Oh, by the way, did we mention that his sister is adopted and he will eventually team up with her to help her find her birth mom? So much drama, so many storylines, “This Is Jack” has every chance to be a hit.
An announcement on the new spinoff can come as early as next week following the series finale. It will also be a Peacock exclusive and not on network television.
This decision was made in an effort to drive subscriptions up. They had peaked in April of 2021 with the arrival of the WWE Network, but have since dropped. NBC executives hope this will once again drive up viewership to the streaming service.
