I don’t know about you, but I like The Traitors on Peacock. I just don’t love that it is all reality stars.
I guess I am not alone because NBC picked up the competition show. But the key difference is that it is Average Joes who will be trying to figure out who The Traitors are, or they are The Traitors hiding their identity.
“‘The Traitors’ format has proven itself as one of the most gripping and talked-about reality competition shows in the world,” said Stephen Lambert, CEO of Studio Lambert, the producers of both the Peacock and NBC versions. “We’re thrilled to be working with NBC to open up the experience to a new group of civilian players, whose stories and strategies will make the gameplay even more unpredictable – and, we hope, even more addictive for viewers.”

NBC announced today when their shows will debut for the Fall schedule, and they made one huge change.
The Hunting Party, which was supposed to air on Thursdays at 10p, is being held until the midseason. Instead, Law & Order: Organized Crime, which moved to Peacock, is returning to NBC on Thursday nights, with repeats that originally aired on the streamer. Therefore, giving Dick Wolf two nights of broadcasting: One Chicago Wednesdays and Law & Order Thursdays.
The network is also doubling up on comedies. St. Denis Medical and Happy Place will air two episodes on their respective days, Mondays and Fridays. I am not sure if that is a good plan or not. What do you think?
What I do think is that NBC has the advantage over ABC and Fox because they are airing more scripted programming than the other two.
THE FALL PREMIERE DATES/TIMES ARE AS FOLLOWS (All times ET)
Even though NBC announced their 2025-2026 schedule in May, they had not made a decision about Grosse Pointe Garden Society. Today, they finally made a decision and killed the murder mystery.
Part of the reason the decision was delayed is that they were trying to see if it could be moved to Peacock. According to Deadline, the move was not cost-effective, so all of the questions from the season finale, including the confession, will go unanswered.
The show followed 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 cast included Melissa Fumero, Aja Naomi King, Ben Rappaport, AnnaSophia Robb, Matthew Davis, Alexander Hodge, Nancy Travis and Felix Wolfe.
Transplant is a medical drama where the lead doctor is a refugee from Syria. In the third season, he became a Canadian citizen. This season, which is also the last, he has to fight for a chance to become a permanent doctor at the hospital when his residency is over.
Tonight at 8p on NBC, Bashir (Hamza Haq), Mags (Laurence Leboeuf), and June (Ayisha Issa) have to work on a confused man and woman who were airlifted in after being found in the woods. The lower part of his leg was amputated, and she was unconscious. They need to find out what happened, but they aren’t really saying because they are out of it.
When the girl finally wakes up, she becomes violent and stabs Bashir. If that is not for them to deal with, Bashir and Mags will find out that only one of them will be hired.
Now, the two of them, who no longer heart each other, are going to compete for that job. Talking about hearts, Mags finds out she was accepted to the heart transplant list. Will she accept it?
At 9p, there is a second episode. Bashir risks his life once again to save a man who was swallowed up by a sinkhole. While Mags has to deal with an intern who won’t leave her alone.
Even if you haven’t watched the first three seasons, you can still watch Transplant because Canadians do a better job with medical shows than their neighbors down south.
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!
