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.

Writers' strike causes TV and film production shutdown.

Members of the Writers Guild of America have gone on strike due to a contract dispute with studios as the industry shifts more to streaming. Comedy and variety shows like "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and "Saturday Night Live" would be the first to go dark as they depend on writers for everything. During the last WGA strike in 2007-2008, networks leaned more heavily on unscripted shows like "Big Brother" and "Celebrity Apprentice." However, with the preponderance of streaming services now, audiences will have less of an opportunity to complain that there is nothing to watch if a strike does occur.

The CW is undergoing another round of layoffs, with more than 15 people affected, including mid- and high-level executives in marketing/promotion and finance. The cuts come amid uncertainty over the network's programming direction, which is expected to shift away from high-end scripted series to unscripted shows, news, and sports. Parent company Nexstar Media has promised to make The CW profitable by 2025 and is revamping the network's programming slate. Only flagship drama All American has been renewed for next season so far.
