NBC announced on May 11 it will begin its fall season with three new comedies and two new dramas, and that the shows “Parks and Recreation” and “Parenthood” will end their runs in the 2014-15 season.

Series not returning include the comedy “Community,” which ran for five seasons; the second-season drama “Revolution;” the first-season comedy “The Michael J. Fox Show;” and, the dramas “Believe” and “Crisis” and the comedy “Growing Up Fisher.” They all premiered at midseason.

Of the six series that premiered last fall on NBC, only the drama “The Blacklist” will return for a second season. Two series that premiered at midseason will return for second seasons, the drama “Chicago P.D.” and the comedy “About a Boy.”

NBC has two new fall dramas, including”Constantine,” based on the DC Comics series “Hellblazer.” It stars Matt Ryan as “a seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult” who seeks to save the daughter of one his oldest friends (Lucy Griffiths) after she is targeted by demons, according to NBC.

The other is “The Mysteries of Laura,” which stars “Will & Grace” alumna Debra Messing as a New York Police Department homicide detective who attempts to balance her career with her family life: two unruly twin boys and a soon-to-be-ex-husband (Josh Lucas).

“State of Affairs” will premiere Nov. 17. It is a drama starring former “Grey’s Anatomy” cast member Katherine Heigl as a top CIA analyst who assembles the president’s daily briefing and is determined to bring the terrorists who killed her fiance to justice. It will replace “The Blacklist” at 10 p.m. Mondays.

“The Blacklist” will return Feb. 1 with an episode following NBC’s broadcast of Super Bowl XLIX, then move to Thursdays at 9 p.m. beginning Feb. 5.

NBC’s new fall comedies are:
– “A to Z,” the story of a couple — Adam (Ben Feldman) and Zelda (Cristin Milioti) — and all that happened from the day they met;
– “Bad Judge,” which stars former “Private Practice” and “Grey’s Anatomy” star Kate Walsh as a tough Los Angeles criminal court judge with a reputation for unorthodox behavior in the courtroom and whose wild personal life may be changed by an 8-year-old boy whose parents she both sentenced to prison. The series’ producers include Will Ferrell and his movie producing
partner Adam McKay; and
– “Marry Me,” about a couple (Ken Marino and Casey Wilson) who decided to hold off on becoming engaged “until they can do it right,” according to NBC.

NBC’s fall prime-time schedule will consist of eight hours of drama, four hours each of competition and sports programming, three hours of reruns, two hours of comedy and one hour of news.

Here is NBC’s fall schedule:

Sunday: “Football Night in America” and “NBC Sunday Night Football”

Monday: “The Voice” and “Blacklist”

Tuesday: “The Voice,” “Marry Me,” “About a Boy,” and “Chicago Fire”

Wednesday:  ”The Mysteries of Laura,” “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” and “Chicago P.D.”

Thursday: “The Biggest Loser,” “Bad Judge,” “A to Z,” and “Parenthood”

Friday:  ”Dateline NBC,” “Grimm,” and “Constantine.”

Saturday: Reruns
