NBC 2017-18 Fall Schedule: Must-See TV Revived on Thursday With This Is Us, Will & Grace
Variety:
NBC is hoping to bring back the Must-See TV glow to its Thursday lineup with plans to move the breakout hit drama This Is Us to the 9 p.m. slot this fall.
The revival of Will & Grace will also head to Thursday, anchoring the night at 8 p.m. This Is Us emerged as a breakout hit for NBC this season in the Tuesday 9 p.m. slot. In February it will also get a plum showcase behind NBCs Super Bowl telecast.
Our hope is to create the return of Must-See TV on Thursday, NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt said in a conference call Sunday. The moves on Thursday were designed to strategically surround (This Is Us) with shows we think are very strong.
NBC formally unveils its new schedule to advertisers in New York on Monday.
