@NBC has renewed #ChicagoFire, #TheBlacklist, Law & Order: #SVU, #Grimm and #ChicagoPD for the 2015-16 season.

NBC RENEWS DRAMAS ‘THE BLACKLIST,’ ‘Chicago Fire,’ ‘CHICAGO P.D.,’ LAW & ORDER: SVU’ AND ‘Grimm’ FOR 2015-16 SEASON
Network Ranks #1 Among Big 4 Competition This Season in Adults 18-49 and All Key Demos



UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. — Feb. 5, 2015 — NBC has announced it’s renewing dramas “The Blacklist” (season 3), “Chicago Fire” (season 4), “Chicago P.D.” (season 3), “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” (season 17) and “Grimm” (season 5) for the 2015-16 season.

For the 2014-15 season to date, NBC ranks #1 among the Big 4 networks in adults 18-49 and all other key demographics. NBC’s 2.9 average rating for the season in adults 18-49 is the network’s highest through 19 weeks of the season since 2008-09 (3.1).

“The creative vision of the executive producers who’ve guided these outstanding dramas has been nothing short of incredible,” said Jennifer Salke, President, NBC Entertainment. “We’re highly appreciative of the passion they bring to their shows at every step of the creative process and we’re thrilled to reward that dedication with these renewals.”

“The Blacklist,” which is moving to its new 9 p.m. Thursday timeslot this week, is averaging a 5.1 rating, 15 share in adults 18-49 and 17.4 million viewers so far this season, according to “most current” averages from Nielsen Media Research. Boosted by its Feb. 2 post-Super Bowl telecast, “Blacklist” currently ranks #2 among Big 4 entertainment program this season in adults 18-49 behind only CBS’s “Big Bang Theory” and is the #4 entertainment series in total viewers. “The Blacklist” delivers the biggest average increase in television of time-shifted viewers going from next-day “live plus same day” ratings to “live plus seven day” results, increasing by 6.3 million viewers.

“The Blacklist” stars Emmy Award winner James Spader as ex-government agent Raymond “Red” Reddington, formerly one of the FBI’s Most Wanted fugitives. Brokering shadowy deals for criminals across the globe, Red was known by many as “The Concierge of Crime” and now the FBI work for him as he identifies a “blacklist” of politicians, mobsters, spies and international terrorists. He will help catch them all… with the caveat that Elizabeth “Liz” Keen (Megan Boone) continues to work as his partner.

“The Blacklist, from Sony Pictures Television and Davis Entertainment, also stars Diego Klattenhoff, Harry Lennix, Ryan Eggold, Amir Arison and Mozhan Marno.

At 10 p.m. Tuesdays, “Chicago Fire” is delivering a 2.8 rating, 9 share in adults 18-49 and 10.1 million viewers overall this season, making it NBC’s #2 drama in both measures. “Chicago Fire” has ranked #1 or tied for #1 in 18-49 among the time period’s dramas on ABC, CBS and NBC through 11 of 13 original telecasts so far this season.

From Emmy winner Dick Wolf, “Chicago Fire” is an edge-of-your-seat view into the lives of everyday heroes committed to one of America’s noblest professions. For the firefighters, rescue squad and paramedics of Chicago Firehouse 51, no occupation is more stressful or dangerous, yet so rewarding and exhilarating. These courageous men and women are among the elite who forge headfirst into danger when everyone else is running the other way and whose actions make the difference between life and death.

The series, from Universal Television and Wolf Films, also stars Jesse Spencer, Taylor Kinney, Eamonn Walker, Monica Raymund, Kara Kilmer, Charlie Barnett, David Eigenberg, Yuri Sardarov, Joe Minoso and Christian Stolte.

Airing at 10 p.m. Wednesdays, “Chicago P.D.” is earning a 2.3 rating, 7 share in adults 18-49 and 9.4 million viewers overall this season, for gains versus last season of +10% in 18-49 and +14% in total viewers. “Chicago P.D.” has finished #1 or tied for #1 among ABC, CBS and NBC in the time period with five of its last six original broadcasts through Feb. 2.

From Dick Wolf and the team behind the hit series “Chicago Fire,” ‘Chicago P.D.” is a riveting police drama about the men and women of the Chicago Police Department’s elite Intelligence Unit, combatting the city’s most heinous offenses — organized crime, drug trafficking, high-profile murders and beyond.

The series, from Universal Television and Wolf Films, stars Jason Beghe as gritty and determined Det. Sgt. Hank Voight. Also starring are Jon Seda, Jesse Lee Soffer, Sophia Bush, Elias Koteas, Patrick John Flueger, LaRoyce Hawkins, Marina Squerciati, Amy Morton and Brian Geraghty.

The longest-running drama on television set to enter its 17th season in the fall, “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” is averaging a 2.5 rating, 7 share in 18-49 and 9.5 million viewers. That matches the show’s highest 18-49 rating at this point in the season in four years (since earning a 2.8 in 2010-11). In total viewers, “Law & Order: SVU” is up +10% this season versus last (9.5 million vs. 8.7 million), and is delivering its biggest overall audience at this point in the season in six years (since averaging 10.5 million in 2008-09).

Also from Universal Television and Wolf Films, “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” chronicles the life and crimes of the Special Victims Unit of the New York City Police Department, an elite squad of detectives who investigate sexually based crimes.

The series stars Emmy and Golden Globe winner Mariska Hargitay as Sgt, Olivia Benson, acting commander of the SVU. Also starring are Ice-T, Danny Pino, Kelli Giddish, Raúl Esparza and Peter Scanavino.

A Friday night success story, “Grimm” has averaged a 2.1 rating, 7 share in adults 18-49 and 7.2 million viewers overall so far this season, making it Friday’s #1 scripted series in 18-49 on the Big 4 networks. “Grimm” is one of the most time-shifted shows on broadcast television, with its originals growing by an average of +83% going from “live plus same day” Nielsens to “live plus seven day.”

“Grimm” is inspired by the classic Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales. The series stars David Giuntoli as Portland homicide detective Nick Burkhardt, who discovers he’s descended from an elite line of criminal profilers known as Grimms and increasingly finds his responsibilities as a detective at odds with his new responsibilities as a Grimm.

The series, from Universal Television and Hazy Mills Productions, also stars Russell Hornsby, Bitsie Tulloch, Silas Weir Mitchell, Reggie Lee, Sasha Roiz, Bree Turner and Claire Coffee.

  2. All of them were pretty granted, but I thought they would wait and see how The Blacklist does on Thursdays

  3. So excited for Grimm and Chicago PD.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Awesome for The Blacklist, Chicago Fire & PD

  5. What a shocker...

  6. Am over the moon happy with Grimm's renewal ! Grimm is a jolt of fun for me each week.

    ReplyDelete
  7. GRIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM YAY!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  8. Yay The Blacklist and Grimm! So this means that a fourth season of The Blacklist is all but assured now 'cause of syndication, right? Which it should do VERY well in, given its huge DVR numbers.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I'm very happy for The Blacklist, Chicago PD and SVU

    ReplyDelete
  10. Unreasonable - never! While my level of love for Grimm has varied (I loved it so much back in Season 2 I literally would run to the couch and flop down to watch) it is still one of the reasons I look forward to the end of the week.

  11. I'm so happy Grimm was renewed.I wasn't quite sure it would be but...YaY!!

    Not surprised that The Blacklist or Chicago Fire and PD got renewed,i was always expecting they would be.

    Sorry but its really time for SVU to pack it in...of course that's my opinion..

    ReplyDelete
  12. GREAT NEWS! So excited for Grimm - this season has really stepped it up so I hope they can keep the momentum going thru this season and into next.


    Also super excited about The Blacklist - James Spader is one of my favorite actors so anything that keeps him on my screen longer deserves a happy dance!


    I gave up on SVU a long time ago but congrats to the fans!


    I may have to check out the Chicago's now....especially if they do add a medical version to the mix (I'm a sucker for the medical dramas!).

    ReplyDelete
  13. I always view it as the little, entertaining show that succeeded on Friday night. When it first aired there was a lot of skepticism, hatred and comparison to Supernatural, some even calling it a rip off. So, I am happy that it has succeeded and is going on to S5.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I'm sure it will be but they are talking about the 2015/2016 season which will be their 3rd season.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Share your love but have actually found this season to be one of my favorites - Monroe's kidnapping and rescue, Wu's joining the team, Juliette's dosey - doe with being a hexenbiest, and Mama Renard 's introduction have been among the highlights of the series for me. Miss Trubel though.

    ReplyDelete
  16. And a full third season, which is likely what TBL got, means a fourth season. Especially considering the Blacklist already has a syndication deal in place.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Aaand Constantine is cancelled, I take it...

    ReplyDelete
  18. Do you watch Grimm because it wasn't a lock for a 5th season.

    ReplyDelete
  19. The Blacklist!!!!!!! Also good news Grimm!!! SUV

    ReplyDelete
  20. Maybe, but SVU's ratings haven't been that powerful lately; probably because of Empire

    ReplyDelete
  21. Yes! I love Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, and The Blacklist. Great news!

    ReplyDelete
  22. So this means The Blacklist is already renewed for a season 4 as well.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh, yeah, Chicago PD, that's the stuff!!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. This just reminds me how little of NBC I watch these days..

    ReplyDelete
  25. I know it is probably unreasonable but I really look forward to my hour of Grimm each week - love the cast and the balance the show has struck between funny and fantasy and horror.

  26. https://twitter.com/NBCBlacklist/status/563412637804167168



    Pretty much.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I think giving Olivia Benson more power revitalized SVU so I wasn't surprised at its renewal. And I hope The Blacklist blows its Thursday competition off the screen .

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yay! I'm so happy to see the news that Grimm got early renewal! Isn't all that surprising either, since it's one of the top scripted shows on Friday nights!

    ReplyDelete
  29. HELL YEAH to The Blacklist! So happy to have more James Spader as the epic Reddington next season even though it was obvious :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. GRIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!! YAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!

    * happy dance*

    ReplyDelete
  31. I know when the first PR started for it I had my doubts but the cast and the show's sense of humor totally had me at first glance. As soon as Monroe and Nick started forming their friendship I knew there was a good thing brewing here. Didn't OUAT and GRIMM start about the same time ? I remember thinking the networks were nuts putting on 2 new supernatural shows and boy, was I wrong !

    ReplyDelete
  32. Never was worried about Grimm anyway but it's nice to have confirmation.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Agree that the momentum and plots have improved on GRIMM this season. Really enjoying it.

    ReplyDelete
  34. :(


    I could see a 6 episode final season renewal though

    ReplyDelete
  35. Shame if it is because the show had potential in its corner and a strong lead actor but its birthing missteps killed it I fear.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I figure only because of Empire.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Not on the list? Not The Voice, Dateline or The Apprentice? Not a mid season show yet to air? Then you are cancelled.


    Basically Cancelled-
    Constantine
    All current comedies
    State Of Affairs
    Mysteries of Laura

  38. It depends on what failsFebruary 5, 2015 at 7:38 PM

    I'm not a Blacklist regular viewer, but now that the show is going to 66 episodes, I have to ask something, what's the highest number to appear on The Blacklist?


    it'll get at least 88 but if I'm not mistaken I've already seen numbers above 200, which is close to 10 seasons.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Same here. After the writers of Chicago Fire finally released me out of this misery by killing off Shay, I don't watch any NBC show anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Brilliant news!! Yay for Blacklist! And it looks like NBC is looking forward to more SVU/CF/CPD crossovers! (and I am too :)

    ReplyDelete
  41. All my shows are safe for another season.NBC,you made my day!

    ReplyDelete
  42. That was all good. I just had a few issues. But I still really love it as I said.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Grimm will definitely get to 100+ episodes now. I'm so happy for the show!!! It defied the odds of Friday night death slot and having Chuck as its lead-in in S1 was a task that it had to conquer as that show generated horrible ratings in the final 2 seasons. Good for NBC renewing it early.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I think 160 and something it's the highest number. Of course, the list may have thousands of names, but I don't think they would show number 1026 or something, and that somehow makes it limited.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I qm hoping for the mysteries of lzura
