NBC Sets Midseason Schedule For 2026
NBC has set premiere dates for both its new Tina Fey-produced comedy “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” starring Tracy Morgan and the return of “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, Feb. 23 at 8 p.m. ET/PT before moving to its regular timeslot the following week on Monday, March 2 at 8:30 p.m.
“The Voice” returns for Season 29 on Feb. 23 at 9 p.m.. Known as “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 Feb. 23 (9 p.m.), 25 (8 p.m.) and 26 (8 p.m.). Beginning March 2 (and after a March 4 telecast), “The Voice” will air in its normal 9 p.m. timeslot and be followed by “Brilliant Minds” at 10 p.m.
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.
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 Feb. 6 and conclude with the Closing Ceremony on Feb. 22. Within that 17-day window, NBC Sports will also present Super Bowl LX from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Feb. 8 and the NBA All-Star Game at the state-of-the-art Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., on Feb. 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.
