T10 WHATS UP! September 6 - 12, 2020 some of these might be pushed to midseason premieres. ABC has been forced to break with tradition and bring "The Bachelorette" to the fall schedule, but otherwise, things seem to be pretty up in the air. Police procedural "The Rookie" has been renewed for Season 3 after a Season 2 cliff- hanger that saw John Nolan (Nathan Fillion, "Firefly") framed as an LAPD mole, but no premiere date has been confirmed. Other ABC net- work shows due to return in- clude "Dancing With the Stars," "Grey's Anatomy," "The Goldbergs" and "Ameri- ca's Funniest Home Videos," among many others. In May, CBS announced its 2020-21 lineup, chock-full of returning shows — 23 of them in fact. Not all of them will de- but in the fall, of course, but network executive Kelly Kahl was optimistic the network would be able to deliver some programming, though dates have yet to be confirmed. "We're excited to come off another season as America's Most Watched Network and, despite the obvious challenges around us, put together anoth- er winning lineup," Kahl said in an official release. However, in a May inter- view with The Hollywood Re- porter, Kahl admitted that the shows wouldn't likely be ready for their typical late-Septem- ber, early-October debuts. While filming of traditional broadcast dramas and come- dies will hopefully resume this summer, CBS at least has one full series ready to go. Phil Ke- oghan ("Tough as Nails") hosts the 32nd season of the reality TV series "The Amaz- ing Race," which follows teams of two as they race across the globe, completing challenges along the way. The entirety of the season was filmed in the fall of 2018. How- ever, unfortunately for fans of the reality TV genre, it doesn't look as if ratings juggernaut "Survivor" will be returning this fall, as production of its 41st season has been delayed for obvious reasons. Plans are still a go for many other CBS series, such as the top-rated network television show "NCIS." It is on the schedule for sometime this fall, along with its two spi- noffs, "NCIS: Los Angeles" and "NCIS: New Orleans." "FBI: Most Wanted," "60 Min- utes" and the comedy "Bob Hearts Abishola" are on the docket as well. The Fox network has come up with what is being called a "corona-proof " fall schedule, thanks to its reliance on acqui- sitions, animated series and shows that were already in the can. As for what's coming back to Fox, fans won't see any re- turning live-action series. In- stead, animated shows take center stage with the return of "The Simpsons," "Bob's Burg- ers," "Bless the Hearts" and "Family Guy" on Sunday eve- nings. Unlike almost every other mainstream television series, such animated pro- grams can continue to pro- duce new episodes — albeit a bit more slowly — as anima- tors, writers and voice actors work from home. Fox also plans to bring view- ers a new season of the hit re- ality TV show "MasterChef Junior" with chefs Gordon Ramsay, Aarón Sánchez and new judge Daphne Oz, a nutri- tion expert and author. The network has announced fall plans for Season 4 of "The Masked Singer" as well. As for the big cable channels, HBO's schedule is still fairly up in the air and fans are likely look- ing for news about hits such as "Euphoria," "Gentleman Jack" and "His Dark Materials." Un- fortunately, the wait continues as not much has been con- firmed. AMC has announced that the Season 10 finale of "The Walking Dead" will air on Sun- day, Oct. 4, and Season 6 of "Fear the Walking Dead" will air Sun- day, Oct. 11. Over on FX, the fourth season of the hit series "Fargo" has been scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 27. While things may be uncer- tain right now, it's nice to know that there are at least plans to bring some of TV's biggest hits back to prime time this fall. Keep an eye on the TV listings to catch all your favorite shows. Nathan Fillion stars in "The Rookie" continued from page T2 Welcome back: What's returning to prime time TV FEATURE
