NBC much like CBS appears to be in pretty good shape with their current line up, Pretty much all of their tent poll series will return like The Chicago trilogy, This is Us, The Voice and Law and Order SVU. It's big freshmen shows of Manifest and New Amsterdam started out strong, though ratings have fallen, Manifest hit a series low with its Season finale, so those are up in the air. NBC has already picked up a Law and Order Spin-Off straight to series and they have an early favorite with a pilot based on a film and book series, Bone Collector.
