After renewing its entire scripted lineup, ABC isn’t making too many changes to what works, though there is one significant switch.
The network unveiled its fall 2026 schedule on Tuesday, May 12, and in doing so, it revealed that High Potential is moving to the midseason. R.J. Decker, which premiered in the midseason, is becoming a fall show and joining Dancing With the Stars on Tuesday nights.
“We enter this fall season from a position of undeniable strength,” said President of Disney Television Group Craig Erwich. “Our focus has always been simple: Make the best shows on television and get them to audiences however they want to watch. That strategy continues to drive the success of ABC and Hulu — from legacy hits being embraced by new generations to breakout series becoming the next cultural touchstones. With a standout slate of comedies, dramas, unscripted and live programming, alongside marquee events like the Super Bowl, the College Football Playoff, the Grammys, and the Oscars in 2027, our content engine is firing on all cylinders.”
Most Monday nights will be taken over by ESPN’s Monday Night Football (and it will simulcast with ESPN).
Joining High Potential in the midseason on ABC are returning series The Bachelor, Bachelor in Paradise, Shifting Gears, The Rookie, and Will Trent. Plus, The Rookie: North, the new series in the franchise starring Jay Ellis, will also debut then. Exact dates will be announced at a later time, but expect these shows in 2027.
