ABC Sets Fall Premiere Dates For Grey's, Abbott, DWTS, 9-1-1 And More
ABC on Wednesday became the third broadcast network (after NBC and The CW) to lock down premiere dates for the Fall TV season.
The new season gets underway on Tuesday, Sept. 17 with a fresh installment of Dancing With the Stars (also streaming on Disney+) leading into the series premiere of High Potential, which stars It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Kaitlin Olson as an unassuming genius who helps the police crack tough cases.
ABC's other scripted debut — Doctor Odyssey, starring Joshua Jackson and Don Johnson and executive-produced by Ryan Murphy — premieres Thursday, Sept. 26, nestled between new seasons of 9-1-1 and Grey's Anatomy. Also making its debut that month: The Golden Bachelorette, with leading lady Joan Vassos.
Then in October, the Emmy-winning comedy Abbott Elementary returns for another school year, and Shark Tank kicks off a new season of cutting deals.
All told, ABC's primetime rollout looks like this:
