ABC Family Releases Summer Lineup; PLL, STITCHERS Start It Off

ABC Family has released their summer schedule which includes a few newcomers as well as returning favorites. Kicking off the summer sizzle will be Pretty Little Liars (8/7c) followed by new series, Stitchers (9/8c). Here’s the press release:

To maintain its position as a leader in providing original, groundbreaking content and deep fan engagement, ABC Family will double the amount of original programming it offers over the next four years. Over recent months, the network has announced the largest programing slate ever in the history of the channel. Anchored by its critically acclaimed original series that have become pop culture phenomena – “Pretty Little Liars,” “Switched At Birth,” “The Fosters,” “Chasing Life,” “Melissa and Joey,” “Baby Daddy” and “Young and Hungry” – the network will expand the amount of serialized dramas, comedies and unscripted fare it offers year round.

The strategy begins in June with new additions, including the procedural drama “Stitchers” and the unscripted reality drama “Becoming Us.“ “Pretty Little Liars” and “Stitchers” bow first on Tuesday, June 2nd, followed by “Melissa & Joey” and “Baby Daddy” on Wednesday, June 3rd. “The Fosters” and “Becoming Us” will then premiere on Monday, June 8th. Later this summer the comedy “Kevin From Work” and the reality series “Job or No Job,” “Monica the Medium,” “Startup U” and “Next Step Realty: NYC” will join the line-up.
