“THE ROOKIE” (SEASON 3) – SUNDAY, JAN. 3 (10:00-11:00 p.m.)
John Nolan, the oldest rookie in the LAPD, has used his life experience, determination and sense of humor to keep up with rookies 20 years his junior. Nearing the end of his training, Nolan now faces his biggest challenge as a police officer when he must come to terms with the choices he has made in pursuit of the truth.
Last season, “The Rookie” more than doubled its new Sunday 10 p.m. time period for ABC in Total Viewers (+114%) and improved the time slot by 50% among Adults 18-49, marking ABC’s most-watched series in the hour in nine years—since the 2010-2011 season. The series finished last season as Sunday’s No. 1 broadcast drama among Adults 18-49 and ranked as the No. 1 entertainment series in the Sunday 10 p.m. hour in Adults 18-49.
“CALL YOUR MOTHER” (SERIES PREMIERE) – WEDNESDAY, JAN. 13 (9:30-10:00 p.m.)
Jean, an empty-nester mom, wonders how she ended up alone while her children live their best lives thousands of miles away. She decides her place is with her family, and as she reinserts herself into their lives, her kids realize they might actually need her more than they thought.
“MIXED-ISH” (SEASON 2) – TUESDAY, JAN. 26 (9:30-10:00 p.m.)
From the creators of “black-ish,” season two of “mixed-ish” will continue to tell the story of a young Rainbow Johnson and her family as they recount the experience of being a mixed-race family in the ’80s and the dilemmas they face as they navigate a world where the kids are perceived as neither black nor white. While the parents deal with the social dynamics of fitting into the suburbs, Rainbow and her siblings find themselves figuring out how to fit in when everyone else can’t decide where they belong.
