ABC’s fall 2025 primetime lineup looks a lot like its 2024 fall schedule. The network’s coming off a season where it claimed all five of the top spots against its competition in the coveted adults 18 to 49 demographic. High Potential took the #1 spot, followed by Abbott Elementary, The Rookie, 9-1-1, and Shifting Gears.
“ABC dominated this season in multiplatform ratings, which are the most relevant metrics that reflect how audiences are consuming television today,” said Craig Erwich, president, Disney Television Group. “We are meeting viewers where they are, and this achievement really highlights our strategic approach and commitment to creative excellence. Looking ahead, we’re all about maintaining stability, delivering quality, and driving innovation, with new shows and returning favorites from some of the industry’s top creators and biggest stars.”
Dancing with the Stars and High Potential will return in their Tuesday night time slots this fall. Wednesday’s lineup will look familiar, with Shifting Gears and the Emmy-winning comedy Abbott Elementary. They’ll lead into The Golden Bachelor and Shark Tank on its new night. 9-1-1 and Grey’s Anatomy return to Thursday nights, and they’ll be joined by newcomer 9-1-1: Nashville.
Celebrity Wheel of Fortune with new host Ryan Seacrest moves to Friday nights, joining long-running newsmagazine 20/20. Sundays will bring back America’s Funniest Home Videos and The Wonderful World of Disney.
Will Trent, The Rookie, American Idol, and Celebrity Jeopardy! will premiere midseason. There’s still no official word on the status of Doctor Odyssey.
