While there was certainly some heartbreaking news for television fans after dozens of shows were cancelled by the major networks. However, many other beloved shows will return during the 2019-2020 season, bringing back characters, stars and stories that hooked viewers last season.
Some of the longest-running television shows will be back in the new season. ABC‘s The Bachelor will be back for a 24th season, while NBC‘s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit will break the scripted primetime drama record with a 21st season. FOX’s The Simpsons will also be back for an astonishing 32nd season.
