Freeform has announced that Young & Hungry and Baby Daddy will be on the move later this year, as both will move from Wednesdays to Mondays beginning March 13th.
Young & Hungry will premiere at 8:00 and tackle the complications that come from Josh and Gabi deciding to be friends with benefits. The two thought this would be the best way to keep themselves from getting hurt while allowing themselves to indulge in their physical connection, but will they be able to keep their feelings out of this new arrangement?
Elsewhere on Young & Hungry, Sofia continues working for Logan and expanding her burgeoning career in journalism, while Josh has an unexpected run-in with his father.
Meanwhile, Baby Daddy will premiere at 8:30 and pick up three months after last season’s finale, where we’ll find Ben still on the hunt for Elle and Riley and Danny looking for a doctor to help with the pregnancy, all the while trying to keep Bonnie at arm’s length.
Elsewhere on Baby Daddy, which will hit 100 episodes this season, Tucker returns from Los Angeles yet refuses to fill anyone in on what happened while he was there. Could he be hiding something?
The strategy to move Young & Hungry and Baby Daddy is certainly an interesting one, given that ABC Family/Freeform’s comedy presence has always been on Wednesdays. The idea makes a certain amount of sense, as it gets the shows away from sister network ABC’s comedies and keeps original content on an important night for them, but one has to wonder whether what impact the CBS multi-cams will have and whether the move will do more harm than good.
This isn’t the first scheduling swap that Freeform has done this year, as the winter dramas were flipped from where they most recently aired. Shadowhunters became the Monday anchor after premiering on Tuesdays at 9:00, while The Fosters moved to Tuesdays after airing on Mondays for its first four seasons.
