“Amidst this unprecedented year, we hope that viewers at home will not only be entertained but feel inspired by the impact that the honorees of the 2020 TIME100 list have made on the world,” Rob Mills, senior vice president, alternative series, specials and late night, ABC Entertainment, said in a press release.
Taylor Swift, BTS, and Khalid were among honourees last year.
TIME100 airs Tuesday, September 22, at 10 p.m. ET on ABC.
