NBC Reveals Fall Lineup: New Show Manifest Airs Monday, Brooklyn Nine-Nine to Midseason

NBC has announced their 2018 – 2019 season fall schedule ahead of tomorrow’s upfront presentation, with Brooklyn Nine-Nine held until midseason. The network announced the news on Sunday, less than a day before they make their full presentation to advertisers in New York.

The lineup remains largely stable, with the big anchors like The Voice and This Is Us staying pat in their Monday and Tuesday spots. The biggest changes include the move to put all three Chicago shows on one night, with Chicago Med moving to Wednesdays an 8 PM while Chicago Fire moves to the same night at 9 PM. Chicago P.D. is staying at its Wednesday 10 PM slot. In addition, The Blacklist is joining the saved Brooklyn Nine-Nine as a show being held for midseason. Blacklist will fill in the spot held by Midnight, Texas — itself moved from a summer series to a fall one — on Fridays after Blindspot.

As of now, no decision has been announced on Timeless, which aired its season finale on Sunday night, nor Champions.

The network’s new series for fall number at three. They are Manifest, a genre-rich mystery about an airplane flight which vanishes for five years and returns with the passengers only having experienced a few hours; New Amsterdam, a medical drama starring Blacklist alum Ryan Eggold; and I Feel Bad, a sitcom starring Sarayu Blue as a mother who is trying to navigate the hectic schedule of her life.

Manifest

When Montego Air Flight 828 landed safely after a turbulent but routine flight, the crew and passengers were relieved. Yet in the span of those few hours, the world had aged five years and their friends, families and colleagues, after mourning their loss, had given up hope and moved on. Now, faced with the impossible, they’re all given a second chance. But as their new realities become clear, a deeper mystery unfolds and some of the returned passengers soon realize they may be meant for something greater than they ever thought possible. From Robert Zemeckis and Jack Rapke comes an emotionally rich, unexpected journey into a world grounded in hope, heart and destiny.

The cast includes Melissa Roxburgh, Josh Dallas, Athena Karkanis, J.R. Ramirez, Luna Blaise, Jack Messina and Parveen Kaur.

Jeff Rake will write and executive produce. David Frankel will direct and executive produce the pilot. Robert Zemeckis and Jack Rapke also executive produce. “Manifest” is produced by Warner Bros. Television and Compari Entertainment.

New Amsterdam

Inspired by Bellevue, the oldest public hospital in America, this unique medical drama follows the brilliant and charming Dr. Max Goodwin, the institution’s newest medical director who sets out to tear up the bureaucracy and provide exceptional care. How can he help? Well, the doctors and staff have heard this before. Not taking “no” for an answer, Dr. Goodwin must disrupt the status quo and prove he will stop at nothing to breathe new life into this understaffed, underfunded and underappreciated hospital — the only one in the world capable of treating Ebola patients, prisoners from Rikers and the President of the United States under one roof — and return it to the glory that put it on the map.

The cast includes Ryan Eggold, Freema Agyeman, Janet Montgomery, Jocko Sims, Anupam Kher and Tyler Labine.

David Schulner will write and executive produce. Kate Dennis will direct and executive produce the pilot. Peter Horton also executive produces. Dr. Eric Manheimer will produce. “New Amsterdam” is produced by Universal Television, Pico Creek Productions and Mount Moriah.

I Feel Bad

Emet is the perfect mom, boss, wife, friend and daughter. OK, she’s not perfect. In fact, she’s just figuring it out like the rest of us. Sure, she feels bad when she has a sexy dream about someone other than her husband, or when she pretends not to know her kids when they misbehave in public, or when she uses her staff to help solve personal problems. But that’s OK, right? Nobody can have it all and do it perfectly. From executive producer Amy Poehler comes a modern comedy about being perfectly OK with being imperfect.

The cast includes Sarayu Blue, Paul Adelstein, Aisling Bea, Zach Cherry, Johnny Pemberton and James Buckley.

Aseem Batra will write and executive produce. Julie Anne Robinson will direct and executive produce the pilot. Amy Poehler, Dave Becky and Josh Maurer also executive produce. “I Feel Bad” is produced by Universal Television, Paper Kite Productions, CannyLads Productions and 3 Arts Entertainment.
