'The New Normal' Preview To Follow 'The Voice' Premiere Instead of 'Grimm'

A The New Normal series preview will replace the episode of Grimm that was scheduled to air after the September 10 premiere of The Voice.

NBC had originally planned to run a new episode of Grimm after the season 3 premiere of The Voice, but has annouced they will air a series preview of their new comedy The New Normal instead.  The New Normal will also air a new episode at its regularly scheduled day and time on Tuesday, September 11 at 9:30ET and then again on Wednesday, with an encore of the series preview, which will air at 10:30ET.

After a temporary stint on Mondays, Grimm was already slated to return to Fridays, so the next new episode is expected to run Friday September 28.

Kind of a bummer having to wait that long for new Grimm episodes, but not entirely unexpected based on the episode preview that ran this week.  Looks like NBC is really banking on The New Normal being their breakout new comedy this season.  In addition to the preview after the voice, NBC also made the pilot available online.

These days, families come in all forms – single dads, double moms, sperm donors, egg donors, one-night-stand donors… It's 2012 and anything goes. Bryan (Andrew Rannells, "Girls," "The Book of Mormon") and David (Justin Bartha, "The Hangover") are a Los Angeles couple and they have it all. Well, almost. With successful careers and a committed, loving partnership, there is one thing that this couple is missing: a baby. And just when they think the stars will never align, enter Goldie (Georgia King, "One Day"), an extraordinary young woman with a checkered past. A midwestern waitress and single mother looking to escape her dead-end life and small-minded grandmother (Emmy and Tony Award-winner Ellen Barkin), Goldie decides to change everything and move to L.A. with her precocious eight year-old daughter. Desperate and broke – but also fertile – Goldie quickly becomes the guys' surrogate and quite possibly the girl of their dreams. Surrogate mother, surrogate family.

Ryan Murphy serves as creator/executive producer and director along with creator/executive producer Ali Adler ("Glee," "Chuck") and executive producer Dante Di Loreto ("Glee," "American Horror Story"). "The New Normal" is produced by 20th Century Fox Television and Ryan Murphy Productions.
