“The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” Anchors NBC’s Midseason Lineup

NBC, the #1 network this season for both all programming and entertainment-only programming, has set premiere dates for both its new Tina Fey-produced comedy “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” as well as the return of the buzzy procedural drama “The Hunting Party.”

“The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” from creators Robert Carlock and Sam Means will debut with a one-hour premiere on Monday, February 23 @ 8PM ET/PT before moving to its regular timeslot the following week on Monday, March 2 @ 8:30PM

Following the series premiere of “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” on February 23 @ 9PM, “The Voice” will begin its 29th season in what will be dubbed “The Voice: Battle of Champions,” marking a major revamp to the longstanding format and nodding to the powerhouse coaches who form the only panel in the show’s history comprised entirely of “Voice” winners.

For its first week of the new season, “The Voice” will air three two-hour telecasts on February 23 (9PM), 25 (8PM) and 26 (8PM). Beginning March 2 (and after a March 4 telecast), “The Voice” will air in its normal 9PM timeslot and be followed by “Brilliant Minds” @ 10PM

An iconic coaching panel will be featured as fan-favorites Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, and Adam Levine reclaim their red chairs. The landmark season will be infused with fast-paced, competitive elements, delivering a fresh twist on the format that raises the stakes for coaches and artists alike.

Back for its highly anticipated sophomore season, the riveting drama “The Hunting Party” returns to NBC on Thursday, January 8 @ 10PM

Also returning on January 5 is “The Wall,” hosted by Emmy® Award winner Chris Hardwick. The series continues to change lives through its cash prizes, giving away more than $35 million to date. New episodes debuting this January feature extraordinary contestants including a national hero who helped evacuate the Pentagon on 9/11, a courageous bystander who rescued a snowboarder buried headfirst beneath six feet of snow and a compassionate firefighter who adopted a newborn left in the station’s safe haven.

In addition, the network is revving up for “Legendary February” – three of the biggest events in sports all taking place within days of each other in February 2026 only on NBC and Peacock. The Milan Cortina Winter Olympic Games begin with the Opening Ceremony on February 6 and conclude with the Closing Ceremony on February 22. Within that 17-day window, NBC Sports will also present Super Bowl LX from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on February 8 and the NBA All-Star Game at the state-of-the-art Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., on February 15.

But as Bex races to catch these killers before it’s too late, she’ll discover that the one thing more twisted than the escapees she’s chasing is the prison that they just escaped from … because the Pit wasn’t just a prison.

ABOUT “THE WALL”

“The Wall” is an action-packed game with more than $12 million on the line each night and up to $3 million on a single heart-stopping drop as teammates work together to answer questions to build a huge cash prize. The rules are simple: Get a question correct, and a green ball will fall down the four-story wall and add the value of the slot to the players’ winning total. Miss a question, and an ominous red ball will fall and deduct the value from the team’s total. Contestants compete in pairs and must blindly trust their loved ones to make the right decisions during the game to accumulate their earnings. Back this season is the high-stakes wall-to-wall gameplay, tempting players to risk all seven balls for a chance to win big.

“The Wall” is a collaboration between Fulwell Entertainment’s SpringHill Company and Glassman Media with LeBron James, Chris Hardwick, Maverick Carter, Aaron Long, Jessica Otazua, Quintin Strack, Andrew Glassman, and Tim Sullivan serving as executive producers. “The Wall” was developed by Glassman Media in conjunction with CORE Media and produced in association with Universal Television Alternative Studio, a division of Universal Studio Group.

ABOUT “THE VOICE”

“The Voice” is a presentation of MGM Television, Warner Horizon Unscripted Television, a Warner Bros. Television Group, and ITV Studios The Voice USA, Inc. The series was created by John de Mol, who serves as an executive producer along with Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Amanda Zucker, Kyra Thompson, Adam H. Sher, and Barry Poznick.,
