ABC Fall Premiere Dates

Get those remote controls fired up! The ABC Television Network has announced that it will launch an exciting 2018-19 season with a slate of returning hit shows and several new series, beginning with the premiere of the 27th installment of “Dancing with the Stars” on Monday, Sept. 24, immediately followed by the highly anticipated season premiere of last year’s No. 1 new drama, “The Good Doctor.”

This fall’s new dramas “A Million Little Things,” which is about a group of friends coping with an unexpected loss, premieres Wednesday, Sept. 26; and “The Rookie,” starring Nathan Fillion as one of the newest – and oldest – police trainees in Los Angeles, premieres Tuesday, Oct. 16. That same night, ABC will launch two new comedies – “The Conners,” a spinoff of the groundbreaking show “Roseanne,” and “The Kids Are Alright,” inspired by creator Tim Doyle’s Irish-Catholic upbringing in the turbulent ’70s. “Single Parents,” which is about a group of adults who lean on each other to raise their children while trying to hold on to their personal lives, rounds out the new comedy slate, and premieres Wednesday, Sept. 26.

“Dancing with the Stars: Juniors,” which will pair celebrity kids with professional junior ballroom dancers, launches with a two-hour premiere on Sunday, Oct. 7. Rounding out the roster of new fall titles is “The Alec Baldwin Show,” featuring in-depth conversations with some of today’s most intriguing personalities. Starring the three-time Emmy® winner, the hour-long show, which first aired as a sneak preview last March, will premiere Sunday, Oct. 14.


Friday nights herald the return of TGIF on ABC, which first launched the iconic programming block nearly 30 years ago. The new TGIF premieres Oct. 5 and will feature “Fresh Off the Boat” and “Speechless” on their new night, followed by “Child Support” with Ricky Gervais and Fred Savage, at its new time.
