Instead of 'Dateline' Season 31's new episode, the 2023 US Open Golf Championship will air at 8 pm ET on NBC.

When will NBC's 'Dateline' Season 31 Episode 40 release?

What to expect from NBC's 'Dateline' Season 31 Episode 40?

It is expected that the upcoming episode will feature another crime story with an investigation and a detailed description of how the crime was solved. However, the specific synopsis of the episode has not been released yet. 

Episode 39 of Season 31, titled 'Bad Intentions', showcased the shocking murder of a district attorney and his wife in Kauffman, Texas.
