Finale information for About a Boy, Growing Up Fisher, Believe, Crisis, and American Dream Builders will be released at a later date.

2014 May Sweeps extend from April 24th through May 21st, while NBC will unveil its 2014-2015 schedule Sunday, May 11th. The networks that have yet to reveal their season finale dates (ABC, FOX, and CBS) should be doing so in the coming weeks, likely around the same time summer schedules come out.

The core of the Friday lineup won’t be returning until Friday, October 25th, when Grimm will debut its third season at 9:00 and Dracula begins NBC’s test of low cost international co-productions at 10:00. Until they debut, Fridays will likely be the land of repeats and Dateline, which has its season premiere on September 27th before shifting to 8:00 once Grimm and Dracula arrive.

Among the other later debuts of the season are The Biggest Loser (October 8th), returning to the fall with a one-hour edition; Blair Underwood cop drama Ironside (October 2nd); interracial marriage comedy Welcome to the Family (October 3rd); and Sean Hayes vehicle Sean Saves the World (October 3rd).

“On the verge of our 2013 fall scheduling decisions, we’re pleased to renew five drama series that will be important to our new season line-up,” Jennifer Salke, president of NBC Entertainment, said. “We’re proud and very appreciative of all of the actors, producers, writers and directors who work so hard to deliver such high-quality work week in and week out. These complex shows represent a broad range of genres and tones, and all of them stand out for us in a television landscape now filled with one-hour series. We’re especially pleased to be renewing Revolution and Chicago Fire — two first-season successes — and there will be more returning series announcements made in the next couple of weeks.”

None of the renewals are surprises, as NBC has been much stronger this season with their dramas than their comedies, even scoring the two aforementioned freshman successes in Revolution and Chicago Fire. While Grimm continues to put up solid numbers on Fridays, solid enough to get a Tuesday tryout following the demise of Ready for Love, Parenthood has only continued to rise in its Tuesdays at 10:00 slot, the next season (its fifth) being an upgrade from the 18 episodes it had two seasons ago and 15 this season. Meanwhile, Law & Order: SVU has proved to be a solid performer for the network, launching Chicago Fire and giving NBC a strong utility player capable of handling a tough Wednesday time slot.

The only non-canceled/ending dramas that NBC didn’t extend a renewal to are mystery Deception, which is unlikely to return, and Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal, coming off another steep drop in the ratings last night.

NBC will be the first network to reveal its 2013-2014 schedule, having its upfront presentation the morning of Monday, May 13th.

Are you glad that Parenthood will have a full season for once? Do you think that Grimm should be used during the week rather than saved for Fridays? Is Chicago Fire strong enough to move away from SVU and be put to use elsewhere?
