'Sunset P.I.' Comedy Sets Release Date At NBC; First Photos

NBC has slotted Monday, February 8 for the premiere of Sunset P.I., its new comedy series starring Jake Johnson, Jane Levy and Keith David. We’re also getting a first look in some just-released photos which you can see above and below.

Sunset P.I. will follow 8 p.m.’s St. Denis Medical and take over the timeslot currently occupied by The Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins, which will wrap its second season in mid-January.

Created by Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici, Sunset P.I. is a 10-episode single-camera workplace comedy following 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 trying to pretend he’s not. Mickey is a private investigator 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 main PIs. Shalaby plays Raya, who also works at the PI Agency. Levy portrays Faye, a smart and resourceful investigative journalist and a force of nature.

Goor and Tredici spoke about Sunset P.I. earlier this year at the network’s Backlot Press Day in Los Angeles, saying they were inspired by the hit 80s dramedy series Moonlighting and the critically acclaimed HBO Max medical drama series The Pitt.

Goor and Tredici serve as co-creators, writers and executive producers. Akiva Schaffer executive produces and directs the pilot. Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, is the studio.

Episodes will be available to stream next day on Peacock.
