Summary

New NBC pilots may lead to cancellations of current shows.
Sitcoms and hour-long dramas are potentially at risk.
One Chicago and Law & Order: SVU are predicted safe.

NBC is exploring new pilot orders, raising questions about the future of its current scripted programming. Pilots for 'The Rockford Files' reboot starring David Boreanaz and a new FBI project with Emily Deschanel are in development. Additionally, Peter Krause is attached to star in 'Protection,' a law enforcement drama, and Taylor Schilling will lead 'What the Dead Know,' a death investigator series from Wolf Entertainment. These hour-long dramas could necessitate cancellations to make room in the primetime schedule.

While the fate of these pilots is uncertain, some current NBC shows are considered more vulnerable. Half-hour sitcoms such as 'St. Denis Medical,' 'The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins,' 'Happy's Place,' and 'Stumble' are less likely to be canceled due to their shorter format. However, hour-long series 'Brilliant Minds,' which was recently pulled from the schedule, and 'The Hunting Party' are potential candidates for cancellation. The network's popular 'One Chicago' block (Chicago Med, Fire, P.D.) and 'Law & Order: SVU' are widely expected to be renewed.
