‘Superstore’ & ‘Connecting’ Move Back A Week In Latest NBC Schedule Shuffle

Superstore and pandemic comedy Connecting are moving back a week as NBC continues to shuffle its fall schedule.

Superstore will return on Thursday, October 29, having previously been dated for 8 p.m. October 22, while Connecting, which was originally set for at 8:30 p.m. Thursday, October 1. will move to October 8.

This comes 24 hours after NBC moved up the Season 5 premiere of This Is Us, with the family drama now launching with a two-hour bow on October 27.

The sixth season of Superstore will see the exit of star America Ferrera. However, the actress will guest star in the first two episodes of the season after the COVID-19 production shutdown meant that only one half of her two-part finale aired. In addition to appearing in the season opener, as she says goodbye to her colleagues, she also will return for the second episode.
