The network’s scripted and reality TV premieres begin the following week, with “
Dancing With the Stars
” and “High Potential” returning on Tuesday, September 16. Four celebrity contestants have already been announced for season 34 of “Dancing With the Stars:” Robert Irwin, Alex Earle, Jen Affleck, and Whitney Leavitt. The reality competition series will also air live on Disney+.
Season 17 of “Shark Tank” and season 2 of
“The Golden Bachelor
” will premiere on Wednesday, September 24. “The Golden Bachelor” will initially air at 8 p.m. before moving to the 9 p.m. timeslot when “Abbott Elementary” and “Shifting Gears” return on Wednesday, October 1.
Another big night of scripted TV premieres is set for Thursday, October 16, when season 9 of “9-1-1,” season 1 of the spinoff “9-1-1: Nashville,” and season 22 of “Grey’s Anatomy” will debut back to back.
Missing from ABC’s fall schedule is “Doctor Odyssey,” which has been neither canceled nor renewed. The actor’s contracts have lapsed, and the show’s star, Joshua Jackson (Dr. Max Bankman), has a theory about the show’s future.

“They may make that show with somebody else,” Jackson told
People
on Thursday, July 17. “They haven’t let me know, but I am not holding my breath that it’s coming back.”
Jackson added that the season 1 cast, which included Phillipa Soo (Avery Morgan), Sean Teale (Tristan Silva), and Don Johnson (Captain Robert Massey), was “a really good group of people.”
“But this is a crazy and difficult business, and whatever the reasons were for them not wanting to move forward with it, they don’t actually tell us those things,” he said.
