Comedy ‘Sunset PI’ Sets Release Date on NBC; First photos

NBC has scheduled the premiere of Sunset PI., his new comedy series with Jake Johnson, Jane Levy and Keith David. We also have a first look at some recently released photos which you can see above and below.

Sunset PI will follow 8 p.m. St-Denis Medical and resume the time slot currently occupied by The rise and fall of Reggie Dinkins, which will end its second season in mid-January.

Created by Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici, Sunset PI is a 10-episode single-camera workplace comedy that follows Mickey Wilder (Johnson) and the other private investigators at his Hollywood detective agency.

Langston Kerman and Mary Shalaby also star.

The comedy centers on Mickey Wilder (Johnson), who is smart, cynical and heartbroken, but tries to pretend he’s not. Mickey is a private detective with a knack for solving cases and a former LAPD cop whose life imploded three years ago.

David plays Mickey’s boss, Julius Royal, who runs the agency where his son Justin (Kerman) and Mickey are the lead investigators. Shalaby plays Raya, who also works at the PI agency. Levy plays Faye, a smart and resourceful investigative journalist and force of nature.

Goor and Tredici spoke Sunset PI earlier this year at the network’s Backlot Press Day in Los Angeles, claiming to have been inspired by the hit ’80s drama series Undeclared work and the critically acclaimed HBO Max medical drama series The Pitt.

Goor and Tredici are co-creators, writers and executive producers. Akiva Schaffer is producing and directing the pilot. Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, is the studio.

Episodes will be available to stream the next day on Peacock.
