NBC has set a premiere date for “Sunset P.I.,” a new single-camera comedy starring Jake Johnson, who previously played Nick Miller on Fox's “New Girl.” The series will debut on Monday, February 8, 2027, at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on NBC, with episodes streaming the next day on Peacock. The show takes over the time slot currently held by “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins,” which will conclude its second season at the midseason point.

The workplace comedy follows Mickey Wilder, a lovelorn Los Angeles private investigator played by Johnson, who works at a detective agency run by Julius Royal, an old-school gumshoe played by Keith David. Wilder works alongside Royal's son Justin, played by Langston Kerman, quick-witted investigator Faye, played by Jane Levy, and receptionist Raya, played by Mary Shalaby. The series' logline describes it as a story about a proud tradition of Los Angeles private eyes that began with Philip Marlowe and will end with this show. The first season is slated to run ten episodes.S1S2

The series was created, written and executive produced by Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici, both longtime sitcom veterans; Goor co-created “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” on which Del Tredici served as a writer and producer, and Del Tredici also produced the HBO series “Bored to Death.” Akiva Schaffer, who is executive producing, directed the pilot. Universal Television is the studio. The show was developed as part of NBC's most recent pilot season and was picked up to series in May as one of four new series for the 2026-2027 season.S1S2
