ABC reveals post-strike schedule: Abott Elementary, The Bachelor, and more get release dates

After CBS triumphantly announced the return of its most sought-after shows earlier, ABC has now come out with its schedule of all the returning shows after the entire ordeal of the two strikes. The WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike disrupted the entirety of Hollywood and managed to push back the whole fall premiere catalog.

After the long delays, the network television channel has resumed work for the upcoming seasons of some of its most popular shows, like Abbott Elementary, and has even released an entire calendar confirming when each of the shows returns to the television screens.

All the premiere dates of the shows come at the time when shows usually pick off from their respective mid-season breaks in other years. This time, the schedule is quite different.

Despite the premiere dates, ABC has yet to give an official count for each show. The schedule for ABC kicks off in late January and is expected to last till April or May.
