“Bachelor in Paradise” is coming to ABC’s schedule this fall.

“The Bachelor” spinoff, which puts former contestants from the reality dating franchise in a tropical location with the aim of offering them the opportunity to find love (and provide entertainment for audiences), will air on Mondays and Tuesday nights from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET/PT this fall. It will take over the Monday night slot previously held by “Dancing with the Stars,” which is moving to Disney+.

On Tuesday, ahead of ABC’s presentation at Upfronts, the network also revealed that the Hilary Swank-starring drama “Alaska” will get the coveted 10 p.m. ET/PT hour, airing after “Grey’s Anatomy.” The series, from creator and executive producer Tom McCarthy (“Spotlight”), stars Swank as Eileen Fitzgerald, a recently disgraced reporter who leaves her high-profile New York life behind to join a daily metro newspaper in Anchorage on a journey to find both personal and professional redemption.

ABC’s fall lineup will also see the addition on Sunday nights of “Celebrity Jeopardy,” an all-new game show featuring celebs, who will compete to win money for a charity of their choice. “Celebrity Jeopardy” will join the Sunday night schedule, airing after “America’s Funniest Home Videos” and before “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.” “The Rookie” will close out Sunday night’s primetime lineup.

Its spinoff, “The Rookie: Feds,” another new show picked up to series by ABC, like “Alaska” has a strong lead-in. Airing Tuesday nights at 10 p.m. ET/PT, it follows “Bachelor in Paradise’s” two-hour block. Niecy Nash-Betts stars in the series as Simone Clark, the oldest rookie in the FBI academy. The spinoff was introduced in Season 4 of “The Rookie.”

“Our fall schedule is a testament to our strong, dynamic programming slate that we’re continuing to nurture with top talent, world-class, award-winning storytellers and marquee titles,” Craig Erwich, president, Hulu Originals & ABC Entertainment, said in a statement Tuesday. “By capitalizing on the success of our strongest assets, we’re betting on stability while also introducing and investing in key projects that will allow us to build on our momentum as the No. 1 entertainment network for the third consecutive year.”

In related news, ABC confirmed “A Million Little Things” will return in midseason, which is also when new comedy “Not Dead Yet,” starring “Jane the Virgin’s” Gina Rodriguez, will premiere.

How Republican-led states far from the US-Mexico border are rushing to pass tough immigration laws
Republican-led states are rushing to give broader immigration enforcement powers to local police and impose criminal penalties for those living in the country illegally as the issue of migrants crossing the U.S. border remains central to the 2024 elections. The Oklahoma Legislature this week fast-tracked a bill to the governor that creates the new crime of “impermissible occupation,” which imposes penalties of as much as two years in prison for being in the state illegally. Oklahoma is among several GOP-led states jockeying to push deeper into immigration enforcement as both Republicans and Democrats seize on the issue.

A man accused of fatally shooting a 9-year-old girl when he was robbed at a Houston ATM in 2022 has been indicted for murder in her death. Tuesday’s indictment against Tony Earls comes nearly two years after another grand jury had declined to indict him in the death of Arlene Alvarez. “We have a duty to see that justice is done, and that meant asking a new grand jury to look at new evidence,” Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said Wednesday in a statement.
