Sorry, Shondaland fans. You can’t finish Thanksgiving with your favorite doctors, firemen or lawyers. “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Station 19” and “How to Get Away With Murder” are taking Turkey Day off, and ABC News has some special programming planned for Thursday night instead.

At 8 p.m. EST, the usual “Grey’s Anatomy” slot, there will be a special called “Mary Poppins Returns: Behind the Magic – A Special Edition of 20/20.” The hour-long program will give viewers an inside look at the new Disney movie, which hits theaters Dec. 19. ABC News’ Chris Connelly will interview stars Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Also featured is a one-on-one conversation with Miranda and Dick Van Dyke.

Instead of “Station 19,” ABC will give fans a royal special at 9 p.m. EST. “Meghan’s New Life: The Real Princess Diaries” will detail Meghan Markle’s life after going from American actress to the Duchess of Sussex. The program will bring in royal experts to discuss Meghan’s relationship with the Queen and how she and Kate Middleton honor Princess Diana’s legacy. The special will also look into how she will navigate pregnancy and raising a royal.

“How to Get Away With Murder” is also off for Thanksgiving. At 10 p.m. EST, there will be a program called “I’m Coming Home,” executive produced by Whoopi Goldberg. Actress Kristin Chenoweth (“American Gods”), country music star Jake Owen and “Shark Tank” entrepreneur Daymond John all go home and revisit their roots.

In addition, “I’m Coming Home” will feature Tyler Perry and Tiffany Haddish discussing their Thanksgiving memories and how meaningful it is to go home.

Unfortunately, the Shondaland shows won’t be back for quite a while. “Grey’s Anatomy” Season 15, “Station 19” Season 2 and “How to Get Away With Murder” Season 5 all had their fall finales last week. They’ll return to ABC in 2019.
