Nevertheless, issues are a bit brighter on ABC’s 2025 Fall schedule, which incorporates scripted programming. We’ll simply should ignore the pesky soccer impact on two of the community’s heaviest hitters.
As soon as once more, ABC shall be airing Monday Evening Soccer, so the community loses out on primetime scripting for a full evening.
It’s labored to their benefit, although, and so they’re in a position to stack the remainder of the week with a few of its finest programming.
Tuesdays, for instance, will characteristic the hit competitors collection Dancing with the Stars, and Wednesday will see the business-geared actuality TV hit Shark Tank change over from Friday evening, getting a doubtlessly sturdy lead-in from The Golden Bachelor.

It’s not ultimate as we proceed to mourn the lack of scripted fare in favor of sports activities and actuality TV, however in comparison with different networks like FOX and NBC, there’s a minimum of one thing to carry onto right here.
Two Fan Favourite Sequence Will Journey the Bench Till Midseason
The unhealthy information for diehard followers of Will Trent and The Rookie is that, but once more, ABC is withholding them from the Fall schedule.
It means they probably received’t premiere till January 2026.
They’re each two of the networks’ most profitable collection, so it’s not stunning that they’re opting to push them till midseason and comply with what has labored up to now.
It’s additionally a good way to stretch out the scripted programming that ABC does have, not to mention give them sufficient time to concentrate on debuts reminiscent of 9-1-1: Nashville.
Plus, with each collection scoring 18 episodes, we’ll get uninterrupted airing.
Excessive Potential Carries the Starting of the Week
For these of us who’re solely within the scripted fare, Excessive Potential’s extremely anticipated sophomore season will do the heavy lifting by being the one procedural to make it to the schedule in the beginning of the week.

It’ll be one of many shiny spots within the Fall lineup, and it’s certain to amass the scores and viewership wanted.
9-1-1: Nashville Steals Physician Odyssey’s Spot
It’s not trying good for Physician Odyssey.
ABC hasn’t introduced that it axed the collection but, however with it not making an look on the Fall schedule, may or not it’s doomed?
There have been combined reactions to the collection, but it surely’s additionally a Ryan Murphy manufacturing headlined by Joshua Jackson, and ABC will not be able to sink it simply but. We’ll should see.
Within the meantime, benching Odyssey is sensible to debut 9-1-1: Nashville. The community is throwing rather a lot at this franchise spinoff, and it makes good sense to provide it one of the best shot at success by pairing it with 9-1-1 and Gray’s Anatomy for a Thursday evening heavy-hitter.
