October Road will air
from 10-11 p.m. on ABC, with Men in Trees returning to this timeslot on Thursdays following an initial run of the
new series. Six Degrees will

A joint production between ABC Television Studio and
GroupM Entertainment, October Road
centers on the young, popular author Nick Garrett who returns to his hometown
in order to get over his writer’s block, after a ten-year hiatus. When Garrett
is back home on October Road, he quickly discovers that the circle of friends
whose teenaged lives he wrote about have trouble forgiving him for leaving them
behind, and that his ex-girlfriend Hannah Daniels may have had his child. October
Road stars Bryan Greenberg as Nick Garrett,
Laura Prepon as Hannah Daniels, Tom Berenger as The Commander, Warren Christie
as Ray "Big Cat" Cataldo, Brad William Henke as Owen Rowan, Evan
Jones as Ikey, Jay Paulson as Physical Phil, Slade Pearce as Sam Daniels, Geoff
Stults as Eddie Latekka and Odette Yustman as Aubrey. The series is
executive-produced by Gary Fleder, Scott Rosenberg, Josh Appelbaum and Andre
Nemec.

Shot on location in New York City, Six Degrees follows the intertwined relationships of six
characters as they affect and influence each other's lives. It was put on
hiatus following unimpressive ratings. The series stars Jay Hernandez as Carlos
Green, Bridget Moynahan as Whitney Crane, Erika Christensen as Mae, Dorian
Missick as Damian, with Campbell Scott as Steven Caseman and Hope Davis as
Laura. Six Degrees is produced by Bad Robot, Nosebleed Productions and ABC
Television Studio.
