ABC announced returns, cancellations, and new shows coming this fall on Friday.
First, the renewals. Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Scandal, Modern Family, Castle, Once Upon a Time, and Grey’s Anatomy, which are all Fresh on the Tomatometer, will be back for new seasons.
We will also see the return of Rotten shows Resurrection and The Goldbergs.
Among the shows to get the boot were the Fresh Trophy Wife and the Rotten Mixology. Nashville and Last Man Standing are still on the bubble.
ABC also announced 10 new series pick-ups, including The Whispers, executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, and Marvel’s Agent Carter, a Captain America spin-off which already got a full-season order. The full list of new series orders is below.
