NBC is going comedy-free on Thursday nights with an all-drama lineup

Deadline

The network unveiled a spring schedule that eliminates comedy from the night once known as "Must See TV." On April 1, Manifest will take over the 8 p.m. timeslot currently occupied by Mr. Mayor and Superstore. It will be followed by Law & Order: SVU and Law & Order: Organized Crime. According to Deadline's Nellie Andreeva, "this is the first time NBC has aired an ongoing drama series in the Thursday 8 pm hour; the previous time the network took comedies off the night completely was during the 2015-16 season when several limited series aired in the 8 pm time slot, The Slap, Heroes Reborn and You, Me and the Apocalypse, as well as unscripted series Strong.'"
