NBC Sets February 8 Premiere for Comedy Sunset P.I.

NBC has set Monday, February 8 as the premiere date for Sunset P.I., a new comedy that will take over a timeslot now held by The Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins, according to Deadline.

The show is a 10-episode series. It is a single-camera comedy, which means it is shot with one camera and without a live studio audience, in the style of a film. The story follows the private investigators at Mickey Wilder's detective agency in Hollywood.

Jake Johnson plays Mickey Wilder. Jane Levy plays Faye Westlake, Keith David plays Julius Royal, Langston Kerman plays Justin Royal, and Mary Shalaby plays Raya. Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici created the series and also write and executive produce it. Akiva Schaffer is an executive producer and directed the pilot, the first episode made to show a network whether a show is worth picking up. Universal Television is the studio behind it.

The schedule has a clear order. Reggie Dinkins is set to wrap its second season in mid-January, and Sunset P.I. will move into its slot after that. The new comedy will follow St. Denis Medical on NBC's schedule, so viewers who already tune in for that show will find it in the same block.

Viewers who miss the broadcast will not have to wait long to catch up. Episodes will be available to stream on Peacock, NBC's streaming service, the next day.

NBC has also released first-look photos, which are early official pictures meant to give audiences a sense of the cast and the look of the series before it airs.

For the crew, the premiere date gives a fixed target. Ten episodes, a set of writers and a cast of five now have a known air date, and the show's schedule is set around it.
