ABC Announces Mid-Season Lineup

Spoilers


Press Release
ABC has announced its midseason lineup, including highly anticipated return dates for The Rookie and Will Trent, along with the debut of the new Tim Allen/Kat Dennings sitcom Shifting Gears.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Only Murders in the Building Season 2 will air on Thursdays for a limited time, as 9-1-1, Doctor Odyssey, and Grey’s Anatomy go on hiatus after their November 21 fall finales, returning March 6.

The Rookie and Will Trent, off the air since May 21, will each come back with 18-episode seasons in January, running nearly uninterrupted. “The Rookie and Will Trent are two of the cornerstones of our schedule,” said Disney Television Group president Craig Erwich.

The Conners will begin its farewell episodes in March.

Both The Rookie and Will Trent have been off the air since May 21, though when they do return, it will be for 18-episode seasons running nearly uninterrupted (save for a possible presidential address, we hear).

“The Rookie and Will Trent are two of the cornerstones of our schedule,” Craig Erwich, president, Disney Television Group, told TVLine of the decision to hold both for midseason. “It felt like the best way to platform those shows for success was to launch them in January, when we have this huge promotional platform in New Years Rockin’ Eve as well as college sports and Christmas programming.”
