Wicked was the most talked-about movie of 2024, and the sequel is just as anticipated! So NBC is cashing in on that in November before Wicked: For Good flies into movie theaters on its broomstick on November 21st.
In November, NBC will be airing a live concert special featuring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, along with guest stars, singing the show-stopping numbers from the first movie, and previewing some from the second film.
Director John M. Chu made the announcement today at NBC’s Upfront presentation in New York City.
Wicked is streaming on Peacock with an optional sing-along version!
NBC announced their schedule for next season, and they are making a lot of changes. I can’t say I agree with their decisions. However, that is because I have tried to watch Brilliant Minds, Hunting Party, and St. Denis Medical (which will be back in November with Happy’s Place) several times, and never finished any of their first episodes.
NBC has finally made a decision on a lot of its scripted series, and it was not good news. They cancelled Found, The Irrational, Lopez vs Lopez, Night Court, and Suits: LA.
While I understand why they did what they did, it does not mean I have to agree with it. However, after thinking about it, I can understand why they did what they did.
Night Court was more about the lawyers than the cases, and that is what made the original so funny. Plus, Melissa Rauch tried too hard, and that made her unlikable in the role.
Then, there is Suits: LA, and they turned Stephen Amell into Gabriel Macht, and not his own character. Plus, I can’t be the only person who hated the time jumps.
However, I am really upset about Lopez vs Lopez, but I know that Brice Gonzalez is going to be a star! That kid is pure cuteness!
Canadian medical drama Transplant’s fourth and final season gets a premiere date on NBC, and it is Thursday, May 22nd.
The final 10 episodes find Bashir “Bash” Hamed on the precipice of finishing his residency at York Memorial and officially requalifying as a doctor. With his future uncertain once again, Bash and his sister, Amira, are Canadian citizens now, but are still trying, with everything they have, to build a life in their adopted country.
That trailer makes it look like it is going to be another exciting and emotional season.
Grosse Pointe Garden Society has been growing an audience like weeds, so NBC is moving the Nighttime Soap from Sundays at 10p to Fridays at 8p starting on April 4th. The show will be taking over Happy’s Place time slot, which airs its season finale on Friday.
Grosse Pointe Garden Society follows four members of a suburban garden club who find their lives intertwined by scandal, mischief, and a shared secret – a murder no one wants to talk about. As dark truths begin to rot their lives under the surface, they struggle to remain as perfect as the flowers blooming in their garden above.
The Dramedy has turned out to be a lot of fun to watch, so it will be nice to see it budding into a beautiful rose. If you haven’t seen it, you can watch the first four episodes on Peacock.
On the NBC/Peacock note. Law & Order: Organized Crime, which moved to the streaming service this season, will debut on Peacock and NBC on April 17th. The season premiere is a crossover event with Law & Order: SVU.
A mysterious phone call to Capt. Benson of the SVU leads detectives to the scene of a brutal murder. When the SVU and the 2-7 uncover a pattern of rape and murder targeting marginalized women, Carisi and ADA Price team up to charge the suspect with multiple crimes.
While NBC will only be airing one episode on that day, Peacock will be streaming two.
