Now with their fall slate selected, ABC has announced their 2015 – 2016 schedule.
There are several notable scheduling decisions in this morning’s announcement. For starters, ABC’s new Muppets series will open their Tuesday night line up at 8 p.m. eastern. Meanwhile, ABC’s Wednesday and Thursday night line ups have been unchanged (meaning Shonda Rhimes’ #TGIT night is perfectly in tact).
Returning underdog Galavant will air its second season on Sunday nights while Once Upon a Time is on its mid-season 5 hiatus. Similarly, Agent Carter season 2 will air during S.H.I.E.L.D.s’ mid-season hiatus. Speaking of replacements, the new Rhimes drama The Catch* will air on Thursdays at 10 p.m. eastern/pacific after How to Get Away with Murder wraps its second season.
Exact premiere dates will be announced at a later date. ABC’s full fall 2015 line up is as follows (bold = new, mid-season shows like Galavant and Agent Carter not included):

She’s a fraud investigator who’s about to be the victim of fraud herself by her fiancé. Between her cases, she is determined to find him before it ruins her career.”
