Dateline Season 35 will premiere on Friday, September 25 at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT on NBC as the long-running true-crime newsmagazine hits another milestone. The new season is also set to include a new format change, with more two-hour episodes in store for viewers.
And the premiere itself will be an all-new, two-hour installment reported by Josh Mankiewicz. The longer pilot episode sets the tone for a season expected to better allow major investigations to unfold, though the exact case or story has not been widely revealed.
The new format for Season 35 has also become a talking point. According to Lester Holt, the audience has reacted positively to the longer episodes of the show, encouraging the team to add more of them. He shared during an interview with People Magazine that:
"I think we’re going to be seeing more two-hour Datelines, which we know the audience really likes."
This means that viewers will get more detailed coverage of complex cases that have different people involved, investigative developments, interviews, and unexpected turns. Dateline's core identity and idea remain the same. It's just that viewers will get longer episodes now.
Complete details on Season 35 are mentioned below!
Dateline Season 35 release date, time, and release schedule explained
The season opener arrives on September 25 at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT on NBC. Josh Mankiewicz is set to report on the two-hour premiere, although the specific case has not been revealed yet.
The regular Friday-night slot will continue, with many longer installments expected to run from approximately 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET. The exact schedule for the rest of the season is still developing.
As mentioned before, viewers' response and the show's reception are the reason why there are two-hour episodes in Dateline Season 35. New episodes are expected to stream on Peacock the day after their NBC broadcast.
Dateline Season 35 team and what to expect
Lester Holt is still the main host of the show. Other contributors include Andrea Canning, Josh Mankiewicz, Keith Morrison, Dennis Murphy, and Blayne Alexander.
The team recently appeared on TODAY to reveal details about the new season, like the two-hour episodes, investigations, and the storytelling method utilized in the show.
The subject of the show remains the same as it involves true-crime mysteries, missing person cases, investigations, and stories about people related to them. Holt added during the same interview:
"We’re going to be pretty busy. We’ll acknowledge [Season] 35... But we’re excited about next season."
Longer episodes in Dateline Season 35 are more suitable for complex cases with many updates or complicated investigation histories, as they give more time for interviews and evidence.
Having aired since 1992, Dateline is entering its 35th season as NBC's longest-running primetime newsmagazine. Season 35 therefore combines the program's established investigative style with a greater emphasis on feature-length storytelling.
