COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — NBC’s new fall prime-time season will kick off in mid-September on NBC4.
In a news release, NBC announced the premiere dates for its upcoming lineup, which features returning favorites, new comedies, and a fresh medical drama series.
The season will begin on Monday, Sept. 23 with the return of “The Voice.” First-time coaches Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé will join returning coaches Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani.

The brand new scripted drama, “Brilliant Minds,” led by Zachary Quinto will have its premiere that Monday as well. The series is inspired by world-famous author and physician Oliver Sacks’ life and work, NBC noted. The broadcaster’s show description reads “‘Brilliant Minds’ follows a revolutionary, larger-than-life neurologist and his team of interns as they explore the last great frontier – the human mind – while grappling with their own relationships and mental health.”
On Tuesday, Sept. 24, NBC will air the season finale of “America’s Got Talent.” Then on Wednesday, Sept. 24, NBC’s “Chicago Wednesday” will return with new episodes of “Chicago Med,” “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D.” airing at 8, 9 and 10 p.m., respectively.
An awards special will also be part of premiere week this year with the live airing of the second annual People’s Choice Country Awards on Thursday, Sept. 26.
The following week on Tuesday, Oct. 1, the sophomore drama series “The Irrational,” starring Jesse L. Martin, will debut at 10 p.m., after “The Voice.”
Then on Thursday, Oct. 3, the 24th season of “Law & Order” will begin at 8 p.m. and the 26th season of “Law & Order: SVU” will start at 9 p.m. Last year’s hit procedural “Found” will follow the legendary franchises at 10 p.m.

Later in the month on Friday, Oct. 18 the series premiere of the Reba McEntire comedy “Happy’s Place,” is scheduled for 8 p.m. McEntire will play “Bobbie” in the half-hour family sitcom. NBC explains her character “inherits her father’s restaurant and is less than thrilled to discover that she has a new business partner in the half-sister she never knew she had.” Season three of “Lopez vs. Lopez” will follow the premier, launching its season at 8:30 p.m.
ST. DENIS MEDICAL — Season: Pilot — Pictured: (l-r) Allison Tolman as Alex, Kahyun Kim as Serena, Mekki Leeper as Matt, David Alan Grier as Ron, Kaliko Kauahi as Val, Josh Lawson as Bruce, Wendi McLendon-Covey as Joyce — (Photo by: Danny Ventrella/NBC)
More new comedy will arrive on Tuesday, Nov. 12 with “St. Denis Medical,” starring Wendi McLendon-Covey, David Alan Grier and Allison Tolman. NBC described the show as a mockumentary “about an underfunded, understaffed Oregon hospital where the dedicated doctors and nurses try their best to treat patients while maintaining their own sanity.” The network will air two back-to-back episodes that night before pairing it the next week with the season three premiere of “Night Court” at 8:30 p.m.
Sports will also be a big part of fall programming with “Big Ten Saturday Night,” returning on Aug. 31 and “NBC Sunday Night Football,” on Sept. 5.
