ABC is teasing the return of its primetime fare post-Hollywood strikes with two waves of promos. This week, the Alphabet network is sharing a teaser showing the first look from its returning series “Abbott Elementary,” “The Bachelor,” “Not Dead Yet,” “The Conners,” “Will Trent,” “The Rookie,” “The Good Doctor,” “American Idol,” “9-1-1” (newly imported from Fox), “Station 19” and “Grey’s Anatomy.”
Next week, ABC will unveil the full new season trailer for those shows. Variety will share the exclusive on both. First up, today’s teaser will reveal to “Grey’s Anatomy” fans how after years of friendship, Link (Chris Carmack) and Jo (Camilla Luddington) are finally taking their relationship to the next level. And on “Station 19,” we catch a glimpse of Andy (Jaina Lee Ortiz) as captain of Station 19 for the first time.
The return of ABC’s lineup comes after its extended hiatus due to the strikes, and also comes after Quinta Brunson’s history-making Emmy win as outstanding actress in a comedy series for “Abbott Elementary.”
This season, ABC also marks the 100th episodes of “The Rookie,” “The Connors” and “Station 19.” Ad this reps the final seasons of “The Good Doctor” and “Station 19.”
On Feb. 7 are the returns of “The Conners,” “Not Dead Yet” and “Abbott Elementary.” A two-hour “American Idol” (two hours) is back on Feb. 18. On Tuesday, Feb. 20, “Will Trent,” “The Rookie” and “The Good Doctor” return. And debuting their new seasons on March 14 are “9-1-1,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Station 19.”
