Although the strike served a great cause, it also prompted a necessary pause in the industry. It’s not just the actors who had some rest; the viewers also had a chance to catch up on certain shows. However, with the end of the strike, things are returning to normal.
Many companies are not yet discussing their future plans for certain shows and their production. As ABC is one of the pioneers in the entertainment industry, they haven’t lagged behind. ABC has revealed the premiere dates for certain shows.
“The Bachelor” will kick off the slate on January 22nd with a two-hour-long episode. Following that, a new ABC show, the true-crime series ’20/20,’ will be streamed on the same day. The latter series will delve into the shocking love crimes of all time with eight episodes at its disposal.
March 14th will also mark the return of one of the most iconic ‘doctor’ shows, as Grey’s Anatomy will be back on TV. Speaking of ‘doctor’ series, The Good Doctor will make a comeback on February 20th.
Series like High Potential will experience a delay and premiere next year.
