ABC Finalizes 2025-26 Renewals, Leaving 'Doctor Odyssey' in Limbo

Key series like '9-1-1,' 'Grey’s Anatomy,' and 'Shifting Gears' will return, while the fate of Ryan Murphy’s 'Doctor Odyssey' remains undecided.

ABC has confirmed renewals for '9-1-1' (Season 9), 'Grey’s Anatomy' (Season 22), 'The Rookie' (Season 8), 'Shifting Gears' (Season 2), and 'Will Trent' (Season 4).
'Doctor Odyssey,' a freshman drama by Ryan Murphy, is still awaiting a decision as creative and financial evaluations continue.
ABC has greenlit '9-1-1: Nashville,' a spinoff starring Chris O’Donnell, expanding the successful '9-1-1' franchise.
'Shifting Gears,' starring Tim Allen and Kat Dennings, was renewed despite a significant ratings decline, solidifying ABC's limited comedy slate alongside 'Abbott Elementary.'
No new comedy pilots were ordered for the upcoming season, reflecting ABC’s focus on established franchises and proven performers.
