NBC launches two Los Angeles-based private investigator series, a drama and a comedy, drawing parallels to past network programming

NBC is launching two new private investigator series, a drama and a comedy, within weeks of each other. The network's 2026-27 lineup features a reboot of "The Rockford Files" and a new comedy, "Sunset P.I.," mirroring a similar situation from 20 years ago with "Studio 60" and "30 Rock." Both new shows star prominent actors and are set in Los Angeles, though NBC downplays the similarities and potential for crossovers.
