David Boreanaz’s ROCKFORD FILES Reboot Sets Premiere Date
Jim Rockford has a working hotline again, and actor David Boreanaz’s THE ROCKFORD FILES now has a January 2027 premiere date on NBC.
“My attitude is ‘I want to make James Garner proud’ while still doing my own take on the character,” Boreanaz told Variety in June, explaining how he approached the role originated by actor James Garner.
Now viewers can put a date beside that promise. NBC will air a special preview of the premiere episode Saturday, Jan. 2, 2027, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, immediately after its NFL telecast. Its regular Thursday slot starts Jan. 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, with episodes available the next day on Peacock.
For longtime viewers, though, the first invitation back is not just a calendar reminder — it is a phone number. NBC has launched (760) JIM-ROCK, a promotional hotline where callers can hear a message from Boreanaz and sign up for text updates about the show.
The idea borrows from the original series’ familiar answering-machine opening, giving a distinctly old-school detective a way to reach viewers before his first new case.
