After almost a three-month-long hiatus, ABC's 'A Million Little Things' is finally returning with the latter half of its ongoing Season 3 this Thursday, March 11. Picking up right where they all left us, the tension and drama peaks as Covid-19 enters the plot. Unfortunately, not many fans want to see the show fall into the traps of several network shows that have incorporated the pandemic into their storylines.

Viewers want an escape from the traumatic year that was the pandemic but looks like ABC didn't get the memo. Much like 'The Good Doctor', 'A Million Little Things' will also be very Corona-centric and the latest Episode 5 is only the beginning of it. Wondering when you can catch the show next? Worry not, there are no random breaks or hiatuses in the foreseeable future.
