JFC, this is bleak. I get that ABC went realistic with their schedule, assuming nothing will be accomplished in time to air any scripted programming in the fall, but like... repeats of Abbott Elementary instead of a new unscripted series? (And they have season two of The Wonder Years airing this summer! Just save it for fall!) A senior version of The Bachelor at 10:00pm on a Monday? Disney movies on Sunday nights? Woof. The best decision they made here was to move Dancing with the Stars back (though it will still air simultaneously on Disney+), which will need to be yet another reboot of the series since Tyra Banks left as host and longtime judge Len Goodman passed away recently.

Midseason

ABC is banking hard on midseason. It'll have the seventh season of 9-1-1, which is on the move from Fox, in addition to all of its renewed comedies and dramas. (The only shows that haven't had their fate decided are third season comedy Home Economics and freshman drama The Rookie: Feds.) They also ordered a new procedural from Drew Goddard (an Academy Award nominee for writing The Martian who also created the Netflix Daredevil series) called High Potential. It's going to be busy over there.

Unscripted

The Golden Bachelor - After more than 20 years of fostering young love on The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise, The Golden Bachelor showcases a whole new kind of love story – one for the golden years. On this all-new unscripted series, one hopeless romantic is given a second chance at love in the search for a partner with whom to share the sunset years of life. The women arriving at the mansion have a lifetime of experience, living through love, loss and laughter, hoping for a spark that ignites a future full of endless possibilities. In the end, will our Golden man turn the page to start a new chapter with the woman of his dreams? The Golden Bachelor is produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon.
