After cancelling many of the networks series for the first time in seasons, The CW is back with a new schedule. The new lineup consists of returning favorites, new series, and acquired programming.

Kicking off the night is returning dramas All American and All American: Homecoming. The two series pair perfectly together and will stay together.

Tuesdays kick off with new series The Winchesters. The series is a prequel spinoff of the long running series Supernatural. Following at 9 is the new acquired series Professionals.

Thursdays see Walker kick off the night again. New spinoff prequel series Walker: Independence will follow at 9.

Fridays are all unscripted this season with the return of Penn & Teller: Fool Us followed by the return of Whose Line is it Anyway? at 9.

The CW is still committing to Saturdays with new series Magic With the Stars kicking off the night. It will lead into returning World’s Funniest Animals at 9.

Sundays will see new acquired series Family Law kick off the night at 8. The fourth season of acquired medical and crime drama series Coroner will premiere at 9. The third season will air this summer on the network.

Midseason will see the returns of The Flash, Nancy Drew, Riverdale (Final Season), Superman & Lois, and Masters of Illusion, along with new series Gotham Knights and Recipe For Disaster.

Before Sam and Dean, there were their parents, John and Mary. Told from the perspective of narrator Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles, “Supernatural”), THE WINCHESTERS is the epic, untold love story of how John Winchester (Drake Rodger, “The In Between”) met Mary Campbell (Meg Donnelly, “American Housewife”) and put it all on the line to not only save their love, but the entire world. When John returns home from fighting in Vietnam, a mysterious encounter sparks a new mission to trace his father’s past. In his journey, he crosses paths with 19-year-old demon hunter Mary, who is also searching for answers after the disappearance of her own father. Together, the two join forces with young hunter-in-training Latika (Nida Khurshid, “Station 19”) and easygoing hunter Carlos (Jonathan “Jojo” Fleites) to uncover the hidden truths about both their families. Their investigation leads them to a rare book emporium, whose owner Ada (Demetria McKinney, “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne”) takes an interest to the occult and could provide the missing pieces to their puzzle. But secrets run deep for both the Winchesters and Campbells, and despite the best efforts of John’s mother Millie (Bianca Kajlich, “Legacies”) to protect her son from pursuing a dangerous life of demon hunting, John and Mary are both determined to work together to uphold their families’ legacies while beginning to form a family of their own.

PROFESSIONALS follows Vincent Corbo (Tom Welling, “Smallville,” “Parkland”), a top-tier security operative who is paid to protect the interests of rich and powerful clients by any means necessary – legal or not. After a next-gen medical-data satellite explodes on launch, Corbo is hired by the rocket’s designer, billionaire futurist Peter Swann (Brendan Fraser, “Trust,” “The Mummy”), who suspects sabotage. Complicating Corbo’s new gig is his former paramour and now Swann’s fiancée, medical visionary Dr. Grace Davila (Elena Anaya, “Wonder Woman,” “The Skin I Live In”), who is racing to help stave off a global catastrophe. As Corbo and his team of veteran security professionals investigate the rocket disaster, they expose a lethal conspiracy of Swann’s corporate rivals, corrupt government officials, and a shadowy crime syndicate – all working to destroy Swann and take control of his tech empire. Worse, Corbo must also contend with Swann’s spoiled, troublemaking teen daughter (Jazzara Jaslyn, “Lioness”) and a rogue Europol agent (Ken Duken, “Inglourious Basterds,” “Counterpart”) who is hellbent on busting him for past sins.

Set in the late 1800s, an origin story of The CW’s current hit series “Walker,” WALKER INDEPENDENCE follows Abby Walker (Katherine McNamara, “Arrow”), an affluent and tough-minded Bostonian whose husband is murdered before her eyes while on their journey out West. After crossing paths with Calian (Justin Johnson Cortez, “911: Lone Star”), a curious Apache tracker, Abby arrives in the town of Independence, Texas, where she encounters diverse and eclectic residents running from their pasts, chasing their dreams, and keeping their own secrets, including Kate Carver (Katie Findlay, “The Carrie Diaries”), an idiosyncratic burlesque dancer with perhaps too keen an interest in Abby’s origins, and Kai (Lawrence Kao, “Wu Assassins”), a soulful Chinese immigrant who runs a local restaurant/laundry and offers Abby friendship without agenda. Abby also literally runs into Hoyt Rawlins (Matt Barr, “Walker”), a slippery rogue, thief, and con artist with a dented heart of gold who quickly eyes Abby as a mark, until she turns the tables on him. In seeking justice for her husband, Abby encounters Independence’s noble deputy sheriff, Augustus (Philemon Chambers, “Single All the Way”), and his new boss, Sheriff Tom Davidson (Greg Hovanessian, “Another Life”), who she has reason to believe is a very bad man indeed. Abby and Hoyt soon find themselves precariously aligned, both seeking to uncover the truth about the identity of Abby’s husband’s killer, and vow to save Independence – a frontier boomtown where nothing is what it seems.

In each episode of MAGIC WITH THE STARS, two celebrities train with professional magicians and compete to create a show-stopping series of magic performances. The celebrity competitors are tasked with mastering three major categories of magic, which they perform in front of a team of judges led by magician Criss Angel. Only the highest-scoring celebrities will be invited back to the finale where they will compete for the golden wand.

FAMILY LAW centers around Abigail Bianchi (Jewel Staite, “Firefly”), a high-paid personal-injury lawyer who’s good at blaming others – particularly when it comes to her own problems. After Abby’s husband kicks her out of the family home because of her drinking, she goes on a bender, shows up drunk in court and pukes on a client. The law society’s punishment is swift. She’s suspended, fined, and can only practice law again if she finds a senior lawyer who is willing to take her on and mentor her for a one year probationary period. Only one man is willing to take that risk: Harry Svensson (Victor Garber, “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow”), who runs the top family law practice in the city. He also happens to be Abby’s estranged father, who left Abby and her complicated mother for his secretary when Abby was seven. Now, not only does Abby have to work for her father, she also has to work with her half siblings: Daniel (Zach Smadu, “Cardinal”), from Harry’s subsequent marriage and Lucy (Genelle Williams, “The Expanse”), from Harry’s third marriage. Thus begins the odd dynamic at Abigail’s new workplace. Abby has to try to put her shambles of a life back on track, all while dealing with family on three different levels: Other people’s families in her cases, the family she was born into, and her family: her husband and two children, all of whom she desperately wants back. Abigail not only has to prove herself in a new realm of law; she also has to work with and build relationships with a family she barely knows. Most challenging of all, she must work under the thumb of the man she’s spent a lifetime resenting.

Batman is dead, and a powder keg has ignited Gotham City without the Dark Knight to protect it. In the wake of Bruce Wayne’s murder, his adopted son Turner Hayes (Oscar Morgan, “De Son Vivant”) is framed for killing the Caped Crusader, along with the children of some of Batman’s enemies: Duela (Olivia Rose Keegan, “Days of Our Lives”), an unpredictable fighter and skilled thief who was born in Arkham Asylum and abandoned by her father, Harper Row (Fallon Smythe, “grown-ish”), a streetwise and acerbic engineer who can fix anything, and her brother Cullen Row (Tyler DiChiara, “The Virgin of Highland Park”), a clever transgender teen who is tired of being polite and agreeable. With the charismatic and hard-charging District Attorney Harvey Dent (Misha Collins, “Supernatural”) and the GCPD hot on their trail, Turner will rely on allies including his best friend and formidable coder Stephanie Brown (Anna Lore, “All American”), and unlikely Batman sidekick Carrie Kelley (Navia Robinson, “Raven’s Home”). But our Knights will soon learn there is a larger, more nefarious force at work within Gotham City. This team of mismatched fugitives must band together to become its next generation of saviors known as the GOTHAM KNIGHTS.

In each episode of RECIPE FOR DISASTER, three professional chefs and their cooking partners compete to prepare spectacular dishes under absurdly adverse conditions. Our studio transforms into a bizarre new world each week, replete with themed disasters that challenge our chefs in ways they never imagined. They will attempt the perfect sear while stranded on an in-studio “desert island” during monsoon season, prep ramen while pulling off an art heist, or create a show-stopping soufflé while dodging aliens on Mars. To make matters worse, their cooking partners are people from their lives who are total kitchen novices. Who will impress the judges, and whose dishes will succumb to the ridiculous disasters du jour? Ultimately, only one team will be crowned Masters of Disaster!

CBS has announced its newest schedule for next season. The network’s schedule feels steady and mostly the same, while shaking up a few nights.

Mondays remain the same with the lineup of The Neighborhood, Bob Hearts Abishola, NCIS, and NCIS: Hawai’i.

The FBIs stay together on Tuesdays next season with FBI, FBI: International, and FBI: Most Wanted. All three series have been renewed for two seasons.

Survivor continues to kick off Wednessdays. The Amazing Race is back in season again and will follow. New series The Real Love Boat will follow at 10, keeping the night all reality.

Thursdays comedy lineup is scaled back next season with only two sitcoms airing at 8. Young Sheldon will lead into Ghosts. New series So Help Me Todd will air at 9. CSI: Vegas moves to its new night at 10.

S.W.A.T. returns to Fridays, airing at 8. New series Fire Country will air at 9. Blue Bloods will air at 10.

Saturday encores will lead into 48 Hours.

Sundays will again kick off with 60 Minutes. The Equalizer remains at 8 leading into the new series East New York. NCIS; Los Angeles will then slide to 10.

Series held for midseason include Secret Celebrity Renovation and Tough as Nails, along with new series Lingo, Superfan and True Lies.

So Help Me Todd stars Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden and Skylar Astin as razor-sharp, meticulous attorney Margaret Wright (Harden) and Todd (Astin), her talented but scruffy, aimless son whom she hires as her law firm’s in-house investigator. As the black sheep of the well-heeled Wright family, Todd is a laid-back, quick-thinking, excellent former private detective who fell on hard times after his flexible interpretation of the law got his license revoked. Margaret’s penchant for excellence and strict adherence to the law is at complete odds with Todd’s scrappy methods of finding his way through sticky situations: by the seat of his wrinkled pants. When Todd inadvertently teams with his mother on a case, she’s surprised to find herself duly impressed by – and proud of – his crafty ability to sleuth out information with his charm and his wide-ranging tech savvy. At last, Margaret sees a way to put her son on a “suitable” path to living an adult, financially solvent life she approves of, and she asks him to join her firm. Todd agrees, since it means getting his license back and once again doing the job he excels at and loves. Mother and son working together is a big first step toward mending their fragile, dysfunctional relationship, and they may even come away with a better understanding of each other at this pivotal point in their lives. But whether Todd and Margaret will be able to accept each other for who they are is another case entirely.

Fire Country stars Max Thieriot (SEAL TEAM) as Bode Donovan, a young convict seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence by joining an unconventional prison release firefighting program in Northern California, where he and other inmates are partnered with elite firefighters to extinguish massive, unpredictable wildfires across the region. It’s a high-risk, high-reward assignment, and the heat is turned up when Bode is assigned to the program in his rural hometown, where he was once a golden all-American son until his troubles began. Five years ago, Bode burned down everything in his life, leaving town with a big secret. Now he’s back, with the rap sheet of a criminal and the audacity to believe in a chance for redemption with Cal Fire. Inspired by series star Max Thieriot’s experiences growing up in Northern California fire country.

East New York stars Amanda Warren as Deputy Inspector Regina Haywood, the newly promoted boss of the 74th Precinct, in East New York – a working-class neighborhood on the edge of Brooklyn in the midst of social upheaval and the early seeds of gentrification. With family ties to the area, Haywood is determined to deploy creative methods to protect her beloved community with the help of her officers and detectives. But first, she has the daunting task of getting them on board, as some are skeptical of her promotion, and others resist the changes she is desperate to make. Her team includes her mentor, shrewd veteran two-star Chief John Suarez (Emmy Award winner Jimmy Smits); Marvin Sandeford (Tony Award winner and current nominee Ruben Santiago-Hudson), a highly respected training officer and expert on the neighborhood; Tommy Killian (Kevin Rankin), a detective with some old-school approaches to policing; Capt. Stan Yenko (Richard Kind), Haywood’s gregarious and efficient right hand; Crystal Morales (Elizabeth Rodriguez), an intuitive detective who can’t be intimidated; Andre Bentley (Lavel Schley), a trainee from an upper middle-class background; and ambitious patrol officer Brandy Quinlan (Olivia Luccardi), the sole volunteer to live in a local housing project as part of Haywood’s plan to bridge the gap between police and community. Regina Haywood has a vision: she and the squad of the 74th Precinct will not only serve their community – they’ll also become part of it.

The Real Love Boat, inspired by the classic hit scripted series “The Love Boat,” sets sail on Princess Cruises in 2022. THE REAL LOVE BOAT brings singles together to travel the Mediterranean on a luxury cruise ship while looking for love. Destination dates, challenges and surprise singles will test the couples’ compatibility and chemistry. Like the beloved original scripted series, the indispensable crew members, including “captain” and “cruise director,” who will be selected from actual Princess crew members, will play pivotal roles in the matchmaking and navigation of the romantic (and sometimes turbulent) waters ahead. After almost a month at sea, only one winning couple will make it to the final port and take home a cash prize plus a once-in-a-lifetime trip courtesy of Princess Cruises, the series’ exclusive cruise line partner.

True Lies, inspired by James Cameron’s hit action/comedy film of the same name, follows Harry (Steve Howey), a first-class international spy for U.S. intelligence agency Omega Sector, and his wife, Helen (Ginger Gonzaga), a language professor bored with her daily routine, who makes the shocking discovery that her seemingly ordinary husband is leading an extraordinary double life. With the secret out, Omega recruits Helen, who impresses everyone with her formidable skills (thanks to Tae Bo and yoga), and she joins Harry and his team of top-notch operatives, embarking on covert missions around the globe and an exhilarating life of danger and adventure. The renewed bond between them adds much-needed sizzle to the Taskers’ emotionally distant marriage and upends the top-secret world of Omega Sector. But, as Harry says, if you’re going to save the world, you might as well do it for the ones you love.

Not Dead Yet, starring Gina Rodriguez, follows Nell Stevens (Rodriguez), a broke and newly single self-described disaster, working to restart the life and career she left behind 10 years ago.

Instead of revealing a Fall schedule today for their Upfront presentation, FOX announced the series joining the network and returning for the upcoming new season. Missing from the list are dramas 9-1-1 and The Resident which are both currently still in renewal negotiations. (Update, both have been renewed) The series set for the 2022-2023 season are:

9-1-1

Welcome to Flatch

Monarch is a Texas-sized, multi-generational musical drama about America’s first family of country music. In Monarch, the Romans are headed by the insanely talented, but tough as nails Queen of Country Music Dottie Cantrell Roman and her beloved husband, “Texas Truthteller” Albie Roman. Dottie and Albie have created a country music dynasty. But even though the Roman name is synonymous with authenticity, the very foundation of their success is a lie. And when their reign as country royalty is put in jeopardy, heir to the crown Nicolette “Nicky” Roman will stop at nothing to protect her family’s legacy, while ensuring her own quest for stardom.

Accused is a crime anthology series based on a British series. Each episode opens in a courtroom on the accused, with viewers knowing nothing about their crime or how they ended up on trial. Told from the defendant’s point of view through flashbacks, Accused holds a mirror up to the current times with evocative and emotional stories. In Accused, viewers discover how an ordinary person gets caught up in an extraordinary situation, ultimately revealing how one wrong turn leads to another, until it’s too late to turn back.

Alert is a character-driven police procedural about the LAMPU – the Los Angeles Police Department’s missing person’s unit. When police officer Nikki Parker’s son goes missing, she joins the LAPD’s Missing Person’s Unit to help other people find their loved ones, even as she searches for her own. Six years later, her world is turned upside-down when her ex-husband, Devon Zoellner, shows up with a proof-of-life photo of their missing boy. Or is it? Alert is a procedural drama with a heart-pounding, life-or-death search for a missing person in each episode, that runs alongside Nikki and Devon’s quest to find out the truth about the person claiming to be their long-lost son. It’s a case-of-the-week show with a case-of-a-lifetime story running through it – a story that alternately brings our two main characters gut-wrenching heartache and heart-pounding joy.

In Grimsburg, Marvin Flute may be the greatest detective ever to catch a cannibal clown or correctly identify a mid-century modern armoire. But there’s one mystery he still can’t crack – his family. Now that he’s back in Grimsburg, a town where everyone has a secret or three, Flute will follow every lead he’s got to redeem himself with the ex-wife he never stopped loving, even if it means hanging out with the son he never bothered to get to know.

Krapopolis is set in mythical Ancient Greece and centers on a flawed family of humans, gods and monsters that tries to run one of the world’s first cities without killing each other.

In Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars, Gordon Ramsay is prepared to put his money where his mouth is, by backing the winner with an investment to take their idea to the next level. But to win Ramsay’s support, it will take more than just a great idea. As he pushes contestants to their limits through a series of relentless challenges, they’ll have to prove they possess the raw ingredients required to succeed – drive, dedication, creativity, passion and talent. Being the last entrepreneur standing will earn the winner a life-changing reward. They just need to survive Gordon Ramsay — the only angel investor.

Fox’s Fall schedule will be announced at a later date.

NBC has announced their upcoming fall schedule for the new 2022-2023 season. Most of the network’s lineup will remain the same, with pair of new series joining the lineup.

Leading off Mondays will be returning singing competition series The Voice. The new season will see Blake Shelton, John Legend and Gwen Stefani return with new coach Camila Cabello.

New drama series Quantum Leap will air at 10. It’s been 30 years since Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished. Now a new team has been assembled to restart the project in the hopes of understanding the mysteries behind the machine and the man who created it. The series stars Raymond Lee, Caitlin Bassett, Ernie Hudson, Mason Alexander Park, and Nanrisa Lee.

Tuesdays remain the same as Fall 2021 with The Voice at 8, La Brea at 9 and the final season of New Amsterdam at 10. La Brea will be broken into two 7 episode parts, with the second likely to premiere in spring.

One Chicago Wednesdays remain the same with Chicago Med at 8, Chicago Fire at 9 and Chicago P.D. at 10.

Law & Order Thursdays remain the same as well with Law & Order at 8, Law & Order: SVU at 9 and Law & Order: Organized Crime at 10.

Fridays get a bit of a shuffle this season with Capital One College Bowl airing at 8 until comedies Lopez vs. Lopez and Young Rock take over in November. Dateline will air at 9.

Lopez vs. Lopez is a working-class family comedy about dysfunction, reconnection and all the pain and joy in between. It stars George Lopez, Mayan Lopez, Selenis Leyva, Brice Gonzalez and Matt Shively.

Drama and SNL encores will air on Saturdays with Football airing Sundays in the fall.

On slate for midseason are The Blacklist, American Auto, Grand Crew, That’s My Jam, and The Wall, with new series Night Court, The Wheel, Million Dollar Island and LA Fire and Rescue.

In Night Court, unapologetic optimist judge Abby Stone, the daughter of the late Harry Stone, follows in her father’s footsteps as she presides over the night shift of a Manhattan arraignment court and tries to bring order to its crew of oddballs and cynics, most notably former night court prosecutor Dan Fielding. The series stars Melissa Rauch, John Larroquette, India de Beaufort, Kapil Talwalkar and Lacretta.

Million Dollar Island is a high-stakes social experiment in which 100 contestants must forge friendships and build alliances as they plot to stay on a remote desert island for up to 50 days and compete to win their share of the ultimate $1 million prize. Upon arrival each contestant is given a bracelet worth $10,000. During their time on the island, contestants gain and lose bracelets through various challenges, but when a player leaves the island, they must choose who will receive their portion of the money. In this intense competition, the strength of your personal bonds are just as important as being the ultimate player.

The network also has a new holiday special Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas. NBC will also bring back Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party to celebrate the new year.

There are also still pilots in contention for midseason or the 2023-2024 season. Those include Blank Slate, Found, Irrational, Unbroken and an untitled drama from Mike Daniels.

All eyes were on the five major English broadcast networks the last few weeks as they crafted their plans and pitched their new fall lineups to the advertisers for Upfronts. For the second year in a row, they were unable to throw the big lavish events in New York City, but they were still able to provide the necessary information and pitch their best. The networks played it safe for the most part, picking up fewer new series and choosing to hold on to existing ones to keep those viewers watching their airwaves rather than the gamble of something newer and not connecting as well.

NBC

Up first was NBC. Having already renewed the bulk of their lineup, and already ordering series from last pilot season, NBC didn’t need to make many moves. The biggest surprise of the event was the announcement that This Is Us would not be on the fall schedule. This move was made in order to air as many uninterrupted episodes for the final season. This season, the show never aired more than three new episodes in a row due to filming restrictions and delays. 

One of the other biggest moves was cutting The Voice down to one cycle a season, opening up new real estate for midseason as NBC continues to solidify nights. With no comedies set for the fall schedule, all of the renewed and newly ordered comedy series will air in midseason. I wouldn’t be surprised to see comedies return to Tuesdays at 8, where returning Young Rock and Kenan aired their freshman seasons, and possibly opening a comedy block on Mondays. We will see come midseason! There will also be holiday episodes of Mr. Mayor, Young Rock and Kenan airing sometime during the holiday programming blocks. 

Wednesday’s One Chicago lineup has proved quite successful for them, and NBC continued this trend with another Dick Wolf franchise on Thursdays. Three Law & Order series will occupy the 8-11 time slots in the fall with the addition of Law & Order: For The Defense. The SVU spinoff, Organized Crime did well for NBC this season so adding a full night makes complete sense. 

New series Ordinary Joe gets The Voice lead in on Mondays, while fellow new series La Brea slides into This Is Us’s Tuesday time slot. Returning series New Amsterdam and The Blacklist remain in their existing time periods. The final season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine gets a late summer final run after The Olympics conclude.

A few bubble series are still waiting for word on their futures. Debris was just cancelled after one season, which is very disappointing as the two episodes “Do You Know Icarus?” and “I Am Icarus” were some of the best episodes of the season. Good Girls could potentially make the move to Netflix as an original series there. Additionally, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist could make the move to NBC’s own streaming service, Peacock. Lastly Manifest could return, though it’s six season laid out plan may be a stretch to reach. 

NBC still has a few pilots in contention as they shift to an off cycle pilot rollout. These include Hungry with Demi Lovato and a Night Court reboot with Melissa Rauch and returning John Larroquette. These and the others could make the midseason schedule or even the subsequent fall season.

FOX

Fox presented next with most of their returning series leading into new series. 9-1-1 will be back on Mondays, this time paired with new series The Big Leap which looks to be going for that Glee feeling of emotion mixed with music and dance. This could pay off big if it connects. 9-1-1: Lone Star will return at midseason after being paired with the original series this past season. The Resident gets paired with new soap Our Kind of People, from Lee Daniels. New Country Music series Monarch will launch on Tuesdays at midseason. A new reality series gets paired with The Masked Singer and sports dominate the rest of the schedule. 

https://youtu.be/yh-GxTzbKRw

Aside from the animated comedies returning on Sundays, there will be no live action comedy in the fall on Fox, just like NBC. This isn’t new for Fox, as last season saw the same scheduling with them launching Call Me Kat and the final season of Last Man Standing at midseason. Plus they have animated Duncanville and new series Krapopolis from Dan Harmon which could join the Sunday animated lineup or if the Monday animated block is successful this summer, could end up there again. 

Once Thursday Night Football departs at the end of the upcoming season for Amazon Prime Video, Fox will have lots of new series to potentially fill the Thursday timeslot. New series Pivoting and Welcome to Flatch could be paired with the returning Call Me Kat for a continued Thursday comedy block. New drama The Cleaning Lady could also make a debut there. 

https://youtu.be/EJNyTpO1Xbk
https://youtu.be/RzJWIGGo40U
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YmSBMlHdI4

All of Fox’s pilots have either been ordered to series or passed over. With the two straight to series orders this coming season, we could see Fox continue with a hybrid pilot/straight to series combo. The Moody’s hasn’t been cancelled officially yet, but after being pulled off the schedule, it’s inevitable once it returns for its final 3 episodes in June. Prodigal Son, which was cancelled, is also being shopped around, though it was already passed on by the most likely home, HBO Max. Chances are looking slim.

ABC

Going into Upfronts, ABC had the most moves left to make. The network renewed many of their existing series, also keeping their fall schedule mostly intact. The biggest question mark was Grey’s Anatomy. It was renewed, but not announced if it would be a final season. The show will remain with Station 19 on Thursdays, but will now be paired with Big Sky as it shifts to a new day from Tuesdays. 

The Monday pairing of Dancing With The Stars and The Good Doctor stays together, and The Bachelorette will once again be doing a fall season, leading into new buzzy drama Queens. The series follows a group of former singers who attempt a reboot of their careers. Think Girls5eva but a drama. 

https://youtu.be/3ZWaYHcPwjM

Wednesday comedies will return leading into A Million Little Things again. Home Economics will shift to 9:30 allowing The Wonder Years reboot series to take the 8:30 time slot. Black-ish will return at some point midseason for a final season. Additionally the network will have new comedies Abbott Elementary and Maggie to either join Wednesday or rejoin a Tuesday comedy block after The Bachelorette. The Sunday reality block will return leading into The Rookie with American Idol joining midseason. 

https://youtu.be/g6YpXU-ro-4
https://youtu.be/fRNZarh2I9g

The network’s midseason schedule also has a limited series called Women of the Movement. The remaining pilots which are in contention could make it on the midseason schedule once they film and get screened. They could also end up on the next fall schedule should they not have space either. Pilot season is very fluid at ABC too this year. The Bachelor and a few other reality/competition series remain on the bubble, but we’ll likely see The Bachelor return come midseason. Cancelled drama For Life is also looking at a possible move to hulu, though nothing is confirmed yet. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QJw19B-GqY

Sadly American Housewife will not be returning to wrap up the exciting cliffhanger left at the end of it’s now final episode. Also surprising was ABC cancelling rookie drama Rebel from their MVP show runner Krista Vernoff. It could have grown with a summer of streaming, but they ultimately pulled the plug. 

ABC FALL 2021 SCHEDULE

MONDAY

8-10 PM — Dancing with the Stars

10-11 PM – The Good Doctor    

TUESDAY

8-10 PM — The Bachelorette

Midseason: black-ish, American Idol, The Great Christmas Light Fight, Holey Moley, WOMEN OF THE MOVEMENT, ABBOTT ELEMENTARY, MAGGIE

CBS

Like NBC, CBS is making their own night of franchise programming. Mondays will see NCIS join the night at 9 leading into the new spinoff series, NCIS: Hawai’i. This move will allow Tuesdays to become a full night of FBI series. Kicking off the night will be the original FBI followed by new series FBI: International. FBI: Most Wanted will end the night at 10. This also means that Dick Wolf will have three consecutive nights of programming on two networks. FBI Tuesdays, Chicago Wednesdays and Law & Order Thursdays. 

https://youtu.be/zRsLc_xrNjc

Wednesdays will see the return of CSI with CSI: Vegas, a sequel series, at 10. Survivor will also return after missing a year due to the pandemic. Tough as Nails will take the 9:00 hour. Former Wednesday dramas S.W.A.T. and SEAL Team will be on the move. SEAL Team will make the move to Sundays at 10 for four episodes, before officially moving to its new home on streaming service Paramount+. S.W.A.T. will take the 8:00 on Friday time slot, and then after SEAL Team wraps on Sundays, take its 10:00 slot. 

https://youtu.be/dONxebGWFUM

Also moving to Paramount+ is the second season of Evil which was left off the schedule at CBS this past season. Clarice is also (unofficially) going to make the move to the new streaming service after one season. 

Comedies will remain on Mondays and Thursdays with Chuck Lorre having four comedies on the fall schedule. With Mom ending, he will be down one series from his record this past spring. Young Sheldon will continue leading into United States of Al. New comedy Ghosts, based off of the British series (which is great and streaming on HBO Max in the US) will lead into sophomore series B Positive. Bob Hearts Abishola and The Neighborhood will remain in their Monday time slots. 

https://youtu.be/x75-44uxWpQ

Standout series All Rise got cut this season at CBS while shows with similar behind the scenes shake ups like Bull and The Neighborhood remain, because of “better ratings”. All Rise is looking for a new home, but there’s only a slim chance at actually finding one. 

New medical drama Good Sam with Sophia Bush is the only non spinoff new drama series being held for Midseason. CBS passed on Patrick Dempsey’s series Ways and Means surprisingly, but the current political climate accounted for them passing on it. They also have new comedy Smallwood for midseason which looks like it should fit in perfectly with their usual comedies. 

CBS FALL 2021 SCHEDULE

MONDAY

8-8:30 PM — The Neighborhood

8:30-9 PM — Bob ♥ Abishola

9-10 PM — NCIS (new time and time)

The CW

Last but not least was the CW’s schedule reveal. The network had already picked up a bulk of their returning series for the new season, only cancelling a handful of them. Supergirl and Black Lightning are the two Arrowverse series coming to an end. The Black Lightning spinoff pilot Painkiller got the word they were passing on it right before the series finale episode aired.

The CW also announced they would be branching out into Saturday night programming for the first time in the network’s history allowing them to have a full 7 day week of nightly programming. They chose to slot Whose Line Is It Anyway? and World’s Funniest Animals here as they are likely cost effective programming for the least watched night of the week.

Sundays also saw a shakeup with the shift to all unscripted programming after two seasons of dramas filling the night. The adult Legends of the Hidden Temple revival will kick off the night leading into the US remake of the British reality series Killer Camp. The British version aired last summer on the network.

Staying paired together and shifting from Sundays to Wednesdays are DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and Batwoman. This means that both Nancy Drew and Riverdale will be on the move. Nancy Drew will be paired with Penn & Teller: Fool Us on Fridays, while Riverdale will follow The Flash on Tuesdays. With filming on both seasons of The Flash and Riverdale running late this season, the shows will not air their new seasons until November. They announced they will be doing event programming for those 5 weeks to make up for the delay.

Mondays will see new series 4400, a reboot of The 4400 which aired on USA Network. This will be paired with returning series All American, which is their top performer (and ironically likely their least promoted series outside of Black Lightning this season). The CW also picked up the All American spinoff series All American: Homecoming which will air midseason. Walker and Legacies will remain on Thursdays.

Superman & Lois was surprisingly held for midseason along with Kung Fu. Charmed, Stargirl, Dynasty, In The Dark, and Roswell, New Mexico will also be making midseason appearances along with new DC drama series Naomi, from Ava Duvernay. Naomi will not be a part of the Arrowverse apparently. The Nancy Drew spinoff pilot Tom Swift and the Powerpuff Girls live action series are still in consideration for midseason. Powerpuff came in too silly for the network’s liking and will reshoot a new pilot which will then be up for consideration.

Midseason: Superman & Lois, Kung Fu, Charmed, Stargirl, Dynasty, In The Dark, Roswell, New Mexico, ALL AMERICAN: HOMECOMING, NAOMI

Overall, the networks played it fairly safe for their fall schedules, sticking with what works for them. 

Franchise series, at each of the networks will only continue to grow as each network now has at least one. CBS has FBI, CSI, NCIS. NBC has Law & Order and the Chicago series. ABC has the two Grey’s Anatomy series. Fox has the 9-1-1 series. The CW has the Arrowverse and All American (and Legacies) series. 

Stability in scheduling to keep people watching the same nights and times will help stop bleeding ratings as each season goes on. New series will mostly fill in for cancelled series and solid performers slide into weaker slots as they try to strengthen weak spots on their schedules. ABC Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10. CBS Thursdays at 10. NBC Mondays at 10 and Thursdays at 8. Fox Tuesdays at 9. CW Sundays and Wednesdays.

Comedies in the fall are becoming more rare. Only ABC on Wednesdays and CBS on Mondays and Thursdays will have comedies on the lineup. NBC will have late summer and holiday specials only. Come midseason Fox and NBC will have them regularly scheduled. 

Streaming services may keep some series alive longer, sliding seamlessly in house to their new home. Evil and SEAL Team will help bolster Paramount+’s growing library of original series. Bringing Clarice to Paramount+ will also bring it together with Alex Kurtzman’s Star Trek series already at the streaming network. NBC and Netflix have a deal already so a move there would be seamless as well. Should Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist move to Peacock it will also help it grow along with For Life at hulu should it also make the move. 

We’ll see if over the summer any of the networks tweak any schedules, but for the most part this will be the fall 2021 schedules for all the main English broadcast networks! Here’s to another fun pilot and upfronts season!

For the upcoming 2021-22 season, The CW Network will expand its primetime schedule to include Saturday, growing to become a full seven-day-a-week broadcast network for the first time in its history, it was announced today by Mark Pedowitz, Chairman and CEO, The CW Network. When the new season launches this fall, The CW will offer 14 hours of primetime series each week, Monday through Sunday (8:00-10:00pm ET/PT).

The CW will officially kick off its first Saturday night of primetime programming on October 2, 2021 with night one of the IHEARTRADIO MUSIC FESTIVAL (8:00-10:00pm ET/PT), with night two of IHEARTRADIO MUSIC FESTIVAL airing on Sunday, October 3 (8:00-10:00pm ET/PT). The CW’s regularly scheduled Saturday programming line-up will be announced at a later date.

While the network expands its primetime programming line-up, The CW will return the Monday through Friday (3:00-4:00pm ET/PT) afternoon block to its affiliated stations to program to their own needs. The CW Television Network launched in 2006 as America’s fifth broadcast network, with programming targeting younger viewers, a demographic highly sought after by advertisers.

Leading The CW’s efforts to expand into a full seven night broadcast network were Betty Ellen Berlamino, The CW’s Executive Vice President, Network Distribution, and Ann Miyagi, Senior Vice President and General Counsel, who worked closely with all of the network’s key affiliate partners to secure clearances across the country.

“As The CW expands and thrives, so do our affiliate partners, and everyone sees the tremendous value and the clear excitement behind the opportunity to brand and identify as a seven night network on both a national and local level,” said Betty Ellen Berlamino, Executive Vice President, Distribution, The CW. “The addition of more original programming to our Saturday primetime line-up coupled with our stations ability to now program the Monday through Friday daytime block is a win-win for all parties.”

“Becoming a seven-night-a-week network has been a long-standing goal for everyone here at The CW, and in an extremely tight broadcast environment, the ability to expand our primetime by two more hours each week is a dynamic shift that will be gladly welcomed by our clients and the agencies,” said Rob Tuck, Executive Vice President, National Sales, The CW. “Following the recent industry trend which has seen considerable contraction on a linear basis, The CW will buck that trend this season by adding a new night of original programming, creating new opportunities for us going forward.”
