FREEFORM TO Premiere NEW SEASONS OF AWARD-WINNING DRAMA SERIES
The Fosters and Switched at Birth ON January 31, 2017

These Series Join Previously Announced January Premieres for
Fan Favorite Shadowhunters and New Sci-Fi Series Beyond

Freeform today announced its winter premiere dates for The Fosters and Switched at Birth.  These series join previously announced January premieres for Shadowhunters and Beyond.

The critically acclaimed family drama, The Fosters, returns with new episodes on TUESDAY, JANUARY 31 at 8:00 p.m. EST. As the fourth season of The Fosters continues, the show picks up from the summer cliffhanger finale that left several family members in peril. The series stars Teri Polo, Sherri Saum, Hayden Byerly, Noah Centineo, David Lambert, Maia Mitchell, Danny Nucci and Cierra Ramirez.

The fifth and final season of Switched at Birth, premieres on TUESDAY, JANUARY 31 at 9:00 p.m. EST. The Peabody Award-winning family drama explores blended families and deaf culture, with an array of deaf and hard-of-hearing actors, and includes scenes shot entirely in American Sign Language (ASL). A groundbreaking all-ASL episode aired in March 2013. The final season will include the topical issue of campus race relations — culminating with an episode told from the perspective of several African-American characters — and the milestone 100th episode of the series. Switched at Birth stars Katie Leclerc, Vanessa Marano, Constance Marie, D.W. Moffett, Lea Thompson and Lucas Grabeel with guest stars Sean Berdy and Marlee Matlin.
