NBC renewed This Is Us for three seasons.

Thursdays are comedy: Superstore, new comedy Perfect Harmony, about finding inspiration in strange places and starring Bradley Whitford and Anna Camp, The Good Place and new comedy Sunnyside, starring Kal Penn and produced by Michael Schur. Law & Order: SVU is on at 10.

Fridays are The Blacklist and two hours of Dateline.

Sunnyside is about a disgraced New York City Councilman turned champion for a diverse group of hopefuls who dream of becoming American citizens.

Sundays feature Sunday Night Football, with 19 games.

We came into this season from the vantage point of extreme stability, but without any complacency, said George Cheeks and Paul Telegdy, co-chairmen, NBC Entertainment. Our 52-week schedule takes into account the seismic shift in viewing habits, balancing short-term wins with long-term potential. Comedy is at the heart of the NBC brand, and we've picked up four new comedies that we think viewers will love for generations to come. Our new dramas will compel audiences to tune in week after week to our network while also delivering binge-worthy storylines, and our unparalleled alternative programs continue to delight audiences of all ages, providing enviable launch pads for many of our new shows.
