NBC Sets Feb. 8 Premiere for Jake Johnson Comedy ‘Sunset P.I.’

The move positions a single‑camera PI workplace comedy from Brooklyn Nine‑Nine creators to shore up NBC’s Monday lineup with next‑day streaming on Peacock.

Overview

  • NBC announced on November 13 that Sunset P.I. will debut Monday, February 8, 2027 at 8:30/7:30c with episodes available the next day on Peacock.
  • The series is a single‑camera workplace comedy that follows Mickey Wilder, a private investigator in Hollywood, and it stars Jake Johnson alongside Jane Levy, Keith David, Langston Kerman and Mary Shalaby.
  • Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici co-created and executive produce the show, Akiva Schaffer directed the pilot and serves as an executive producer, and Universal Television is producing a 10‑episode first season.
  • NBC scheduled Sunset P.I. to follow new episodes of St. Denis Medical and to take the timeslot vacated by The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, a placement that signals network confidence in the series to anchor Monday comedy.
  • First‑look photos and promotional images were released with the scheduling news, and creators say the show shares some DNA with Brooklyn Nine‑Nine while existing in its own universe, a detail that keeps open guest‑appearance crossovers and shapes fan expectations.
