A remake of “Quantum Leap” and singing competition “The Voice” are returning to NBC’s fall schedule, one of them after a nearly 30-year absence.
And just one other new series is joining NBC’s fall schedule, announced Monday ahead a presentation to advertisers by parent Comcast.
“Quantum” stars Raymond Lee as Dr. Ben Seong, a scientist (still) trapped in a time warp after a government experiment. Scott Bakula played the similar lead role of Samuel Beckett in the original hit 1989-93 NBC series. The new version will get the plum post-“Voice” spot Monday, 10 EDT/PDT.
“Voice,” which aired only one edition this season for the first time since its 2011 premiere, will add a new coach, singer Camila Cabello, joining Gwen Stefani, John Legend and Blake Shelton. Kelly Clarkson, a “Voice” regular who has her own daytime talk show, will sit out at least the fall season. (This spring’s replacement, the Eurovision-inspired “American Song Contest,” was a failure.)

Last fall’s sci-fi hit “La Brea” returns for a second season on Tuesdays, along with the final season of hospital drama “New Amsterdam.” Wednesday and Thursday lineups remain intact, with six shows produced by Dick Wolf: “Chicago Med,” “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D.” on Wednesdays, and the revived “Law & Order,” “Law & Order: SVU” and “Law & Order: Organized Crime” on Thursdays.
In November, “Lopez vs. Lopez,” a “working-class family comedy” starring comedian George Lopez, will premiere on Fridays, joined by Dwayne Johnson’s returning “Young Rock.”
For midseason, NBC is remaking yet another 1980s series, comedy “Night Court,” with Melissa Rauch (“The Big Bang Theory”) and original cast member John Larroquette, who will return to his role as prosecutor Dan Fielding from the 1984-92 series.
Also back later in the 2022-23 season: “The Blacklist,” “American Auto” and “Grand Crew.” But “This Is Us” ends its six-season run this month, and “The Endgame,” “Kenan,” “Mr. Mayor” and “Ordinary Joe” were canceled after brief stays.
Fox: Still in talks for ‘9-1-1,’ ‘The Resident’ renewals
Fox, also presenting its new shows to advertisers Monday, has not set a fall schedule, in part due to continued negotiations over the renewals of rescue drama “9-1-1” and medical series “The Resident.” (Fox chief Charlie Collier says “we feel good” about the likelihood they’ll return.)
For now, the network is adding three new scripted dramas: “Monarch,” a soap set in the world of country music, starring Susan Sarandon (delayed from this season); “Accused,” an anthology series from producers of “24” and “House” in which viewers deduce a new courtroom defendant’s crime through flashbacks; and “Alert,” a drama set in the Los Angeles Police Department’s missing-persons unit. Two new animated series, also on tap, are “Grimsburg,” starring Jon Hamm, and “Krapopolis,” from Dan Harmon (“Rick and Morty”). Competition series “Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars” will join the lineup, and the returning “Next Level Chef” will follow Fox’s Super Bowl coverage in February.
Among on-the-fence series, “Call Me Kat” and “Welcome to Flatch” will return; “Pivoting” and “Our Kind of People” won’t.
