ABC is making adjustments to its Tuesday night lineup to accommodate a major news event. Both Will Trent and The Rookie will air one hour later than usual this week to make room for a special primetime interview with former President Donald Trump, marking the 100th day of his return to office.
The Trump First 100 Days special, hosted by ABC News, will take center stage during the network’s primetime slot. As a result, Will Trent and The Rookie will each shift back by an hour, with Will Trent now scheduled to air at 9 PM ET/PT and The Rookie following at 10 PM ET/PT.
Fans of both hit dramas are advised to update their viewing plans accordingly, as new episodes of each show will still air on the same night, just at later times.
ABC News has promised an in-depth interview covering Trump’s key initiatives, major policy moves, and the challenges of his first 100 days back in the Oval Office. The event is expected to draw significant national attention, prompting the network to temporarily rearrange its scripted programming lineup.
Will Trent, starring Ramón Rodríguez as the brilliant but troubled GBI agent, has built a loyal following with its gripping cases and emotional character arcs. Meanwhile, The Rookie, headlined by Nathan Fillion, remains one of ABC’s most popular police procedurals, continuing to pull strong ratings well into its seventh season.
Though time shifts can occasionally impact viewership, the buzz around the Trump special — combined with anticipation for new episodes — is expected to keep audiences tuned in throughout the night.
ABC has released updated promotional materials for both Will Trent and The Rookie, including fresh sneak peeks hinting at major developments in the ongoing storylines. Fans won’t want to miss what’s coming, even if it means staying up a little later than usual.
Be sure to adjust your DVRs, and get ready for a packed Tuesday night of both political drama and gripping crime action on ABC!
