Deadline reports that ABC has ordered some extra episodes of several — but not all — of their current TV shows.
Grey’s Anatomy, The Middle, The Goldbergs, Modern Family, and Black-ish will all now have 24 episodes this time around. Castle and Once Upon a Time will have 23 installments each.
Resurrection, which is way down season-to-season, will have just one additional episode, bringing its season total to 14 episodes. It will be replaced mid-season by American Crime (which will have 11 installments).
Scandal, because of its dense storylines, will stay at 22 episodes this season. How to Get Away with Murder will stay at 15 installments because of star Viola Davis’ contract.
Nashville and Revenge, which continue to struggle in the ratings, haven’t been asked for any additional episodes. Newbie shows Forever, Selfie and Manhattan Love Story are tanking so it seems likely that they won’t be asked for more than 13 installments apiece and will be cancelled after that.
UPDATE: ABC later decided not to order an additional episode of Resurrection after all, leaving the ratings-challenged show at 13 episodes.
What do you think? Are you glad to hear that these shows will have more episodes this season? Which are your favorites?
What happened to the show Fresh off the boat. I really like it and best of all it isn’t a reality show!
I absolutely LOVE Forever. I am hoping it gets a second season. And more to come!
Please ABC keep Resurrection! LOVE IT!
I love the first season of Forever, it is my favorite show, please renew this show for a second season. I hope it will continue until its tenth season. It is refreshing to see a show that truly entertains with the talents of the cast!
Love the show Nashville. Please keep it on!
Forever is a great show our whole family enjoys it! Please keep it playing.
Please keep Forever, My family really enjoys this show.
This will be my last post I will delete ABC from my computer and not be watching it on tv any longer they canceled the only show I liked Resurrection ! Maybe another station with pick it and do a better job with timing of when to put the show on.
KEEP Resurection. . .Most people I talk to LOVE IT. . .it keeps you in suspense from week to week. . .so many people tape due to either convenience of watching later, conflicting shows, football, or convenience of being able to fast forward thru commercials. I have to wonder if this is taken into consideration in the ratings. . .If not considered, then it is the fault of some of the terrible and often depressing commercials . . .which I have found to be the main reason people tape and watch later. . too bad commercials can’t get canceled due… Read more »
well i don’t now about that but you are gonna cancel my brow show ‘melissa and joey’ whats that about!!!!!!
Sandy I too loved the show and they did cancel it ! I don’t think they took any much in to consideration or they would have left the show on! They rather leave the dumbest of dumb shows on because people just don’t want to watch any thing where they might have to think or figure some thing out for themselves! It is an awful shame what the world is coming !
Keep Resurrection!!!!
Please Keep Forever; one of your best ever!!
Please Keep Forever!! It is one of the best shows; better than most of the ones you are keeping in my opinion.
Revenge and Nashville are two of my favorite shows. I PVR them all the time so I don’t miss an episode. I wish they would air more episodes. They may not be doing well because there are too few episodes!
PLEASE keep Forever. Such a cool show!!!
Keep forever please I NEED to find out what happens
PLEASE DON’T END REVENGE OR NASHVILLE. I LOVE THEM BOTH. I NEVER MISS AN EPISODE. I WATCH ABC EVERYDAY. IF THEY GET DROPPED I WILL HAVE TO DROP ABC.
