LOS ANGELES -- ABC is adding throwbacks -- like My So Called Life -- and a handful of new digital series to its streaming app as part of a major revamp.

The network announced the launch of seven new digital shows for its app Wednesday (check out an exclusive clip of Modern Family star Ty Burrell's digital series below).

The app itself will also get a facelift. There will be a redesigned user interface exclusively for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple TV that improves discovery and navigation, ABC said.

“Our team has completely reimagined the digital viewing experience for ABC fans,” Karin Gilford, SVP of Digital Media at ABC Television Network, said in a statement. “All of this allows us to expand beyond the bounds of our linear schedule and extend ABC storytelling to viewers across screens and platforms.”

Here's a full list of the new digital programming (plus an exclusive clip of Burrell's show):
