Overview
- NBC announced Friday, May 8, that it picked up four series for 2026–27: The Rockford Files, Line of Fire, Sunset P.I., and Newlyweds.
- The Rockford Files returns with David Boreanaz as James Rockford, a newly paroled private investigator drawn back into cases around Los Angeles.
- Line of Fire follows a family working across the FBI, U.S. Marshals, Secret Service, and Justice Department, led by Peter Krause and Hope Davis.
- The comedies pair Jake Johnson’s private-eye sendup Sunset P.I. with Newlyweds, a later-in-life romance starring Téa Leoni and Tim Daly, with Jamie Lee Curtis recurring.
- All four shows come from Universal Television, and NBC says the expanded pilot push created about 4,000 U.S. jobs across shoots in Los Angeles, New York, and Atlanta, while four other pilots were passed on and are being shopped or retooled ahead of upfront scheduling.
