The sixth and final season of NBC’s award-winning drama This Is Us will premiere on Tuesday, January 4, 2022 at 9pm ET/PT. The network’s just-released midseason schedule also reveals Tuesday nights this winter will feature the new workplace comedy American Auto from Superstore‘s Justin Spitzer and Grand Crew from Phil Augusta Jackson and Dan Goor.
NBC will be adding three new dramas to its winter primetime lineup. The heist thriller The Endgame is set to premiere after the Olympics on February 21st. Renee Zellweger stars in The Thing About Pam, a limited series inspired by Dateline NBC‘s most popular episodes and set to premiere on March 8th. And Law and Order returns after a 10 year break on February 24, 2022.
“Our goal in the fall was to engage and grow the NBC audience with hallmark dramas, building momentum through the holidays and into the Olympics, all of which will work in concert to provide the best possible launch pads for our new and returning midseason shows,” stated Frances Berwick, Chairman, Entertainment Networks, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “After a premiere week win and tremendous success this season to-date, we’re well-primed to deliver on that promise and continue this winning trend through the remainder of the season.”
“Following a fall that launched a pair of dramas and saw huge success from so many returning series, we’re excited to really pull back the curtain in January with big swings across genres that provide something for everyone,” added Susan Rovner, Chairman, Entertainment Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “Over the past year, our programming team has been vigorously chasing down the best content out there, and it’s really exciting to start to see some early fruits of our labor join the longtime fan favorites on the NBC schedule.”
