NBC Adds 'The Paper' and 'Stumble' to November Lineup Under Expanded Windowing Plan

The move reflects NBCUniversal's cross-platform push to broaden reach for Peacock series.

Overview

  • The Paper begins a broadcast run on Monday, Nov. 10, paired with St. Denis Medical after a two-episode premiere for St. Denis the week prior.
  • Stumble debuts Friday, Nov. 7, following Happy’s Place to create a family-friendly comedy block.
  • Peacock renewed The Paper for Season 2 ahead of its Sept. 4 binge release, and NBCU says it delivered the streamer’s second-biggest comedy premiere behind Ted.
  • NBCU executives outlined a multi-bucket approach to windowing that includes limited promo runs, full linear windows for streaming originals, and migration of linear shows to streaming.
  • As part of the strategy, Law & Order: Organized Crime returns to NBC this fall, while The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins shifts to midseason to align with the network’s February sports slate.
