NBC orders Rockford reboot, adds four new series
NBC has ordered two new drama series, including a reboot of "The Rockford Files" starring David Boreanaz, and two new comedies for the 2026-2027 season. Separately, Warner Bros. Discovery announced that HBO Max is projected to reach 150 million subscribers by the end of the year, driven by growth in Europe and new content like a "Harry Potter" series. AMC Global Media is also in discussions for licensing rights to "The Walking Dead," with co-exclusivity being a key consideration.
Key Takeaways
- The Rockford Files reboot stars David Boreanaz; Mike Daniels is executive producer, with Carl Beverly, Sarah Timberman, and Chris Leanza also attached.
- Line of Fire follows a family of law enforcement agents and stars Peter Krause, Kat Cunning, Tommy O’Brien, Taylor Bloom, and Charlie Barnett.
- NBC’s two comedies are Newlyweds, starring Tea Leoni and Tim Daly with Jamie Lee Curtis recurring, and Sunset P.I., starring Jake Johnson.
- NBC said it picked up four new series total for the 2026-2027 season: two dramas and two comedies.
Why It Matters
NBC is adding four new scripted series at once, with two dramas and two comedies entering the 2026-2027 season slate. The mix includes a recognizable IP play in The Rockford Files and a new law-enforcement drama in Line of Fire, giving NBC both brand familiarity and fresh entries. For the broader TV ecosystem, this is another reminder that legacy networks are still using reboots and star-led casts to build their lineups. What to watch next is which of these four titles get premiere dates, since the article only says they are ordered for the upcoming season.
