ABC Bets Big On Live Events As Fall Schedule Shifts To 2027
ABC’s 2026–27 slate shifts High Potential to midseason 2027 to accommodate a blockbuster early-2027 live-events bloc (College Football Playoff final, Super Bowl, relocated Grammys and Oscars). The fall lineup adds R.J. Decker and Scrubs to fall, with Celebrity Jeopardy! on Wednesdays and Celebrity Wheel of Fortune on Fridays, while The Rookie, Will Trent and Shifting Gears debut midseason alongside The Rookie: North. The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise are planned for 2027 premieres, with some short pauses to preserve a mostly uninterrupted spring run.
