Fans of the highly popular family drama television series, "The Fosters," are probably now just counting down the weeks as the release of the second half of the show's fourth season is slowly drawing near. With the show's scheduled release in January 2017 on Freeform, rumor reports are starting to come out of the woodwork to predict the possible outcomes of the different situations the members of the Foster family have gotten themselves into.

The last episode of the first half of season 4 episode 10 left a lot of cliffhangers and unresolved situations for avid viewers of the show. The episode showed Jesus, played by Noah Centineo, being punched on the head by Nick, played by Louis Hunter. Due to a previous accident, Jesus is in danger of sustaining some serious damage to his brain.

On the other hand, Brandon, played by David Lambert, lost his chance to get into Julliard because he chose to take the SAT exam for another student for money. Callie, played by Maia Mitchell, had it worse as she actually found herself inside the car of the suspected murderer of Mrs. Johnson. Despite their dire situations, the show's executive producer, Peter Paige, assured fans that all was going to be well and everything was going to be resolved. The producer also mentioned that the upcoming new episodes will actually "start things off the exact second" when the last episode ended.

As for the planned air date for the upcoming new episodes, a teaser posted on the show's official Facebook page revealed that the show was going to be moved to a different day and will now be airing every Tuesday on Freeform followed by "Switched at Birth."

"The Fosters" season 4B is scheduled to be back on the small screen on Jan. 31, 2017, at 8 p.m. EST on Freeform.
