LINE OF FIRE: “A family of law enforcement agents bridges personal differences and crosses professional boundaries as they tackle cases for the FBI, US Marshals, Secret Service and Department of Justice. After a seemingly cut-and-dry case turns into a deadly conspiracy, they must use the expertise from a lifetime of protecting civilians and politicians to protect one another and bring the killer to justice … even if it means betraying their sworn code.”

THE TRAITORS (WITH CIVILIANS): “The Traitors is coming to NBC with an all-new civilian version of Peacock’s Emmy Award-winning competition reality series known for strategic gameplay and skillful saboteurs.

In this brand-new iteration of The Traitors for NBC, Emmy-winning host Alan Cumming is opening the doors to his now infamous castle in the Scottish Highlands to everyday Americans. There he will ask them, ‘Are you a Faithful? Or are you a Traitor?’ The Traitors is a nail-biting psychological adventure in which treachery and deceit are the name of the game. Set at an ancient castle set deep in the Scottish Highlands, contestants work together on a series of exhilarating missions to build a prize fund worth up to $250,000. Hidden amongst the Faithful are the Traitors, whose goal is to eliminate the Faithful and claim the prize for themselves. Under the cover of darkness, the Traitors murder the Faithful one by one in a treacherous spree while the Faithful try to uncover the Traitors and banish them from the game. If the Faithful contestants banish all the Traitors, they will share the prize fund, but if a Traitor (or Traitors) makes it to the end, they will steal all the money.”

NEWLYWEDS: “A later-in-life love story about a free-spirited woman and a buttoned-up professor who marry impetuously after a whirlwind courtship. The series stars Téa Leoni and Tim Daly with Jamie Lee Curtis as a recurring guest star.”

One universe fans are particularly excited to see return is One Chicago. Whether you watch Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, Chicago P.D., or all of them, the Dick Wolf franchise has been making viewers’ hearts race since the first episode of Fire in 2012. Taylor Kinney, who plays Severide, has been with the series from the jump.

“This is home,” Kinney said on TODAY in 2022 while talking about the city of Chicago. “Times have changed, and the city has changed, and people have grown.”

“It’s never lost on me how special it is to be a part of something with the longevity this has,” the actor also told Us Weekly  about working on Chicago Fire. “It’s a testament to [show creator] Dick Wolf and the team of people he puts together.”

Speaking of longevity in the Dick Wolf universe, Law & Order: SVU returns this fall for Season 28. Helmed by the incomparable Mariska Hargitay, the show has made an indelible mark not just on television but culture. (Name a show intro more iconic than this one.)

When SVU was celebrating its 25th anniversary a few years back, Hargitay reflected on the show’s legacy. “People ask me, ’25 years! 25 years!’ And as we shot [the season], they talked about it, and it was so difficult for me to really take in,” she told NBC Insider. “I’ve been doing this for 25 years, and it was the other night as I was going to the wrap party with my son, it just hit me: ‘I am going to the wrap party for my show that has been on for 25 seasons.’  It just hit me, and it was so beautiful for so many reasons.”  The original mothership Law & Order is also returning this fall.
