ABC is the second Broadcaster to reveal plans for a post-strike mid-season shcedule.
The Network plans early February 2024 returns for comedies The Conners, Not Dead Yet, and Abbott Elementary, while returning dramas such as Will Trent, The Rookie, and The Good Doctor will air towards the end of the month.
Meanwhile, ABC staples Grey’s Anatomy, 9-1-1 (kicking off its seventh season on ABC after its cancelation on FOX), and Station 19 will see March returns.
Additionally, new drama series High Potential, originally set to air over the 2023/24 Broadcast season, will now air as part of ABC’s 2024/25 season, meaning it may not see the light of day until Fall, or even mid-season (January 2025).
ABC has promised additional programming announcements the coming weeks.
