LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: True crime has reached its all-time high popularity amongst audiences who are curious about the nitty-gritty of real crime stories. NBC 'Dateline' is perhaps one of the most well-known and widely watched true crime shows that investigates down to the very last detail of crimes that have happened all over the country. 

NBC is currently airing the Season 31 of the true crime show. New episodes have been airing every Friday on the network. However, this week we will be getting another rerun episode instead of a new one. 

Why is NBC's 'Dateline' Season 31 Episode 41 not airing this week?

The new episode number 41 was supposed to air Friday, July 7 after the rerun episode of the Jane Bashara murder case. But it seems like they have decided to do another rerun from Season 29 this week. The network has not released any statement regarding its decision to rerun older episodes and not telecast a new one. 

Previously, episode 40 was postponed as well in lieu of the US Open Second Round that took place at the Los Angeles Country Club. Instead of the new episode number 41, the 2023 US Open Golf Championship aired on the channel

When will NBC's 'Dateline' Season 31 Episode 41 release?

NBC's 'Dateline' Season 31 Episode 41 should ideally return after a week's gap. The new episode will release on Friday, July 14 at 8 pm ET on NBC.

What to expect from NBC's 'Dateline' Season 31 Episode 41?

As of yet, nothing has been released about the next new episode of Season 31 of NBC's 'Dateline'. The new episode has not shown any sign of appearing any time soon. 

The episode that will have a rerun on the network is titled "The Life She Wanted". The description on the official website says: "When a young mother is reported missing, detectives learn she was last seen being handcuffed and led into an unmarked car by a mysterious blonde woman." It will be covering the kidnapping and murder case of Sherri Dally and will be reported by Josh Mankiewicz from Ventura, California.
