Fans have been excited after learning that "Switched At Birth" has been renewed. For the first time in the show's history, the TV series will not be premiered in January.

The season 4 of "Switched At Birth" ended after Bay, played by Vanessa Marano, and Daphne, played by Katie Leclerc, received a shocking news in China. In the last episode of season 4, Bay received a phone call about some emergency in Kansas. However, the plot where the next season will pick up is still unknown.

Bay and Daphne have been living in China for ten months already before they received an emergency call. Fans have been wondering if they will be leaving China and if season 5 will pick up to that story as well. Will they be flying back to Kansas?

Crossmap reported that Bay and Daphne will be rushing back to Kansas because John and Kathryn Kennish will be filing for divorce. Fans have also been wondering if John's character will be killed if a divorce takes place since he already has heart problem. Could it be money problems that has been dragging down their marriage?

On the other hand, a few episode names have been revealed. International Business Times has recently revealed the names of the first few episodes.

"Episode 1 will be titled "The Call" and that it will premiere in 2016. The new season will definitely not follow the trend that seasons 2, 3 and 3 set by premiering in January; instead, season 5 episode 1 will be aired in April 2016," International Business Times revealed. "It would mark the debut of 'Switched at Birth' in Freeform TV, which is the new name for ABC Family."

Meanwhile, the cast mambers are excited to be working on the series again.
