ABC Reveals Fall 2020-21 Lineup With ‘The Bachelorette’ Season Premiere, Three New Series

ABC has revealed their fall lineup with new and returning shows today, and has finally scheduled a debut for The Bachelorette. The pandemic has forced ABC to cut their Tuesday comedy block to make room for the reality dating series, a change that marks the first time in 10 years that the network won’t broadcast any sitcoms that day of the week.
Fans will finally see Season 16 of The Bachelorette after production was postponed for the show back in the spring. The new season of the reality dating series, starring Clare Crawley, will premiere on Tuesdays at 8/7c, shifting the network’s Tuesday comedy block to Wednesday for the first half of the fall. Black-ish and mixed-ish will return later in the season.
ABC is moving some of its other series to new nights this fall with the addition of the three shows, as well as the ending of Modern Family this spring. The comedy series aired on Wednesday at 9/8c, and the slot is now being occupied by The Conners this fall.
Along with its returning series, ABC will also be premiering three new programs across genres: a drama, comedy and reality competition are all slated to debut in the primetime lineup.

Joining the fall schedule are the David E. Kelley drama Big Sky, comedy Call Your Mother from Kari Lizer, and a Supermarket Sweep reboot starring Saturday Night Live‘s Leslie Jones. Big Sky follows a team of private detectives working to solve a mystery of missing girls disappearing in Montana. Call Your Mother follows an empty-nester mom trying to reinsert herself back into her kids’ lives, and Supermarket Sweep pits competing teams against each other in the grocery store to win big prizes.
