Shows including Grey’s Anatomy, 9-1-1, and The Conners have received their official return premiere dates at ABC. Scripted shows have been delayed for the 2023-2024 network television season because of the dual Hollywood strikes that put productions on hold as writers and then actors went on strike for fair pay. The writers strike lasted for 148 days, ending on September 27 and significantly overlapping with the actors strike, which lasted for 118 days and ended on November 9.
Per TVLine, a cavalcade of ABC shows have been given their official 2024 premiere dates. This includes dates and times for returning unscripted shows like The Bachelor season 28 and American Idol season 22. However, the slate also reveals the return of delayed scripted shows including Grey’s Anatomy season 20, Abbott Elementary season 3, The Conners season 6, and 9-1-1 season 7 (which is being produced at ABC after the show was cancelled at Fox).
