ABC's Fall Premiere Plan Unveiled: Get Return Dates For Grey's, Scandal, Once, Revenge And More
ABC is the final broadcast net to reveal its premiere plan for the 2014-2015 season, and, for the most part, the network is sticking to a traditional rollout strategy. The latest cycle of Dancing With the Stars is out of the gate first on Monday, Sept. 15.
New drama Forever will get a special sneak preview in Castle's Monday-10/9c timeslot on Sept. 22, before settling into its regular post-S.H.I.E.L.D. perch the following night.

ABC's newly-christened Shondaland Thursday — featuring Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and new addition How to Get Away With Murder — bows Thursday, Sept. 25. The Viola Davis vehicle has a 15- to 16-episode freshman run; the new drama Secrets and Lies will then move to the Thursdays-at-10 slot.
Once Upon a Time, back Sunday, Sept, 28, will again run a split season, with the medieval musical comedy Galavant filling the midseason gap, while Marvel's Agent Carter will bridge Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s winter break. (At press time, it was unclear if Grey's and Scandal will also stick with split-season runs, though Shonda Rhimes told us she suspects both shows will.)
