According to TV by the Numbers, The Fosters returns with more of Season 2 on Monday, January 19. The show will pick up from where everybody left off with the summer cliffhanger. In addition, ABC Family will air a special holiday episode of The Fosters on Monday, December 8.

This season, Lena and Stef have been faced with a challenging situation as Robert Quinn wants Callie to be a part of his family. She’s been left in a tailspin over how things have played out, leading to some decisions that may not bode well for her future.

In addition, Jude and Connor are trying to maintain their friendship in the midst of their parents’ issues. Ana is now sober and she’s got big news for Mariana and Jesus, but will it be too much for them? Then there’s Brandon and an unexpected offer that makes him reconsider his musical goals. Later in the season, Rosie O’Donnell will return in the role of Rita Hendricks as well.

The news of The Fosters return and Christmas special was met with a very enthusiastic response by fans on the show’s Facebook page. The show has won numerous awards, including both the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Drama Series and the 2014 Television Academy Honors Award, and it has resonated deeply with fans.
