Network Up Fronts

Gotham fans are going to have to wait for the final season which isn’t airing until next year (and is unlikely to have a full 22 episodes this time). The return of sci-fi drama The Orville is also pushed to midseason.

While fans of Tim Allen’s comedy Last Man Standing, which Fox is reviving, will find the sitcom pretty much right where ABC left it — in the 8 p.m. hour on Friday nights — where it will be partnered this fall with new senior living comedy The Cool Kids.

Lethal Weapon is shifting to 9 p.m. on Tuesday nights with its new star Seann William Scott replacing Clayne Crawford

Freshman comedy Rel starring Lil Rel Howery has been added to the Sunday lineup this fall.

Fox’s live musical production of Rent will be on the air in 2019, while midseason debuts include vampire drama The Passage, legal drama Proven Innocent from Empire creator Danny Strong and a new installment of glitzy documentary series Cosmos.

♦ ABC will have new episodes of Roseanne ready for fall (vs. holding the sitcom for midseason again).

♦ With The Good Doctor holding tight onto Castle‘s old time slot, Nathan Fillion’s The Rookie has copped the quasi-cursed Tuesday-at-10 perch.

♦ The previously announced Dancing With the Stars: Juniors spinoff will keep American Idol‘s Sunday time slot warm until the singing competition returns at midseason. ABC’s all-reality Sunday lineup will conclude with The Alec Bladwin Show (the talker previewed last March following the Oscars).

♦ Possibly in an effort to blunt the impact of Last Man Standing‘s arrival on Fox, ABC is moving Fresh Off the Boat and Speechless to Fridays. The last time ABC led off Friday with a comedy was the 2016-17 season with Last Man Standing.

♦ Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which scored an 11th-hour, shortened-season renewal, is being held until midseason.

♦ Supergirl will launch the CW’s previously-announced expansion into Sunday next fall, with Melissa Benoist and Co. kicking things off on the night at 8/7c, leading into the network’s new Charmed reboot at 9/8c.

♦ Arrow is shifting to Mondays at 9/8c following DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.

♦ The final seasons of Jane the Virgin and iZombie are being held until midseason. Meanwhile, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend — also heading into its final season — will kick off its goodbye this fall, once again on Fridays. (Here’s more on the trio’s quasi-imminent departures.)

♦ Originals spinoff Legacies has snagged the post-Supernatural perch on Thursdays.
