‘The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins’ Anchors NBC’s Midseason Lineup

NBC, the #1 network this season for both all programming and entertainment-only programming, has set premiere dates for both its new Tina Fey-produced comedy The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins as well as the return of the critically acclaimed drama The Hunting Party.

The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, from creators Robert Carlock and Sam Means, will debut with a one-hour premiere on Monday, Feb. 23 at 8 p.m. ET/PT before moving to its regular timeslot the following week on Monday, March 2 at 8:30 p.m.

All-new format The Voice: Battle of Champions begins that same night

Following the series premiere of The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins on Feb. 23 at 9 p.m., The Voice will begin its 29th season in what will be dubbed The Voice: Battle of Champions, marking a major revamp to the longstanding format and nodding to the powerhouse coaches who form the only panel in the show’s history comprised entirely of Voice winners.

For its first week of the new season, The Voice will air three two-hour telecasts on Feb. 23 (9 p.m.), 25 (8 p.m.), and 26 (8 p.m.). Beginning March 2 (and after a March 5 telecast), The Voice will air in its normal 9 p.m. timeslot and be followed by Brilliant Minds at 10 p.m.

An iconic coaching panel will be featured as fan favorites Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, and Adam Levine reclaim their red chairs. The landmark season will be infused with fast-paced, competitive elements, delivering a fresh twist on the format that raises the stakes for coaches and artists alike.

In its current season, The Voice has reached more than 27 million total viewers so far this season across all platforms.

Riveting drama The Hunting Party comes back Jan. 8

Back for its highly anticipated sophomore season, the riveting drama The Hunting Party returns to NBC on Thursday, Jan. 8 at 10 p.m.

The Milan Cortina Winter Olympic Games begin with the Opening Ceremony on Feb. 6 and conclude with the Closing Ceremony on Feb. 22.

About The Hunting Party

The Hunting Party is a high-concept crime procedural about a small team of investigators – led by former FBI profiler Rebecca “Bex” Henderson – who are assembled to track down and capture the most dangerous killers the world has ever seen, all of whom have just escaped from “The Pit,” a top-secret government prison that’s not supposed to exist. But as Bex races to catch these killers before it’s too late, she’ll discover that the one thing more twisted than the escapees she’s chasing is the prison that they just escaped from… because the Pit wasn’t just a prison.

The cast includes Melissa Roxburgh, Nick Wechsler, Patrick Sabongui, Josh McKenzie, and Sara Garcia.

The Hunting Party is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.

About The Wall

The Wall is an action-packed game with more than $12 million on the line each night and up to $3 million on a single heart-stopping drop as teammates work together to answer questions to build a huge cash prize. The rules are simple: Get a question correct and a green ball will fall down the four-story wall and add the value of the slot to the players’ winning total. Miss a question and an ominous red ball will fall and deduct the value from the team’s total. Contestants compete in pairs and must blindly trust their loved ones to make the right decisions during the game to accumulate their earnings. Back this season is the high-stakes wall-to-wall gameplay, tempting players to risk all seven balls for a chance to win big.

The Wall is a collaboration between Fulwell Entertainment’s SpringHill Company and Glassman Media, with LeBron James, Chris Hardwick, Maverick Carter, Aaron Long, Jessica Otazua, Quintin Strack, Andrew Glassman, and Tim Sullivan serving as executive producers. The Wall was developed by Glassman Media in conjunction with CORE Media and produced in association with Universal Television Alternative Studio, a division of Universal Studio Group.
