Scrubs Revival, Grey’s Anatomy & More Release Dates Set for Fall

ABC Unveils Fall Lineup: Get Ready for Big Returns on Screen

The countdown to autumn is officially on, and America’s major broadcast networks are ready to deliver. ABC has officially confirmed its fall premiere dates, marking the last of the major networks to do so. The schedule is packed with scripted heavyweights and reliable unscripted favorites designed to keep viewers glued to the screen from September through October.

Fans of beloved dramas are in for a treat. Medical comedy Scrubs is making a return, kicking off the season on Wednesday, September 30th. Meanwhile, die-hard viewers of the long-running hospital saga Grey’s Anatomy will reunite for the highly anticipated Season 23 premiere on October 15th. These two massive returning shows anchor the network’s programming and promise plenty of emotional drama.

Beyond the major hits, ABC is weaving together a calendar filled with popular reality and game shows. The schedule features premieres for Shark Tank Season 18 on September 30th, setting the stage for some serious entrepreneurial showdowns. Other excitement includes the debut of 9-1-1 Season 10 and its Nashville spin-off, 9-1-1: Nashville, both premiering on October 15th, promising intense procedural drama.

The network has strategically placed these premieres to maximize viewership across the season. For example, the start of September sees the premiere of Dancing with the Stars Season 35 and R.J. Decker Season 2, along with an evening slot dedicated to sports highlights like Monday Night Football.

As the calendar progresses, more familiar faces will grace the screen. We can look forward to premieres for Abbott Elementary Season 6 on October 7th, bringing back the charm of the teaching workplace, and a premiere for 20/20 Season 49 on September 25th.

The fall schedule also includes some high-profile midseason additions. ABC has reserved spots for shows like High Potential, The Rookie and its new spinoff The Rookie: North, along with the anticipated return of The Bachelor and Will Trent and Shifting Gears. Even game shows are getting a midseason boost, with a new season of Celebrity Jeopardy! joining the queue.

This slate demonstrates ABC’s commitment to offering a diverse mix of entertainment, ensuring there is something compelling waiting for every viewer as the season unfolds. Mark your calendars—the autumn television season is about to get seriously exciting.
