no dates have been announced
— Adam Horowitz (@AdamHorowitzLA) November 2, 2016
So either Adam doesn’t know the return date himself, or he’s not allowed to comment until ABC makes it official? It’s also a possibility that ABC is still sorting out their Winter/Spring schedule, and haven’t finalized things just yet.
On another note, January 15th would be a rather odd return date, if IMDB is listing the correct date.
[adrotate group="5"]ABC announced today that Scandal would be returning on January 19th, along with Grey’s and HTGAWM:
http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2016/11/03/abc-announces-the-return-of-scandal-584503/20161103abc01/Hopefully they announce their other return dates soon, including OUAT’s.
Looks like OUAT won’t be returning in January, as they’ll be airing the game show To Tell the Truth in its timeslot that month:
Two-time Emmy Award-nominee Anthony Anderson is back to host a second season of ABC’s hit series “To Tell the Truth,” premiering SUNDAY, JANUARY 1 (9:00–10:00 p.m. EST), and then on SUNDAYS from 8:00–10:00 p.m. EST, on the ABC Television Network.
Still no Mid-Season return date, but it’s looking more likely that it will indeed be in March.
Sounds about right. I sorta figured as soon as we saw who the authors of 610 and 611 were–that’s a giveaway.
Going back to a previous post from Matt, March 5th is the most likely date.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"If they indeed return in March, that is odd, now im wondering if this isnt really last season, and they will announce it on January at the TCA`s which gives them time until march to PR the last episodes of the show, together with many cons that several cast members would do and with Bobby going for the 1st time to a fan con( outside SDCC), even tho i think they may have a S7 with 15/16 epis, but now i wonder if the cast doesnt want out, appears there are rumours of several regular cast members looking for other jobs.
"I offended you with my opinion? Ha, you should hear the ones I keep to myself".

I think OUAT still not returning till March this Season has more to do with scheduling than anything else. January has the Golden Globes and the NFL Championship games, while February has the Super Bowl, Grammys and the Oscars. It would have been too much on and off scheduling, and competing with major events.

yeah,but they had that schedule on s1 and s2 and when then they would not air on those days, reason why btw jan and february they didnt air more than 4 epis total, however you cant deny that if they decided that would be the last season, that the schedule in march would be perfect to announce in jan and have time to make publicity of the last episodes in march, like they did this year with castle.
Another thing that helps this schedule is if Tv line prediction was correct and around 613-615 some regular leaves the show, if the epi is shown in march/april they done filming the season, meaning that the spoilers can be preserved more easily than, if they air those epis in February while they are still filming the last epis of the season,"I offended you with my opinion? Ha, you should hear the ones I keep to myself".

While that’s true, S1 and S2 are miles apart in terms of ratings and ad buys than S6. It was safer to have a messed up schedule because the viewers came back in droves and the ad buyers saw that. But a messed up schedule like that now (with ratings being what they are) isn’t going to help the network. However, there is historical evidence that leaving OUAT off the air for several months and then bringing it back midseason works for the show–steady ratings at the least. Look at the ratings for the back half of any season after we went to splits.
I don’t think this has anything to do with any sort of final season hurrah. I think we’re getting renewed for a S7 in large part because ABC can’t cancel everything even though the numbers for multiple shows would mean the axe only a few years ago.

I didnt said was last season, bc like i said on a previous post even if the ratings drop a lot in second part, since they are nor airing in jan, they will need another season to end the show, unless they do like Castle have a alternate finale in case the show ends this season, what i said was that in the hypothetical case, if the cast didnt want to renew for a s7 or ABC would like to cancel the show, this interuption from January to March would give ABC chance to make PR of the last episodes during those 2 months,
