ABC premiered the trailers for its new shows during upfronts on Monday, May 14.

While the network virtually passed on all series with black leads, several of those picked up have black talent in series regular roles.

Check out the trailers and their official descriptions below:

Grand Hotel (held for midseason)

Black series regulars include Wendy Raquel Robinson and Chris Warren.

Eva Longoria executive produces this bold, provocative drama set at the last family-owned hotel in multicultural Miami Beach. Charismatic Santiago Mendoza owns the hotel, while his glamorous second wife, Gigi, and their adult children enjoy the spoils of success. The hotel’s loyal staff round out a contemporary, fresh take on an upstairs/downstairs story. Wealthy and beautiful guests bask in luxury, but scandals, escalating debt and explosive secrets hide beneath the picture-perfect exterior. The show is based on the Spanish series.

The Rookie (Tuesdays at 10 p.m.)

Black series regulars include Afton Williamson, Richard T. Jones, Titus Makin.

Starting over isn’t easy, especially for small-town guy John Nolan who, after a life-altering incident, is pursuing his dream of being an LAPD officer. As the force’s oldest rookie, he’s met with skepticism from some higher-ups who see him as just a walking midlife crisis. If he can’t keep up with the young cops and the criminals, he’ll be risking lives including his own. But if he can use his life experience, determination and sense of humor to give him an edge, he may just become a success in this new chapter of his life.
