NBC Announces Fall 2014 Premiere Dates

NBC has become the first broadcast network to unveil the premiere dates for each show on their fall schedule. As has become tradition in recent years, the network will stagger out its premieres rather than concentrate them during Premiere Week – the third week in September when the broadcast networks would typically debut all of their new product.

Most notably, NBC has held their Tuesday comedies until October, with two-hour episodes of The Voice leading into Chicago Fire, while Grimm will get a late October premiere for the third time in four seasons. This time, the supernatural procedural will be helping to launch DC Comic adaptation Constantine, which stars Matt Ryan and Harold Perrineau. NBC will also be holding Katherine Heigl political drama State of Affairs until November 17th, debuting it in the middle of sweeps and right as the seventh season of The Voice begins winding down; The Blacklist will go on hiatus as of November 10th before returning with a post-Super Bowl episode in February 2015.

You can check out a full list of NBC’s fall premiere dates below, as well as their 2014 schedule here and trailers for their new fall shows here.
