ABC trailers for the Fall 2017-18 season

We’ve had the teaser trailers for ABC’s fall season already. But if that’s not put you into a frenzy of excitement, imagine what full trailers for the new shows will do!

Imagine no more, because they’re after the jump. As well as the shows featured on Monday, though, we’ve also got a trailer for Alex, Inc., in which Zach Braff starts his own business, and a teaser for the newly announced Roseanne reboot. You can watch that now, because it’s basically just clips from the old series.

  • LA to Vegas – office comedy set on planes
  • Ghosted – comedy The X-Files
