Overview
- NBC added pilots for an untitled buddy comedy starring Katey Sagal and Jane Lynch and for "Newlyweds," a later-in-life romance from writer Gail Lerner.
- Sagal and Lynch play Ginger and Jill, longtime best friends and fellow therapists, in a story loosely inspired by real-life therapists Pepper Schwartz and Janet Lever, who serve as consulting producers.
- The buddy comedy comes from writer Kari Lizer with executive producers including Sagal, Lynch and Krista Vernoff, and it is produced by Paramount Television Studios.
- "Newlyweds" has no cast yet, with Jamie Lee Curtis among executive producers alongside Eric and Kim Tannenbaum and Scott Schwartz, produced by Lionsgate Television with Universal Television as the studio.
- With the new orders, NBC is evaluating eight pilots for 2026–27 — three comedies and five crime-centered dramas — alongside a separate workplace comedy pilot from Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici at Universal Television.
