It’s only June, but ABC is already making some changes to its fall schedule. The network’s upcoming FBI drama Quantico, which many have compared to Grey’s Anatomy, will now air Sundays at 10 p.m. this fall, following Blood & Oil at 9 p.m. and taking over the timeslot from Of Kings and Prophets. Quantico was originally set to air at 10 p.m. on Tuesday nights. The reason for the switch is so that Of Kings and Prophets can recast some of the series’ roles. The show will premiere at a later date. Of Kings and Prophets, which was written by Adam Cooper and Bill Collage and executive produced by Cooper, Collage, Jason Reed, Reeza Aslan, and Mahyad Tousi, is an epic Biblical saga of faith, ambition and betrayal as told through the eyes of a battle-weary king, a powerful and resentful prophet and a resourceful young shepherd on a collision course with destiny.

Plenty of genre films have been getting commemorative art produced from Ghostbusters to Fight Club, and even The Shining has its own clothing line now. But Acme Archives thought it was time that The House of Mouse got a little love too. The collectible arthouse has just revealed some new Disney prints that will be on sale starting June 20th, and they'll print as many copies as are ordered. However, much like a Disney fairytale, all of this magical artwork goes away just 10 days later at the stroke of midnight on June 30th. There's some great pieces, included an incredible design for The Little Mermaid by Mark Englert below.
