ABC

The Goldbergs (Wednesday, September 25 on ABC)

Time for a little vacation, and a little Vacation homage. The premiere, appropriately titled "Vacation," takes the Goldberg fam on a road trip to Disneyland that obviously doesn't go as planned. And all the while, Erica's freaking out over Geoff saying "we need to talk" without telling her what they need to talk about, which is understandably stressful!

The Good Doctor (Monday, Sept. 23 on ABC)

Romance is in the air for Shaun (Freddie Highmore) and Carly (Jasika Nicole), and it's clearly more than just what Shaun thinks was a "disastrous" first date. He spends the premiere, titled "Disaster," desperately trying to save a newlywed woman's life while the residents compete to lead surgeries.

The Good Place (Thursday, Sept. 26 on NBC)

All good things must come to an end, and what an end we're in for. D'Arcy Carden calls it "an adventure of a season" on the way to the end, with lots of romance, according to William Jackson Harper. Eleanor's now in charge of the Good Place experiment, Chidi's memory of their entire love story is now wiped, and the new residents are not going to be easy to turn into good people. "This is really [Eleanor] putting everything on the line and saying I gotta step up and be a leader here and make this experiment work," Kristen Bell tells us.

Grey's Anatomy (Thursday, Sept. 26 on ABC)

Showrunner Krista Vernoff describes the changes made at the end of last season as "pretty radical," and she says the same of their effects in season 16, with Meredith, Richard, and Alex fired, and Meredith facing charges of insurance fraud. The premiere will span four weeks, but Vernoff describes this as a season of consequences that will play out long past that premiere. Oh, and be worried for every. single. couple.

Riverdale (Wednesday, Oct. 9 on The CW)

Riverdale's premiere will be dedicated to Luke Perry and his character, Fred Andrews, as the show finally addresses Perry's death, which happened in March with three episodes of season three left to film. Shannen Doherty guest stars in the episode, and you can expect some seriously heavy emotion, for the actors and the characters.  

Don't, however, expect to get all the answers about that spring break flashforward, other than the fact that Jughead is MISSING in the trailer we debuted exclusively.
