Telly’s Take
The ratings have been solid so I’m not exactly going out on a limb when I say that NBC will renew this show, unless something unforeseen happens. In addition to doing very well for the Peacock Network, last year’s ratings rose significantly on both Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I’ll update this page as soon as the renewal becomes official.
