Overview

• 'Shifting Gears,' starring Tim Allen and Kat Dennings, has been renewed for a 10-episode second season despite a significant drop in linear ratings.
• The sitcom's renewal reflects ABC's reliance on streaming metrics and the absence of new comedy pilots for the upcoming season.
• 'Doctor Odyssey,' a high-production-cost drama with moderate ratings, remains the only ABC scripted series without a renewal decision.
• ABC has also renewed four dramas, including 'Grey’s Anatomy,' 'The Rookie,' 'Will Trent,' and '9-1-1,' while greenlighting the spinoff '9-1-1: Nashville.'
• With 'The Conners' concluding, ABC aims to stabilize its comedy slate with 'Shifting Gears' and the established hit 'Abbott Elementary.'
