In recent years, NBC handed out several comedy series orders. As the movie business continues to favor blockbusters and established film franchises, talented people run to television. A large number of well-scripted shows remain in the queue. It’s time to forget about “Powerless,” and “Trial & Error.” We should look forward to upcoming TV shows of NBC, including “First Dates,” “Midnight, Texas,” and “Marlon.”

‘First Dates’

Fans were eagerly waiting to know when would be the perfect time for NBC to announce the premiere date for “First Dates,” and the air date was finally announced for April 7.

Producer Ellen DeGeneres says that the show will meet the expectations of the audience. Based on a hit UK format, the series offers an authentic look at some unusual incidents that happen over one night at a restaurant in Chicago. Ellen confirms that Drew Barrymore serves as narrator on “First Dates.” We hope that “First Dates” will be a good step in Barrymore’s growing television work.

‘Marlon’

NBC announces a lineup of series including “Marlon,” “World of Dance,” “The Carmichael Show,” “The Night Shift,” and “Little Big Shots.” “Marlon” is one of the most anticipated TV shows of the year. The channel confirms that sitcom “Marlon” has Marlon Wayans in a supporting role. Tina Fey and Robert Carlock are its executive producers.

It is a story of a mother and daughter who face various problems in their lives. Briga Heelan and Andrea Martin play the leading characters.

‘Midnight, Texas’

Fans are excited because “Midnight, Texas” looks like supernatural cheese. The extended trailer for NBC’s supernatural drama makes us expect that it is about a small town filled with terrifying vampires.

It is the latest Charlaine Harris adaptation, so we have high expectations. Another trailer for “Midnight, Texas” will likely be released this Sunday. Peter Mensah plays a vampire and looks incredible in the poster. Previously, he played a vampire on “True Blood.” Other characters include pawn shop owner Bobo (Dylan Bruce), and the angel Joe (Jason Lewis).
