UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. — Nov. 7, 2022 — Following another Premiere Week win and a top-rated fall, NBC heads into 2023 with the launch of an all-new “Night Court,” the debuts of dramas “Found” and “Magnum P.I.” and an offshoot of one of the biggest unscripted brands in the world with “America’s Got Talent: All-Stars.”
NBC heads into midseason as the #1 network in both total viewers and 18-49 demo in overall programming as well as being #1 in the demo in entertainment-only programming.
“Saturday Night Live” continues its reign as the #1 entertainment program in the demo (live + 3). In live +7 viewing in the demo, NBC has the top three shows – “Chicago P.D.,” “Saturday Night Live” and “Chicago Fire.” “Quantum Leap,” which was recently given a full-series order, ranks #3 in new shows this season in the demo L+7.
In total viewers, the current season of “The Voice” – with coaches Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, John Legend and Camila Cabello – ranks #1 for unscripted programming.
"Following another winning fall, we’re looking forward to a great January and beyond with a strong schedule that delivers on the return of many favorites coupled with fantastic new premieres,” said Frances Berwick, Chairman, Entertainment Networks, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “We continue to program with an eye toward a year-round schedule, constantly providing our audiences with new reasons to tune in and engage either live on NBC or stream next day on Peacock.”
“We can’t wait to share these terrific new series with our audience,” said Susan Rovner, Chairman, Entertainment Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “‘Found,’ from Greg Berlanti and Nkechi Okoro Carroll, is a stellar addition to our drama lineup while ‘Magnum, P.I.’ comes to us with a passionate fanbase already in place that we intend to nourish. On the comedy side, having John Larroquette and Melissa Rauch co-star in an updated ‘Night Court’ is a dream come true, and our critically acclaimed comedy ‘American Auto’ is back with its hilarious and ironic look at corporate America. Add “AGT: All-Stars” to that mix and it’s a great start to the new year.”
Launching right out of the holiday season, “America’s Got Talent: All-Stars” premieres Monday, Jan. 2. This new series serves as an extension of the powerhouse hit franchise, featuring winners, fan favorites and viral sensations from previous seasons of “America’s Got Talent” and “Got Talent” franchises around the world.

Melissa Rauch plays the late Harry Stone’s daughter and takes the gavel, sparring with new public defender and “Night Court” legend John Larroquette. A week after “Night Court” airs back-to-back episodes, the critically acclaimed Ana Gasteyer-starrer “American Auto” returns to create an hourlong Tuesday comedy block beginning Jan. 24.

“Magnum P.I.” is a modern take on the classic series centering on Thomas Magnum, a decorated former Navy SEAL who, upon returning home from Afghanistan, repurposes his military skills to become a private investigator. A charming rogue, an American hero and a die-hard Detroit Tigers fan, Magnum lives in a guest cottage on Robin’s Nest, the luxurious estate where he works as a security consultant to supplement his P.I. business. The “majordomo” of the property is Juliet Higgins, a beautiful and commanding disavowed MI:6 agent whose second job is to keep Magnum in line, with the help of her two Dobermans. When Magnum needs back up on a job, he turns to his trusted buddies and fellow POW survivors Theodore ‘TC’ Calvin, a former Marine chopper pilot who runs Island Hoppers, a helicopter tour business, and Orville “Rick” Wright, a former Marine door-gunner-turned-impresario of Oahu’s coolest nightclub and the most connected man on the island. With keys to a vintage Ferrari in one hand, aviator sunglasses in the other, and an Old Düsseldorf longneck chilling in the fridge, Thomas Magnum is back on the case!
The cast includes Jay Hernandez, Perdita Weeks, Zachary Knighton, Stephen Hill, Amy Hill, and Tim Kang.
Eric Guggenheim Barbie Kligman, John Davis, Justin Lin, John Fox, David Wolkove and Gene Hong executive produce.

But unbeknownst to anyone, this everyday hero is hiding a chilling secret of her own.
The cast includes Shanola Hampton, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Kelli Williams, Brett Dalton, Gabrielle Walsh, Arlen Escarpeta and Karan Oberoi.
