This afternoon, NBC announced its Fall 2013 schedule, which will kick off during the last week of September. The peacock network will kick things off with the fifth season of The Voice and the James Spader-starring drama The Blacklist.
Monday, Sept. 23 sees the start of The Voice’s new season, which has Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green back in the coach’s chairs along with Blake Shelton and Adam Levine. Green and Aguilera were replaced by Usher and Shakira this past spring, but the show continued to be a success.
NBC is still using the singing competition to bring in viewers for Blacklist, a drama that stars Spader as a super criminal who decides to help the FBI capture his colleagues for his own nefarious reasons.
After The Voice’s first Tuesday episode, Chicago Fire’s second season will start. On Wednesday, Revolution will return, along with Law & Order: SVU.
Michael J. Fox’s return to TV is set for Thursday, Sept. 26. The Michael J. Fox show will premiere with two episodes following an hour-long Parks & Recreation.
Blair Underwood’s Ironside, Grimm and Dracula have been held back for October. The two supernatural shows will both start on Halloween week.
