NBC Renewal Status Report: Chicago Trio, ‘Law & Order’ Duo, ‘Brilliant Minds’, ‘Suits: LA’ & More
NBC's lineup resembles one giant bubble this year with only two of 15 current scripted series renewed and most of the others in serious limbo.
As Deadline reported exclusively last week, in anticipation of a Season 27 renewal of flagship Law & Order: SVU, the series has tapped Michele Fazekas as new showrunner, marking the first time a woman will be at the helm of the venerable crime drama. The numbers are still not great, but there have been a couple of recent rating upticks, including one tied to the return of original Suits star Gabriel Macht, that would likely earn the show more time with a renewal while it is evolving its tone and pace to more closely resemble the mothership series. But the scheduling move may have boosted Grosse Pointe ‘s chances for renewal consideration by sibling Peacock; the serialized drama with comedic overtones from the Good Girls duo of Jenna Bans and Bill Krebs was always considered better suited for streaming.
