2018-2019 Midseason Schedule: NBC

UPDATED JANUARY 28

Monday

8:00 - America's Got Talent: The Champions (NEW - Beginning January 7)
8:00 - The Voice (Beginning February 25)
10:00 - Manifest
10:00 - The Enemy Within (NEW - Beginning February 25)

America's Got Talent: The Champions is actually not what you would assume from the title (the past winners coming back), but rather a new competition from the international iterations of Got Talent. It airs while The Voice is between cycles, followed by the moderately successful freshman Manifest, which got a full-season order of 16 episodes last month. Freshman The Enemy Within airs behind the spring cycle of The Voice thereafter.

Tuesday

8:00 - Ellen's Game of Games (Beginning January 8)
8:00 - The Voice (Beginning April 23)
9:00 - This Is Us
9:00 - The Village (NEW - Beginning April 2)
10:00 - New Amsterdam
10:00 - The Village (NEW - March 12, 19, 26)

Last year's hit game show hosted by Ellen DeGeneres returns for a second season twice as long as its first, airing in The Voice recap's slot through April. This Is Us will again wrap its season early, with freshman The Village taking over in early April following three airings behind This Is Us. Freshman New Amsterdam received a 22-episode order last month.

Wednesday

Unchanged


Thursday

8:00 - The Titan Games (NEW - Beginning January 3)
8:00 - Superstore (Beginning March 7)
8:30 - A.P. Bio (Beginning March 7)
9:00 - Brooklyn Nine-Nine (Beginning January 10)
9:30 - The Good Place (New Timeslot - Beginning January 10)
9:30 - Will & Grace (New Timeslot - Beginning January 31)
9:30 - Abby's (NEW - Beginning March 28)
10:00 - Law & Order: SVU

Thursdays get a near-complete overhaul with the premiere of the Dwayne Johnson-hosted game show The Titan Games bumping the 8:00 comedies through the end of February sweeps. The Good Place will move from its 8:30 slot to 9:30 for its final three episodes, following Fox transplant Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which takes over the 9:00 anchor position from Will & Grace. Once The Good Place's third season finishes, Will & Grace returns and shifts back to 9:30. Then newbie Abby's takes over.

Friday

8:00 - Blindspot
9:00 - The Blacklist (New Timeslot - Beginning January 4)
10:00 - Dateline

Midnight, Texas completes airing its second season at the end of December, allowing the sixth season of The Blacklist to take over. As I said back in May, the pairing of Blindspot and The Blacklist will probably work well, and with both shows struggling in ratings, Friday makes the most sense as the night to place them. And with The Blacklist premiering so late in the season, it should air its 22 episodes uninterrupted.

Sunday

8:00 - World of Dance (Beginning March 3)
10:00 - Good Girls (New Timeslot)

World of Dance returns with a special one-hour presentation on February 26 before expanding to two hours on March 3 ahead of the premiere of Good Girls' second season.

Still unannounced is a date for freshman drama The InBetween, which seems likely to be pushed to summer at this point.
