NBC’s New Series for 2026–27 Season
‘The Traitors: New Blood‘
In “The Traitors: New Blood,” contestants travel to a secluded Scottish castle to compete in challenges that could earn them a prize pot worth up to $250,000.
Unbeknownst to them, host Alan Cumming secretly designates several players as “Traitors,” whose mission is to manipulate the game and eliminate their rivals. The remaining “Faithful” contestants must identify the Traitors before they are picked off one by one.
‘Line of Fire’
Synopsis: “A family of law enforcement agents bridges personal differences and crosses professional boundaries as they tackle cases for the FBI, US Marshals, Secret Service, and Department of Justice. After a seemingly cut-and-dry case turns into a deadly conspiracy, they must use the expertise from a lifetime of protecting civilians and politicians to protect one another and bring the killer to justice … even if it means betraying their sworn code.”
‘Newlyweds’
The show, which stars Téa Leoni and Tim Daly as the happy couple, is described as “a later-in-life love story about a free-spirited woman and a buttoned-up professor who marry impetuously after a whirlwind courtship,” per NBC.
