The Rookie: North Ordered to Series by ABC
ABC has handed a series order to their lone drama pilot, The Rookie: North. The spinoff of their long-running procedural hit The Rookie has been in development for over a year, with a pilot ordered this year en route to its eventual pickup. The pilot stars Jay Ellis as Alex Holland, who is inspired to join the Pierce County PD after a violent home invasion. He'll be on the case in both the urban coast and the rural forest in the sprawling Washington County, as he tries to prove to his skeptical training officer and fellow rookies that he belongs on the force. Chris Sullivan, Janet Montgomery, Karen Fukuhara, Malik Watson, Froy Gutierrez, and Mya Lowe will also star in the series, which has a ten-episode order for its first series. It is set for a midseason debut in early 2027. It's the second spinoff of The Rookie, after one-and-done The Rookie: Feds. Unlike Feds, The Rookie: North did not have a backdoor pilot on the parent show, as ABC utilizes a different strategy to launch this new series. There are, however, plans for crossovers between the two series.

NBC Orders Drama Pilots Line of Fire and The Rockford Files, Comedy Pilots Newlyweds and Sunset PI to Series
NBC has made their long-awaited decisions on their large pilot slate, ordering four to series and passing on four others.
Drama pilot The Rockford Files, starring David Boreanaz, Jacki Weaver, Michaela McManus, and Felix Solid, was long seen as a favorite for a pickup. The series is a contemporary remake of the James Garner classic, which ran for six seasons on NBC in the 1970s. It will focus on a PI who has recently been paroled, who uses his wit to solve cases around LA, landing him in trouble with both the LAPD and organized crime.
NBC's other new drama will also be headlined by a popular TV veteran in Peter Krause. Krause, who once starred on the network's long-running family drama Parenthood, will toppling Line of Fire alongside Hope Davis. It will center on a family of law enforcement agents who take on cases for the FBI, US Marshals, Secret Service, and the DOJ. When a simple case turns into a deadly conspiracy, they use their knowledge from their lives of service to protect one another and bring the killer to justice, breaking their own sworn code.
On the comedy side, Sunset PI was always seen as a favorite for a pickup, and it has indeed been ordered. The single-cam sitcom from the creative mind behind Brooklyn Nine-Nine stars Jake Johnson, Jane Levy, Langston Kerman, Mary Shalaby and Keith David, and will center on PIs in Los Angeles - a recurring theme for NBC pickups this year.
Newlyweds will be their multicam comedy pickup, and will star real-life newlyweds - and former Madam Secretary co-stars - Tea Leoni and Tim Daly. It centers on a free-spirted woman and a strait-laced professor who marry late in life after a whirlwind courtship. Jamie Lee Curtis, an executive producer on the project, will recur.
The pickup of these four pilots marks the end of the line for four other projects - Emily Deschanel pilot Key Witness, Taylor Schilling's Dick Wolf-EP'd What the Dead Know, Jane Lynch and Katey Sagal's Jill & Ginger, and Damon Wayans Jr's Puzzled - which have now been passed on. Key Witness is being shopped to other networks, while What the Dead Know is being retooled.
RJ Decker Renewed by ABC
ABC will officially bring back all of its scripted series from the 2025-26 TV season, as freshman drama RJ Decker has been renewed for a second season. The series was ABC's lowest-rated show, with a 0.18 demo average in its first season, but its multiplatform performance was promising enough for ABC to give the series a second chance. Its pilot episode drew over 15 million viewers in MP+35 viewing, ABC's most-watched 10 PM drama launch in over five years. Despite the strong launch on streaming, the show was a more modest linear ratings performer, slipping as low as 0.13 in the key demo, leaving the show's ultimate fate in doubt until the very end. RJ Decker stars Scott Speedman in the titular role, alongside Jana Lee Ortiz, Bevin Bru, and Adelaide Clemens. This is a miss for The TV Ratings Guide, which had listed RJ Decker as "leans cancellation" as of its final ABC Renew/Cancel of the season.
Law & Order Renewed by NBC
One of TV's longest-running dramas will get to extend its run. Law & Order has officially been renewed for a twenty-sixth season, in a decision that took longer than expected. News of the impending renewal broke last night, but the news has now been confirmed through Wolf Entertainment's social media accounts. While the weakest of Wolf's five NBC series, it has still been a respectable performer for NBC, with a 0.24 average in the key demo, though that does make it the lowest-rated renewed scripted series on NBC this season. The 26th season is expected to undergo further budget cuts, the extent of which have not been announced thus far. Hugh Dancy, Odelya Halevi, Tony Goldwyn, Reid Scott, David Ajala, and Maura Tierney lead the show's current cast, with Dancy and Halevi's prosecutors being the only remaining actors from the first season of the revival run, which began just four years ago. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.

NBC Renews The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins for Season Two
The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins hasn't fallen yet. NBC has renewed the Tracy Morgan-led freshman sitcom for a second season of ten episodes, the same episode count as its first season. Reggie Dinkins was NBC's highest-rated series in the key 18-49 demo, with a 0.38 average, though that was heavily inflated by a post-NFL premiere. Without the NFL lead-in, it averaged 0.27 in the demo, knocking the show down to seventh among NBC's scripted programming - still above comedy Happy's Place, the lowest-rated scripted series to earn a renewal on NBC so far this season. The renewal comes less than a week after the cancellation of Stumble, NBC's other freshman sitcom from this season, which boasted a significantly lower 0.17 average. Reggie Dinkins comes from a creative team that includes creator Robert Carlock and executive producer Tina Fey, who have lengthy working relationships with NBC. Daniel Radcliffe, Erika Alexander, Precious Way, Bobby Moynihan, and Jalyn Hall star alongside Morgan in the series. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.
