Parenthood On Sick Leave... Mercy Starts September

Start of production on NBC Universal’s new series “Parenthood” has been postponed for eight weeks due to medical evaluation that valued cast member Maura Tierney is undergoing. The top priority for NBC, Universal Media Studios and Imagine Television is the well-being of Ms. Tierney. We are unable to release further details and ask that you respect her privacy at this time.

Due to these circumstances, NBC's new drama series “Mercy” will premiere in the fall. Details on changes to NBC's fall premiere dates will be forthcoming.
