ABC's Men In Trees will be pulled off the network's schedule in favour of new drama October Road, it has been confirmed.

October Road will make its debut on March 15 with ABC's top-rated Grey's Anatomy as a lead-in. The series follows a young, popular author named Nick Garrett (Bryan Greenberg) who goes back to his hometown to work through his writer's block. There, he discovers resentment among the friends he left behind years ago.

Men In Trees will return to the schedule after October Road's initial run.

ABC has also confirmed that Six Degrees will return to the network's lineup in March. The seven remaining unaired episodes of the series will be burned off starting March 23.
