Women of the Movement (Midseason)
This limited series centers on Mamie Till-Mobley, who risks her life in 1955 to find justice after her son Emmett Till is brutally murdered in the Jim Crow South.

Comedy
Abbott Elementary (Midseason)
A workplace comedy about a group of teachers brought together in one of the worst public schools in the country, simply because they love teaching.

Based on Tim Curcio's short film of the same name, the comedy revolves around a young woman who tries to cope with life while coming to terms with her abilities as a psychic. She can see everyone's future, but her present is a mess.

The reboot will explore how "a Black middle-class family in Montgomery, Alabama in the turbulent late 1960s made sure it was The Wonder Years for them, too."
