    "articleBody": "Jake Johnson is going back to network comedy as a down-on-its-luck Hollywood gumshoe. NBC has set Sunset P.I., the new workplace comedy from Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-creators Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici, to premiere on Monday, February 8, 2027, at 8:30 p.m. Eastern and Pacific, with each episode streaming on Peacock the next day. The network released the date alongside first-look photos on November 13. The first season runs 10 episodes, according to NBC’s announcement. Who is in Sunset P.I. Johnson, best known as Nick Miller on New Girl and the voice of Peter B. Parker in the Spider-Verse films, plays Mickey Wilder, one of a team of private investigators at a Hollywood detective agency that has seen better days. He is joined by: Jane Levy, from Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist and Suburgatory, who plays Faye; Keith David, the three-time Emmy winner from The Thing and They Live, as agency figure Julius Royal; Langston Kerman, the comedian behind Peacock’s Bust Down; Mary Shalaby, a stand-up comic making her first move into television. Akiva Schaffer of The Lonely Island, the trio behind the Saturday Night Live Digital Shorts, directed the pilot and is an executive producer on it. The show is made by Universal Television and shot in Los Angeles. Moonlighting meets Brooklyn Nine-Nine The creators have been open about the formula. Del Tredici told reporters at NBC’s backlot press day in August that the show is “loosely inspired” by Moonlighting, the 1985 Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis detective series, while also being “a hard comedy and an ensemble workplace in the way that Brooklyn Nine Nine is and Parks and Rec.” Goor was even blunter about his two leads: “The chemistry between Jake and Jane is unbelievable. It’s hard to watch, but in a good way.” NBC’s own logline, released when the series was ordered in May, leans into the joke. It says the show continues the tradition of Los Angeles private eyes that began with Philip Marlowe “and will end with this show.” Why the date matters February 8 is a Monday, so the comedy slots into NBC’s Monday night lineup, the same night that currently carries St. Denis Medical and The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins at 8 and 8:30. NBC first told advertisers in May that Sunset P.I. would arrive in February; the gap between that order and the premiere works out to about nine months, on Badiyaa’s count, a typical runway for a midseason network comedy. It is part of a bigger push by NBC as it marks its 100th anniversary. The network ordered four new series for the 2026-27 season, including David Boreanaz’s take on The Rockford Files, another Los Angeles private-eye story, which arrives in January. NBC has also been leaning on big live events this season, from Alan Jackson’s final Nashville concert special on December 8 to its three-hour anniversary celebration on December 10.

New Girl ran for seven seasons, and he has spent the years since mostly in films and streaming, including the thriller Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed. His new show opens on NBC on February 8.
