ABC is getting ready for a busy year as the 2024 TV season gets underway. Although the strikes by writers and actors have ended for a few months, television has only recently started to return to its regularly scheduled programming.
ABC, like many other networks, has been compelled to halt the broadcast of its scripted shows since last summer. Fortunately for viewers, the majority of these shows—including sitcoms like Abbott Elementary and The Conners—will be back on the air in the next two months.
1. The Bachelor
On March 25, 2002, ABC premiered the American dating and relationship reality television series The Bachelor. Chris Harrison served as the program’s host for the first 25 seasons. The Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad, Bachelor in Paradise, Bachelor in Paradise: After Paradise, The Bachelor Winter Games, The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart, The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons – Ever!, and The Golden Bachelor were among the spin-offs that sprang from the success of the original The Bachelor franchise.
2. The Conners Season 6
The 96-year-old Estelle Parsons as Bev, who is battling dementia, will return in Season 6, along with Mark going off to college, Becky’s romance with FedEx pilot Tyler (played by Sean Astin), Jackie readjusting her life, Dan and Darlene going on a road trip to Chicago, and an appearance by Nick Offerman, according to some hints provided to TVLine by executive producers Bruce Helford and Dave Caplan.
3. Not Dead Yet Season 2
David Windsor and Casey Johnson produced the American sitcom Not Dead Yet for ABC. It is based on Alexandra Potter’s Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up. First airing on February 8, 2023, was the series. The show was given a second season renewal in May 2023, with a start date of February 7, 2024.
4. Abbott Elementary
Quinta Brunson produced the American mockumentary sitcom television series Abbott Elementary for ABC. In it, Brunson plays Janine Teagues, a second-grade teacher at the impoverished Abbott Elementary, a fictional school in Philadelphia with a large Black student body.
Teagues is a perennial optimist. Tyler James Williams, Janelle James, Lisa Ann Walter, Chris Perfetti, William Stanford Davis, and Sheryl Lee Ralph are among the ensemble cast members.
5. American Idol Season 2
Simon Fuller invented the American singing competition television series American Idol, which is distributed by Fremantle North America and produced by 19 Entertainment and Fremantle North America. It ran for 15 seasons on Fox from June 11, 2002, to April 7, 2016. After going on vacation for two years, the series returned to ABC on March 11, 2018.

6. What Would You Do?
Since February 26, 2008, the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) has aired the situational hidden camera television series What Would You Do. The social experiment-style show, which was created by Chris Whipple, tracks the reactions of random onlookers to confrontations or unlawful activities in public spaces while keeping them in the dark about the fact that everything is staged and being captured on camera. John Quiñones, a news correspondent, has hosted the program for sixteen seasons.
7. The Rookie Season 6
Alexi Hawley is the creator of the American police procedural crime drama television series, The Rookie, which airs on ABC. The show centers on forty-year-old John Nolan, who joins the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) as the agency’s oldest rookie.
The show, which is produced by ABC Signature and Entertainment One, is based on William Norcross, a real-life LAPD sergeant who joined the force in his mid-40s after moving to Los Angeles in 2015.
8. The Good Doctor Season 7
The 2013 South Korean series of the same name served as the inspiration for the American medical drama television series The Good Doctor. After seeing the original series, actor Daniel Dae Kim purchased the rights for his production firm.
After starting to adapt the series, he finally pitched it to CBS Television Studios in 2015. Kim felt so passionately about the project that he bought back the rights from CBS, even though CBS decided not to produce a pilot. After striking a deal, Kim and Sony Pictures Television invited David Shore, the creator of the Fox medical drama House, on board to produce the project.
9. Grey’s Anatomy Season 20
The fictitious Seattle Grace Hospital—later renamed the Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital—is the setting for the American medical drama television series Grey’s Anatomy, which centers on the personal and professional lives of surgical interns, residents, and attendings.
On March 27, 2005, the show made its mid-season debut on ABC as a substitute. The title of the show is a reference to the well-known human anatomy textbook Gray’s Anatomy.
