So Many Funny Shows Are Coming to NBC This Fall and We're Already in Stitches

Based on the 2010 book The Council of Dads by Bruce Feiler, this drama series revolves around Scott Perry, a father who discovers he has cancer and decides to team up with his wife and six of their good friends to determine what fatherly wisdom they can pass on from Scott to his children after his death. The Walking Dead's Sarah Wayne Callies stars in the series as Scott's wife, Robin Perry, with Doubt creators Joan Rater and Tony Phela producing.

Created by Schitt's Creek co-creator and star Dan Levy, this sitcom tells the story of new empty-nesters Dave and Rebecca who are ready to enjoy life after raising their children — until Dave's parents announce that they are broke and in need of a place to stay. The Mindy Project's Adam Pally and Odd Mom Out actress Abby Elliot costar as Dave and Rebecca, with The Nanny's Fran Drescher and Wings alum Steven Weber playing Dave's overbearing parents Linda and Stew.

Inspired by the bestselling crime novel by Jeffery Deaver, The Bone Collector, this drama series follows a young female NYPD officer named Amelia Sachs and a quadriplegic ex-forensic criminalist named Lincoln Rhyme who team up to solve cases together. Russell Hornsby (best known as Edward "Eddie" Sutton on ABC Family's Lincoln Heights) plays Lincoln, with Arielle Kebbel (also known as Alexia "Lexi" Branson from The Vampire Diaries) costarring as Amelia and The Sopranos actor Michael Imperioli appearing as NYPD detective Rick Sellitto.

Long-running SNL cast member Kenan Thompson stars in this family sitcom as the titular Kenan, a newly widowed dad struggling to raise his two daughters on his own (while also grudgingly accepting the assistance of his persistent father-in-law, who's played by veteran actor Andy Garcia). The show is written by Superstore writer Jackie Clarke, with Thompson, Chris Rock, and SNL creator Lorne Michaels serving as executive producers.
