NBC has announced January premiere dates for its two new single-cam comedies, Superstore and Telenovela (which is reverting to its original name after being titled Hot & Bothered for quite some time). Before they premiere in their normal time slots, however, NBC will be using The Voice to give Superstore and Telenovela one-hour "special previews" on Monday, Nov. 30 at 10/9c and Monday, Dec. 7 at 10/9c, respectively. Blindspot will have already aired its fall-finale by this time (presumably on Monday, Nov. 23).
Superstore and Telenovela will then premiere in their regular time slots on Monday, Jan. 4 at 8/7c and 8:30/7:30c, respectively. They will act as a bridge between the two cycles of The Voice, which unofficially puts the season 10 premiere of The Voice on Monday, March 7. At this time, it is currently unknown what will fill the 9:00 hour during the bridge.
NBC has stated that they will be using the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and their upcoming musical The Wiz Live! (Dec. 3) to promote the previews of the comedies.
Here are NBC's Monday schedules for the nights of the "special previews" of the comedies and their Monday premieres:
