ABC’s Fall 2026 schedule moves High Potential to midseason to preserve an uninterrupted run, while the Scrubs revival will premiere in fall. R.J. Decker lands the Tuesday 10 p.m. slot, and ABC renews all scripted series, adding midseason and new entries like The Rookie, Will Trent, Shifting Gears, and The Rookie: North. The Bachelor remains without a fall slot for 2026, with future Bachelor in Paradise and The Bachelorette plans still in flux, and ABC also plans to air the Super Bowl next season.
ABC renewed its two sitcoms for the 2026–27 season: the Scrubs revival and the multi‑camera Shifting Gears starring Tim Allen and Kat Dennings. Shifting Gears was ABC’s top‑rated comedy in linear ratings this season (about 5.4 million viewers) and grows to roughly 7 million per episode with streaming; the Scrubs revival premiered to 9 million cross‑platform viewers in the first seven days and reaches about 11 million in Nielsen’s 35‑day all‑platform tally, making it ABC’s No. 1 comedy among adults 18–49 in linear ratings this season. With these renewals, ABC has greenlit all but one of its current scripted shows for next season.
ABC renewed its remaining comedies Scrubs (Season 2) and Shifting Gears (Season 3) for the 2026-27 season, with no episode counts disclosed; R.J. Decker remains on the bubble at roughly 50-50, as ABC weighs its drama slate and potential budget shifts to possibly order The Rookie: North in addition to the renewals. Do You Want Kids? did not move forward. Both comedies posted solid ratings, with Scrubs delivering strong Live+7 numbers and Shifting Gears topping ABC’s linear comedy viewership, signaling continued strength for the network’s comedy lineup.
Deadline reports Scrubs’ revival is planning a Season 2 that brings back beloved original characters (notably Dr. Cox and Ken Jenkins’ Dr. Kelso) and adds more OG cameos, including Doug Murphy, Scott Foley, and Neil Flynn’s Janitor. Showrunner Aseem Batra and creator Bill Lawrence also want to reintroduce the show’s musical bits, deepen JD’s medical arc, and explore Cox’s renewed dynamic with JD, while navigating Vancouver/LA production and the limited eight-to-nine-episode framework that helped drive a likely renewal after strong Season 1 ratings.
Deadline chats with Scrubs showrunner Aseem Batra about the revival’s second season: J.D. and Elliot are divorced and navigating a new normal rather than rushing back into romance, Elliot starts dating a pilot, and J.D. meets hospital visitor Charlie (Rachel Bilson), setting up Bilson’s continued arc next season. The interns’ budding couplings (Blake-Amara, Sam-Asher) surface, with a cut scene explaining some past choices. Batra emphasizes tighter, smaller character-driven stories and confirms Bilson’s arc will expand next season, while J.D.’s return to Sacred Heart remains the emotional throughline rather than a final series ending.
