NBC has made a shift in its 2015-2016 schedule.

The new medical drama, HEARTBREAKER, will be pushed to midseason so production can accommodate series star Melissa George’s pregnancy. The CHICAGO FIRE spinoff, CHICAGO MED, will now be bumped up to HEARTBREAKERS’ intended post-VOICE slot (Tuesdays at 9 PM).

The new move will pair both CHICAGO shows together comes FIRE’s November launch. (A Neil Patrick Harris variety show will air Tuesdays at 10 for the first couple of months of the season.)

NBC is going medical show-heavy with newly-picked up CHICAGO MED, the renewal of THE NIGHT SHIFT, and the order of HEARTBREAKER.

Unlike the other two medical dramas, HEARTBREAKER — starring Melissa George and Dave Annable — is based on a real-life heart-transplant surgeon.

Check out some photos from pilot, the official description, and a trailer…

NBC is going drama/reality-heavy for its fall 2015 lineup, with only one hour of comedy scheduled in the entire week.

“We’re attacking the new season with the same programming strategy that successfully turned NBC around — a slate of provocative and innovative series and events that cut through the clutter and will continue to build on our momentum,” said Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, NBC Entertainment in a statement. “We have several powerful new dramas and attention-getting new comedies, including the return of ‘Undateable,’ which will be broadcast live every week next season. Live programming is one more way to make a show undeniable.”

“We can’t wait for the fall season and the chance to roll out our lineup of distinctive, innovative new dramas and comedies, scheduled with the kind of lead-in support that will give each of our new shows the optimum chance to find their audiences and deliver on their outstanding potential,” said Jennifer Salke, President, NBC Entertainment. “The fall lineup gives you only half the story. We truly program on a 52-week basis and are putting virtually the same amount of programming muscle behind our mid-season lineup, with some of the most high-profile concepts and biggest names on television joining the schedule starting at midseason and extending throughout the remainder of the broadcast year.”

“Unscripted programming has played a key role in NBC’s two consecutive season-long wins, from ‘The Voice’ to ‘America’s Got Talent’ to ‘American Ninja Warrior,’” said Paul Telegdy, President, Alternative and Late Night Programming, NBC Entertainment. “We’re excited to build on that momentum with some of the most inventive breakthrough alternative concepts coming in the new season, including ‘First Dates,’ ‘Little Big Shots’ and ‘Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris,’ featuring one of America’s most phenomenal performing talents hosting the U.S. adaptation of a smash-hit British series.”

Here’s the full NBC fall schedule, which includes BLINDSPOT getting the post-VOICE Monday slot, and HEROES REBORN kicking off Thursdays… Read more
