I'm guessing they probably decided to get the hiatus out of the way so that they've got plenty of new episodes available for summer & fall.

They're probably trying to spread the shows out across the year, so instead of putting all the big hiatuses in the middle of summer, some shows get big hiatuses in spring, some shows get big hiatuses in summer and some shows get big hiatuses in the fall.
