NBC will premiere its next medical drama "Heartbeat," starring Melissa George, this spring after the show was pushed off the fall schedule to accommodate the actress' pregnancy.
George plays the world-renowned heart transplant surgeon, Alex Panttiere. The story of "Heartbeat" is inspired by the real life and achievements of Dr. Kathy Magliato.
Between Dr. Penttiere's hectic hospital life where she is caught between two brilliant but stubborn surgeons (Dave Annable and Don Hany) and her household of two kids and a gay rock star ex-husband (Joshua Leonard), Alex is constantly striving to overcome numerous obstacles and be the best mother and doctor possible.
Premiering on Wednesday, March 23, "Heartbeat" also stars Jamie Kennedy, D.L. Hughley, Shelley Con, Maya Erskine and JLouis Mills. A preview will air after "The Voice" on Tuesday, March 22 at 9 p.m.
The Peacock network will also debut the drama "Game of Silence" about a successful attorney (David Lyons) whose dark secret from childhood comes back to haunt him 25 years later. The show premieres on Thursday, April 7.
On the comedy side, NBC will premiere "Crowded" on Sunday, March 20, with two preview episodes on Tuesday, March 15 at 10 p.m. Empty-nest parents Mike and Martina (Patrick Warburton and Carrie Preston) finally have the house to themselves again after 20 years until their grown daughters (Miranda Cosgrove and Mia Serafino) move back and Mike's parents (Stacy Keach and Carlease Burke) decide to stick around town instead of retiring in Florida.
