Greek

As reported previously, ABC Family has ordered more episodes of Greek and Lincoln Heights to join the network's slate of new originals this year.  Yesterday, the network finally announced the much awaited premiere dates for both series.

Greek, teen drama that centers on college freshman Rusty (Jacob Zachar) who's determined not to continue on his bookish geekiness from his high school days by entering the Greek system, returns with 10 new episodes instead of the initially hinted 12 installments for its sophomore season, which will kick off on Tuesday, August 26 at 9pm ET/PT.

The premiere date of Greek marks a change in date and time for the show, having previously aired on Mondays at 8pm.  The new season finds the Greek gang returning to campus for the conclusion of their senior year, while the upperclassmen explore new relationships and academic aspirations as their upcoming senior year looms.  The cast includes Spencer Grammer as Casey, Scott Michael Foster as Cappie, Jake McDorman as Evan, Clark Duke as Dale, Dilshad Vadsaria as Rebecca, Paul James as Calvin, Amber Stevens as Ashleigh and Tiffany DuPont as Frannie.

For those who missed an episode of Greek's first season, you can catch up and relive the teen drama and the campus antics as ABC Family airs a nine-hour Greek marathon at 11am to 8pm on August 26.

Lincoln Heights, on the other hand, returns for its third season on Tuesday, September 16 at 8pm ET/PT.  For the new season, the critically acclaimed drama that revolves around the lives of the Sutton family will now follow Cassie (Erica Hubbard) and Charles (Robert Adamson) as they take their relationship to new heights, while Tay (Mishon Ratliff) and Lizzie (Rhyon Brown) also delve further into their individual pursuits.  The cast also includes Russell Hornsby, Nicki Micheaux and Michael Reilly Burke.
