NBC Announces Midseason Schedule

NBC announced its midseason schedule Thursday which includes the fourth element of its “Chicago” franchise, a spinoff of “The Blacklist” and a comedy produced by Tina Fey.

“Chicago Justice” will be part of an all-new Sunday lineup debuting March 5. It stars Philip Winchester as the deputy chief of the Special Prosecutions Bureau of the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office who is the son of Ben Stone, the Manhattan executive assistant district attorney in the NBC series “Law & Order” portrayed by Michael Moriarity from 1990-94.

The cast also includes Carl Weathers from the “Rocky” film franchise as the Cook County state’s attorney.

The Sunday lineup also includes the second seasons of the unscripted comedy/variety series “Little Big Shots” and the Jennifer Lopez-starring detective drama “Shades of Blue.”

“The Blacklist: Redemption” will premiere Feb. 23, airing in the 10 p.m. Thursday timeslot of “The Blacklist” for eight weeks until April 20 when “The Blacklist” returns with a two-hour episode.

“Great News,” a comedy whose executive producers include Fey, premieres April 25. It stars Briga Heelan as a smart, ambitious producer whose mother (Andrea Martin) becomes an intern at the same cable network news show.

“Great News” was created by Tracey Wigfield, an Emmy Award-winning writer on “30 Rock,” who also plays what NBC describes as a “creepy resident meteorologist who is far from your stereotypical weather girl.”

“Powerless,” a comedy based on DC Comics characters set in a world where humanity must cope with where humanity must cope with the collateral damage of super heroes and super villains, will premiere Feb. 2.

“Powerless” stars Vanessa Hudgens as the newly hired director of research & development for Wayne Security, a subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises that specializes in products that make defenseless bystanders feel a little safer.

NBC’s other midseason comedy debut is “Trial & Error” a fish-out-of- water comedy starring Nicholas D’Agosto as a bright-eyed New York lawyer who heads to a tiny Southern town for his first big case, defending an eccentric poetry professor (John Lithgow) accused of the bizarre murder of his beloved wife.

“Trial & Error” will premiere March 7.
