With the network is embarking on most of its winter finales, ABC has revealed its midseason schedule which sees A Million Little Things breaking up the TGIT lineup.
The first part of 2019 will see A Million Little Things moving to Thursdays for the remainder of its run while giving Station 19 an extended hiatus. A Million Little Things will make its Thursday debut on January 17, sandwiched between the returning Grey’s Anatomy and How to Get Away With Murder. Match Game will fill the 10 p.m. Wednesday spot currently occupied by A Million Little Things starting January 9. Station 19 will return March 7, which also will bring the season two premiere of the Shondaland legal drama For the People, which takes over the HTGAWM slot.
The network also will debut three new shows in the first quarter and launch a new season of American Idol in March. The new shows include the spy dramedy Whiskey Cavalier, which will debut Wednesday, February 27, and the legal thriller The Fix, coming Monday, March 18, after The Good Doctor finishes its season. ABC previously announced a January 9 premiere for Schooled, a 1990s-set spinoff of The Goldbergs.
In a bit of a surprising move, ABC is holding its much talked about mid-season nighttime soap, Grand Hotel, for a summer run. The network must feel the show will appeal to a younger demographic that is more likely to view it during the summer. Grand Hotel premieres June 17.
