ABC Moves Abbott Elementary, Slates Bachelor in Paradise for Fall

The ABC prime-time schedule for the 2022-23 fall season sees Abbott Elementary moving to Wednesday night, anchoring a comedy block.

Bachelor in Paradise leads off Monday nights, taking over from Dancing with the Stars, followed by The Good Doctor.

Tuesdays see Bachelor in Paradise leading into the brand-new The Rookie: Feds, a spin-off of the popular Sunday night police drama The Rookie and starring Niecy Nash-Betts.

Wednesday nights will feature a comedy block that kicks off with The Conners, followed by The Goldbergs and Abbott Elementary on a new night at 9 p.m. Home Economics will air at 9:30, with Big Sky moving to Wednesdays at 10 p.m.

Station 19 and Grey’s Anatomy provide a lead-in on Thursdays for the new series Alaska, from Oscar-winning writer Tom McCarthy (Spotlight) and starring two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank.

Shark Tank is back on Fridays.

ABC adds star power to long-running game show staples, with the pickup of the all-new, high-stakes Celebrity Jeopardy!, which joins the Sunday night lineup, paired with the return of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.

The freshman comedy Not Dead Yet, starring Gina Rodriguez, will debut midseason, along with the return of The Wonder Years and the drama A Million Little Things.

Unscripted series also returning midseason include American Idol, The Bachelor and Judge Steve Harvey.

“Our fall schedule is a testament to our strong, dynamic programming slate that we’re continuing to nurture with top talent, world-class, award-winning storytellers and marquee titles,” said Craig Erwich, president of Hulu Originals and ABC Entertainment. “By capitalizing on the success of our strongest assets, we’re betting on stability while also introducing and investing in key projects that will allow us to build on our momentum as the number one entertainment network for the third consecutive year.”
