9:00 - The Wall (New Timeslot - Beginning January 11)

10:00 - Debris (NEW - Premieres March 1)
An all-game-show lineup fills up Mondays, with a new season of The Voice likely to follow at some point later in the season. The Wall has been all over the schedule this season, from Thursdays to Wednesdays and now to Mondays; it gets a special premiere at 10:00, following a double-dose of Ellen, on January 4 before assuming its 9:00 timeslot the following week.
UPDATE: New drama Debris, which was ordered to series last June after its pilot filming was interrupted by COVID, assumes the Monday night slot in March. The Voice returns for its twentieth season the same night.
Tuesday
8:00 - Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (New Timeslot - Beginning January 5)
8:00 - Young Rock (NEW - Premieres February 16)

10:00 - New Amsterdam (Beginning March 2)
The Canadian import Nurses, which is filling in while New Amsterdam completes episodes, moves from Mondays, where it aired two episodes this fall, to follow This Is Us (which, like many dramas, aired less than a handful of episodes in the fall). Musical drama Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist shifts from Sundays to Tuesdays for its second season.
UPDATE: Zoey will take a bit of a hiatus following its sixth episode and return later in the season on Sundays. It makes way for two new comedies: Young Rock, based on Dwayne Johnson's childhood; and the perpetually-delayed Kenan. This Is Us rejoins the lineup on February 9 after another month-long break, and New Amsterdam's third season finally begins on March 2.

Debris - When wreckage from a destroyed alien spacecraft scatters across the Western Hemisphere, it soon becomes apparent the pieces are messing with the laws of physics, changing lives in ways we can't comprehend. Two agents from different continents, and different mindsets, are tasked to work together to recover the debris, whose mysteries humankind is not quite ready for.
Kenan - Kenan, a recently widowed host of Atlanta's #2 morning show, struggles to balance his job and his young daughters despite all the "help" he gets from his father-in-law and his brother/manager/house guest.
Law & Order: Organized Crime - Christopher Meloni, reprising his role as Elliot Stabler, returns to the NYPD to battle organized crime after a devastating personal loss. Stabler will aim to rebuild his life as part of a new elite task force that is taking apart the city's most powerful criminal syndicates one by one.
Young Rock - Young Rock focuses on different chapters of Dwayne Johnson's life. From growing up in a strong and resilient family, to being surrounded by the wild characters of his professional wrestling family, to playing football at the University of Miami, the show will explore the crazy rollercoaster that has shaped Dwayne into the man he is today and the larger-than-life characters he's met along the way.
