The Rookie moves to 2021 in favor of the second season of Card Sharks, which was held over from this summer.
Midseason
Returning at midseason are mixed-ish, The Rookie, and new seasons of American Idol and The Bachelor. New at midseason is the Kyra Sedgwick vehicle Call Your Mother and the newly-ordered legal drama (as of September 16) Rebel starring Katey Sagal.
Welp... for taking so long to announce a schedule, ABC didn't really do very much. They still have pilots in contention, but they will have some work to do at midseason to fill this out, unless the fall schedule doesn't get off the ground (which is obviously a possibility).
Read after the jump for descriptions of new series
Big Sky - From visionary storyteller David E. Kelley (Big Little Lies) comes Big Sky, a thriller created by Kelley, who will write multiple
episodes and serve as showrunner in its premiere season. Private
detectives Cassie Dewell and Cody Hoyt join forces with his estranged
wife and ex-cop, Jenny Hoyt, to search for two sisters who have been
kidnapped by a truck driver on a remote highway in Montana. But when
they discover that these are not the only girls who have disappeared in
the area, they must race against the clock to stop the killer before
another woman is taken. Based on the series of books by C.J. Box.
Call Your Mother - From Kari Lizer (The New Adventures of Old Christine), this
multicamera comedy follows an empty nester mom who wonders how she ended
up alone while her children live their best lives thousands of miles
away. She decides her place is with her family and as she reinserts
herself into their lives, her kids realize they might actually need her
more than they thought.
Emergency Call - Hosted by Luke Wilson, Emergency Call follows the dramatic moments leading up to the arrival of help rather than the events after the firefighters, police or emergency medical services teams arrive, and focuses on the extreme, suspenseful and sometimes humorous stories that flood 911 call centers.
Rebel - Inspired by the life of Erin Brockovich today, Annie "Rebel" Bello is a blue-collar legal advocate without a law degree. She's a funny, messy, brilliant and fearless woman who cares desperately about the causes she fights for and the people she loves. When Rebel applies herself to a fight she believes in, she will win at almost any cost.
Supermarket Sweep - ABC is bringing back the classic TV game show Supermarket Sweep,
hosted and executive produced by Emmy Award-nominated comedienne and
actress Leslie Jones. The fast-paced and energetic series follows three
teams of two as they battle it out using their grocery shopping skills
and knowledge of merchandise to win big cash prizes. The original format
aired on ABC from 1965-1967 and went on to become a global sensation.
It was adapted in 13 international territories and, most recently,
relaunched in the UK.
