NBC announced earlier today midseason dramas “The Cape” (following its two-hour premiere on Sunday, January 9) and “Harry’s Law” would assume the network’s Monday, 9:00/8:00c and 10:00/9:00c slots, respectively, beginning January 17.

The Peacock also revealed “The Event” would return Monday, February 28 at 9:00/8:00c (with a two-hour broadcast) while “Parenthood” would shift to Mondays at 10:00/9:00c beginning March 7.

Nevertheless, despite what appears to be abbreviated runs – eight episodes of “The Cape,” six of “Harry’s Law” – NBC sources have confirmed 13 episodes have been ordered of each series.
