ABC's Fall 2023 Schedule Goes All-In on Unscripted TV Amid Writers' Strike Threats
ABC's Fall TV schedule is entirely comprised of unscripted shows, except for a pair of Abbott Elementary reruns, due to the ongoing writers' strike. The network is prepared for the possibility of a prolonged work stoppage and plans to launch most, if not all, of its scripted offerings at midseason. Certain shows may have reduced episode orders. The new schedule includes the debut of The Golden Bachelor, an AARP-focused spinoff of the dating franchise.
