New shows premiering in the fall of 2026

Line of Fire

This drama will follow a family of law enforcement agents as they bridge personal differences and cross professional boundaries while tackling cases for the FBI, U.S. Marshals Service, 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.

Line of Fire stars Peter Krause, Hope Davis, Kat Cunning, Tommy O’Brien, Taylor Bloom, and Charlie Barnett, with Josh Safran as the writer and an executive producer. TODAY‘s Jenna Bush Hager and Ben Spector also executive produce.

Newlyweds

This new comedy is a later-in-life love story about a free-spirited woman and a buttoned-up professor who marry impetuously after a whirlwind courtship.

Newlyweds stars Téa Leoni (Madam Secretary) and Tim Daly, with Jamie Lee Curtis as a recurring guest star.

Writer Gail Lerner executive produces alongside Eric and Kim Tannenbaum for The Tannenbaum Company, Jamie Lee Curtis, Scott Schwartz, and Lionsgate Television.

The Traitors

An all-new civilian version of Peacock’s Emmy Award-winning competition reality series is coming to NBC on Thursdays this fall. In this brand-new iteration of the series known for strategic gameplay and skillful saboteurs, Emmy-winning host Alan Cumming is opening the doors to his now infamous castle deep in the Scottish Highlands to everyday Americans and asking 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, 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.
