The additions to the diginets include Law & Order Criminal Intent, Grimm and The Laugh List.
The network announced Monday that the forthcoming sixth season of the genre drama will be its last. Set to premiere Friday, Jan. 6, at 8 p.m., the final season will feature its shortest order to date and consist of 13 episodes (each of its previous five seasons had a full 22).
Earning additional season orders for the 2015-16 television season are The Blacklist (season three), Chicago Fire (season four), Chicago PD (season three), Law & Order: SVU (season 17) and Grimm (season five), the network announced. Still waiting for word on their futures are midseason entry Hannibal, which typically is renewed over the summer; as well as NBC’s one returning comedy from last season About a Boy.
NBC has handed the expected early renewals to its stronger drama series, freshmen Revolution and Chicago Fire as well as Parenthood, Grimm and veteran Law & Order: SVU. All have received full-season, 22-episode pickups.

NBC is holding up the return of two of its most popular shows, Revolution and Grimm, until March so that it can air only new episodes for the remainder of the season.
The network also schedules a special original episode for Thursday, Dec. 8, at 10 p.m.
NBC’s Fall Season Taking Shape
