NBC has handed out series pickups to several new shows.
The network ordered six new series for the 2026-2027 season.
This includes two comedies, two dramas, and two unscripted shows. The pickups come after NBC canceled medical drama Brilliant Minds after two seasons, freshman comedy Stumble, and freshman game show On Brand with Jimmy Fallon. Three of them will be premiering this fall, while the others will be coming midseason. Premiere dates will be announced later.
Line of Fire (Mondays at 10 p.m. ET)

A family of law enforcement agents bridges personal differences and crosses professional boundaries as they tackle cases for the FBI, US Marshals, Secret Service, and Department of Justice. After a seemingly cut-and-dry case turns into a deadly conspiracy, they must use the expertise from a lifetime of protecting civilians and politicians to protect one another and bring the killer to justice… even if it means betraying their sworn code.

The Traitors (Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET)
In this brand-new iteration of The Traitors for NBC, Emmy-winning host Alan Cumming is opening the doors to his now infamous castle in the Scottish Highlands to everyday Americans. There he will ask them, “Are you a Faithful? Or are you a Traitor?” The Traitors is a nail-biting psychological adventure in which treachery and deceit are the name of the game. Set at an ancient castle set deep in the Scottish Highlands, contestants work together on a series of exhilarating missions to build a prize fund worth up to $250,000.
Hidden amongst the Faithful are the Traitors, whose goal is to eliminate the Faithful and claim the prize for themselves. Under the cover of darkness, the Traitors murder the Faithful one by one in a treacherous spree while the Faithful try to uncover the Traitors and banish them from the game. If the Faithful contestants banish all the Traitors, they will share the prize fund, but if a Traitor (or Traitors) makes it to the end, they will steal all the money.
The Traitors is produced by Studio Lambert, part of All3 Media. Alan Cumming hosts as well as serves as an executive producer along with Mike Cotton, Sam Rees-Jones, Rosie Franks, Jack Burgess, Stephen Lambert, and Tim Harcourt.
Wordle (Midseason 2027)
Hosted by TODAY co-host Savannah Guthrie, the new format of the popular word game from The New York Times challenges players to solve five-letter word puzzles in a supersized battle of smarts, speed, and fun. It builds on the way the puzzle community engages with Wordle every day — solving together, sharing wins, debating strategies, and cheering one another on. Now, that style of play comes to life as the most-obsessed and competitive players will team up in squads and go head-to-head in the Wordle arena, playing for an incredible cash prize.
Wordle is produced by Universal Television Alternative Studio in association with Fallon’s production company, Electric Hot Dog, and The New York Times Company.
