From the Upfronts: NBC Announces Fall Schedule
NBC announced their upcoming Fall schedule early as planned and seeing as most of the major announcements preceded this, their were no surprises. Chuck will return to its usual Monday 8 PM EST timeslot to lead off an action-adventure night. It will be followed by the conspiracy-laden series The Event which may hold some interest for Science Fiction and Fantasy fans. Then on Wednesday nights, J.J. Abrams’ new spy drama Undercovers will air which may have some genre elements as well. At Mid-Season, the peacock network will roll out the quasi-superhero series The Cape which will co-star genre favorite Summer Glau. With Heroes getting the axe, as announced on Friday, their are no other sci fi/fantasy shows on NBC’s Fall or Mid-Season schedule. There was also no confirmation on the rumors that Heroes will get some sort of wrap-up movie, though Hollywood Reporter indicated that NBC would talk with series creator Tim Kring after the upfronts about some sort of finale for the show. Stay tuned as we bring more updates from the upfronts over the coming days.
