NBC comes into Upfronts poised to win the A18-49 demo for the third broadcast season out of the past 4. The 2017 schedule adds 5 freshman dramas and 3 new comedies, anchored by a Thursday lineup that includes the returning Will & Grace, breakout hit This Is Us and new Dick Wolf true crime series Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders.

“Coming off another stabilizing year, which included the launch of one of the great new dramas in a decade, our upcoming fall schedule is both limited in the number of new series and aggressive in rebooting Thursday night,” said Robert Greenblatt, chairman, NBC Entertainment. “To create another undeniable night of television, we’re aligning some of our most potent shows on Thursday in order to bring back ‘Must See TV.’ We are also strategically deploying strong new shows in choice time periods on other nights and nurturing our growing comedy lineup.”
