‘Mistresses’ season 3, ‘Rookie Blue,’ ‘The Bachelorette’ premiere dates official

ABC has just made its entire summer lineup official, and we have a number of dates within this article that we figure you are probably going to want to keep track of one way or another.

Let us start here with the show that is premiering the earliest: “The Bachelorette.” You are going be watching either Kaitlyn Bristowe or Britt Nilsson’s journey to find love (ABC is still not confirming who the star of the show will be) on Monday, May 18 at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time. Basically, it will be after the first part of the “Dancing with the Stars” finale, which is the same thing that the show has done in most other years.

Meanwhile, there are some big changes coming for “Mistresses,” and not just in the way that the show is going to be losing Alyssa Milano this season. It will be on a new night in Thursdays starting with a two-hour premiere on Thursday, June 18 at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time. In moving the show away from its lead-in, we wonder if this is ABC subtly saying that they have given the show a good chance, but they are not moving on to what they personally feel to be bigger and better things.

As for some other news, new series “The Whispers” is actually getting the spot after “The Bachelorette” starting on Monday, June 1. Meanwhile, “Rookie Blue” will be joining the lineup on Thursday, June 25, and will follow up “Mistresses” with its latest new episode. This is a chance for the show to be a part of a night of original programming … but it may not be a successful one.
