Get to Know ABC's 9 Promising New Shows

We know you're still upset over Once Upon a Time finally ending and that Kevin (Probably) Saves the World has been canceled, but we have some good TV news you might want to hear. Sure, it's that time of year when networks are canceling shows left and right — we're still not over Designated Survivor saying goodbye at the end of this season — but what about the renewals and new shows?

ABC has already renewed hits like Black-ish, The Good Doctor, Station 19, Modern Family, and Roseanne, and there are new shows on the horizon that we think you're going to love. During May's annual upfront presentations, the network announced its Fall TV lineup (as well as their new Winter shows).

Check out all of the new shows that ABC will be gifting us with this upcoming TV season, because Fall TV is pretty much the only reason we're OK when Summer ends.

A Million Little Things

James Roday is heading back to TV — sadly not with more Psych (at least not yet) — and we have a feeling we're going to love him on this new show. A Million Little Things centers around the idea that friendship isn't made up of one big thing, but instead a million little things — an idea that a group of friends from Boston have come to know very well. Some of the group are successes at work, others have a rough time in their careers and relationships, but all of them have one thing in common . . . they're stuck. Once a member of their crew dies, the rest wake up and decide to switch things up, and together they can save each other from their rut.

Time slot: Wednesdays at 10 p.m.

Schooled

Attention Goldbergs fans: this is the spinoff you've been waiting for! While The Goldbergs is set in 1980-something, the spinoff will be in 1990-something. It will focus on the teachers of William Penn Academy — think Principal Glascott (Tim Meadows) and Coach Mellor (Bryan Callen) — as well as one very familiar face . . . Lainey Lewis (AJ Michalka) aka Erica Goldberg's BFF. Fingers crossed there are other crossover characters as the season progresses!
