After wildfires wrecked havoc across Los Angeles throughout the first part of 2025, producers for Sunday’s SAG Awards hope the 31st annual ceremony can be a “warm hug” for the acting community.

“It’s been such a trying beginning of the year for so many people, and I think we just want the show to be a warm hug for everyone — to be able to take a couple of hours, smile a little, have a laugh or two,” Mark Bracco, who executive produces the show along Silent House’s Baz Halpin, Linda Gierahn and Jon Brockett, told TheWrap.

Faced with the annual challenge of a Sunday lineup left bare by the end of football season, NBC’s ambitious 2025 plan to fill the night will replace the ratings juggernaut with three very different new shows: “Suits LA,” the anticipated spinoff to the cable darling turned streaming sensation; “Grosse Pointe Garden Society,” a murder-mystery dramedy with a “Desperate Housewives” flare; and “The Americas,” a nature docuseries narrated by Tom Hanks.

Rather than centering the Sunday-night lineup around one TV franchise or genre — like the “must-see TV” comedy lineup that housed hits like “Friends,” “Parks and Recreation” and “30 Rock” — NBCUniversal is betting that three diverse shows in one night will appeal to a broad audience both for the linear network and its sibling Peacock, which will stream the shows the day after premiere.
