After yet another weak finish to a season that began with so much promise, NBC is looking to improve its prime-time fortunes by holding back much of its new development slate for 2016.

The network on Sunday announced that it would open the 2015-16 campaign with five new scripted series, while keeping a collection of eight other newbies stashed away for later in the season. Among the freshman shows that will debut outside of the fall window are Dick Wolf’s “Chicago Med,” the Jennifer Lopez cop drama “Shades of Blue” and a reboot of the 1989-97 ABC sitcom “Coach.”

“The fall lineup gives you only half the story,” said Jennifer Salke, President, NBC Entertainment. “We truly program on a 52-week basis and are putting virtually the same amount of programming muscle behind our mid-season lineup.”
