NBC has locked in premiere dates for its 2026 midseason lineup, including the debut of the Tina Fey–produced comedy The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins starring Tracy Morgan.
The single-camera comedy follows disgraced former football star Reggie Dinkins (Morgan), who’s on a mission to rebuild his image — and his life — with the help of award-winning documentary filmmaker Arthur Tobin (Daniel Radcliffe). To win back his family’s respect and the public’s admiration, Reggie must finally face the ghosts of his past.
The series also stars Erika Alexander, Bobby Moynihan, Precious Way, and Jalyn Hall. It’s executive produced by Robert Carlock and Sam Means (30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), alongside Fey, Morgan, Eric Gurian, and David Miner. Reggie Dinkins is produced by Universal Television, Little Stranger, Inc., 3 Arts Entertainment, Bevel Gears, Means End Productions, and Streetlife Productions.
The new comedy kicks off with a one-hour premiere on Monday, Feb. 23 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, followed by The Voice Season 29 premiere at 9 p.m. After its debut, Reggie Dinkins will move to its regular 8:30 p.m. timeslot starting March 2.
NBC’s midseason schedule also features returning favorites The Wall, The Hunting Party, Law & Order, and the full OneChicago slate (Med, Fire, P.D.). The network’s “Legendary February” lineup will include major live events such as the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics (Feb. 6–22), Super Bowl LX (Feb. 8), and the NBA All-Star Game (Feb. 15).
