Because most of the network TV programming is on the air right now all major season finals (and series finales, for those who weren’t lucky enough to avoid the carnage of cancellation), the same broadcasters are confirming their fall lineups so viewers can already start anticipating when returning fan-favorites and exciting new projects will premiere. With Disney taking charge of the network on May 17 in advance, it makes sense that ABC revealed what its fall 2022 schedule will be like, and it includes updates for The beginner Spinoff starring Niecy Nash, The Conners season 5, big sky Season 3 and more, not to mention an ongoing one Danger! spin off!
Let’s take a look at what ABC viewers can expect as the fall TV season kicks off, starting with the first three days of the work week.
Monday
- Bachelor in Paradise – 8pm
- The Good Doctor – 10 p.m
Tuesday
- Bachelor in Paradise – 8pm
- The Rookie: Feds – 10pm (New Show)
Wednesday
- The Conners – 8pm (new time)
- The Goldbergs – 8:30pm
- Abbott Elementary School – 9pm (New Night)
- Housekeeping – 9:30 p.m
- Big Sky – 10pm (New Night)
While with Bachelor Nation, there was initially some fan concern over whether or not Bachelors in paradise would return for Season 8, Fun in the Sun will indeed once again be taking over both Monday and Tuesday nights on ABC. ABC also confirmed that the next season of The bachelor will be part of the midseason schedule when 2023 begins. (How do you want american idolfor those wondering why it’s not part of Monday night’s celebrations.)
Tuesday evenings will mark the strange pairing of Bachelors in paradise leads to the split The Beginner: Federal Agencies, which surprisingly won’t be paired with Nathan Fillion’s flagship series on Sunday night. Considering how CBS’ FBI Universe and NBC’s Chicago dramas and law & order Franchises each have focused nights, not to mention ABC’s of their own train station 19 and Grey’s anatomy Sharing a Thursday night universe, I fully expected the network to find a way to couple the two Beginner series, but no.
Wednesday nights mark more big changes, with The Conners Taking primetime anchorage with Season 5, as The Goldbergs Season 10 will take the place previously held by The Wonderful Years. (No signs of what’s to come on that front the aftermath of Fred Savage’s dismissal.) Then came the outbreak Abbott Elementary School takes over the conners‘ former place for his second seasonresulting in an unchanged housekeepingwith the twisted drama big sky Taking on the post-comedy time slot.
And now for the rest of the week!
Thursday
- Train station 7pm – 8pm
- Grey’s Anatomy – 9pm
- Alaska – 10pm (New Show)
Friday
- Shark Tank – 8pm
- 8/8pm – 9pm
Sunday
- America’s Funniest Home Videos – 7pm
- Celebrity Danger! – 8pm (New Show)
- Celebrity Wheel of Fortune – 9pm
- The Beginner – 10 p.m
There are fewer highlights to focus on to get into ABC’s fall schedule, with Thursday nights featuring the expected pairing train station 19 and Grey’s anatomy, fortunately both premiere again at the same time. Take big skyThe earlier time window of is Alaskathe new journalistic drama starring Hilary Swank, created by headlightis Tom McCarthy.
Fridays and Saturdays are the same as always, with college football taking over the early weekend. Then trivia fans can look forward to the debut of on Sunday evening Celebrity Danger! the series that will be paired with the already popular one Celebrity Wheel of Fortuneprobably earlier Celebrity Family Quarrel comes back for his new season. For now, however, ABC hasn’t answered what will probably be the biggest question on everyone’s mind: who will be hosting it? I hope they find a way to attach to it SNL with Kenan Thompson or Will Ferrell instead of just going with Mayim Bialik or Ken Jennings.
More details will be announced on all of these ABC Shows and more, most of which are available to stream next day for those with Hulu subscriptions.
