From new shows premiering to main stays returning, here's a preview of what to expect on NBC.
Summer is officially over and we're looking ahead to one of the biggest TV lineups in recent memory.
This fall, NBC has plenty of new and returning programs. One of the new shows is Ordinary Joe, where a man lives out three different lives as a singer, a doctor, and a police officer.
Natalie Martinez revealed how the show can change viewer's perspective.
"Very rarely do we get to see the road not taken. I think this show allows people to see that there really aren't any wrong decisions or wrong choices in life. There's just the choice you make, and what you do with that afterwards," Martinez said.
Elizabeth Lail also shared the series' important message on reflection.
"This show is going to reflect that back at them that you're capable, you have so much potential inside you can that can manifest in so many different ways. So you may as well give it a go," Lail said
Ordinary Joe premieres September 20th on NBC.
Next up, the Chicago franchise is returning to NBC on Wednesday, September 22nd. With the beginning of the new seasons, a gripping plot will play out, as some first responders will be in harm's way underwater.
Lastly, the Law & Order universe is returning with SVU and Organized Crime.
Look for both Law & Order: SVU and Organized Crime starting Thursday, September 23rd.
