ABC sets its midseason winter schedule, returning several scripted series and adjusting the launch timing for “The Bachelor.” The network announces new premiere windows for “Will Trent” and “High Potential,” with “Will Trent” beginning on Tuesday, Jan. 5, and both shows slated to start new seasons in early January.
Across the outlets, the schedule change with the biggest emphasis is that “The Bachelor” shifts to Sundays for the first time. Variety also links ABC’s midseason lineup to broader fall-to-winter planning, noting additional titles tied to the network’s lineup, while Deadline highlights the broader slate of midseason dates that includes more than the shows covered in other reports.
The reporting differs mainly in scope and how far into the lineup each outlet looks. Hollywood Reporter focuses on key returns and the broad timing window for early January, while Deadline and Variety provide more detail about the overall midseason programming and when major franchise and new shows arrive.
