Shows Delayed By The Vice Presidential Debate in October Including ‘Dancing With the Stars’ & More


Several fall shows have been delayed or shifted in premiere and episode release due to the Vice Presidential debate on October 1.

The debate between the candidates will take place on Oct. 1 on CBS, and networks have since shifted schedules and programming to avoid certain shows competing with viewership in the same time slot come October. The premiere of season 2 of Fox’s anthology crime series Accused has been pushed to Tuesday, October 8 from its original slated release date of Oct. 1 by the network. Season 33 of Dancing With the Stars, which recently cast pommel horse Olympic champion and icon Stephen Nedoroscik, will have a doubled-up episode the week of October 7 and 8 instead of the original target date of Oct. 1.
