peacock subscribers will have to wait a little longer to stream the episodes, as each one will be available on the platform a day later.
