NBC Mulls Comedy Pilots for 2025-2026 Schedule
NBC is looking for new comedies to air in late 2025.
They have a few pilots that might become full TV shows.
One strong choice is a show called 'Stumble' about cheerleaders, which has been well-liked.
Another option is 'The Paper', which is related to the popular show 'The Office'.
A show with Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe is already set to air.
There's also a pilot from the people who made 'Rutherford Falls'.
NBC is deciding which shows to pick.
NBC has two open slots in its 2025-2026 schedule for comedies.
The single-camera cheerleading pilot 'Stumble' is a strong contender for a series pickup.
'The Paper', a 'The Office' spin-off, is being considered for a run on NBC.
'The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins' starring Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe, was already ordered to series.
An untitled project from the 'Rutherford Falls' team has just finished its pilot.
