News is not unexpected, especially for newcomer "Heroes," which is the breakout drama hit of the fall season, No. 1 in the 18-49 demo among rookie series.
"The Office" has been a critical hit since its inception and won the Emmy as top comedy. Ratings-wise, it's up 20% from its timeslot last year in 18-49.
"These four series represent some of the best of what we consider to be the NBC brand of quality shows," said Peacock topper Kevin Reilly. "It is a pleasure to give them an early renewal to develop more stories for next year since we know they will remain both critical and commercial successes for a long time to come."
