\n\tNBC<\/a> is bringing \u201cLaw & Order: Organized Crime\u201d back to the network this fall, pushing \u201cThe Hunting Party<\/a>\u201d to midseason. That\u2019s among the scheduling tweaks revealed by the network as it unveils premiere dates for its full fall lineup. NBC previously unveiled its fall 2025 schedule<\/a> back in May, but the \u201cL&O:OG\u201d and \u201cHunting Party\u201d switcheroo are among several notable changes.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe second season of \u201cThe Hunting Party\u201d<\/a> was originally scheduled to air following new episodes of \u201cLaw & Order\u201d and \u201cLaw & Order: SVU\u201d on Thursday nights. Instead, the sophomore season will now be held until after January.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn its place, NBC will air a three-hour \u201cLaw & Order\u201d block on Thursdays beginning Sept. 25. Following \u201cLaw & Order\u201d and \u201cSVU,\u201d the fifth season of \u201cLaw & Order: Organized Crime\u201d will be re-aired on the broadcaster at 10 p.m. ET. Season 5 of the show originally debuted on Peacock in April after airing its first four seasons on NBC. <\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to an individual with knowledge of the situation, there is a chance \u201cThe Hunting Party\u201d will begin airing in February 2026 to take advantage of promotion around NBC\u2019s packed sports schedule that month. That includes the Super Bowl, the NBA<\/a> All-Star game, and Olympics coverage. \u201cThe Hunting Party\u201d is also relocating from Canada to shoot in New York for its second season. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn keeping with the Dick Wolf of it all, NBC\u2019s \u201cOne Chicago\u201d lineup returns on Wednesday, Oct. 1 led off by \u201cChicago Med\u201d at 8 p.m., followed by \u201cChicago Fire\u201d and \u201cChicago PD.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tOne other change affects NBC\u2019s comedy lineup. Although the network originally left open time slots after returning comedies \u201cSt. Denis Medical\u201d and \u201cHappy\u2019s Place\u201d on Mondays and Fridays respectively, both shows will now air back to back new episodes beginning on Monday, Nov. 3 and Friday, Nov. 7. NBC has two new comedies \u2014 cheerleading show \u201cStumble\u201d<\/a> and \u201cThe Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins\u201d starring Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe<\/a> \u2014 still waiting in the wings. The shows could still potentially air following \u201cSt. Denis Medical\u201d or \u201cHappy\u2019s Place\u201d come fall, but no plans are locked at the time of this publishing. <\/p>\n

\n\tLooking elsewhere on the schedule, the NBA will make its highly-anticipated return to NBC officially on Oct. 21. The network will kick off coverage at 6:30 p.m. ET with the pregame show, followed by a double header starting at 7:30 p.m. The teams participating in those games will be announced shortly. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe medical drama \u201cBrilliant Minds\u201d will return for its second season on Monday, Sept. 22 at 10 p.m. following a the season premiere episode of \u201cThe Voice.\u201d The new unscripted series \u201cOn Brand with Jimmy Fallon\u201d will launch on Tuesday, Sept. 30 at 10 p.m. NBC will air two episodes of the marketing competition series per week, with an episode also airing on Fridays starting Oct 3. The 51st season of \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d begins on Oct. 4. <\/p>\n

\n\tAs previously announced<\/a>, NBC will air a two-hour \u201cWicked\u201d special on Thursday, Nov. 6 starting at 8 p.m., two weeks ahead of the launch of the film \u201cWicked: For Good.\u201d <\/p>\n
