‘Dancing With the Stars,’ ‘911’ and ‘Scrubs’ (but Not ‘Celebrity Jeopardy!’) Set Fall Debut Dates on ABC
ABC has released its autumn 2026 premiere schedule, revealing that season five of Celebrity Jeopardy! has been delayed until 2027. In its place, the network will air a continuation of the current series of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, on Wednesday nights from 7 October. The rollout also confirms return dates for hit shows including Dancing With the Stars and the Thursday drama block of 911, 911: Nashville and Grey's Anatomy, while several major titles are being held back for midseason.
The autumn schedule begins on 14 September with the season's first Monday Night Football broadcast, followed the next night by Dancing With the Stars and the second season of R.J. Decker. Further premieres follow through late September and October, including America's Funniest Home Videos and The Wonderful World of Disney on 27 September, Scrubs and Shark Tank on 30 September, and Abbott Elementary alongside Millionaire on 7 October. The 911 dramas and Grey's Anatomy close out the rollout on 15 October, while shows such as High Potential, The Rookie and Will Trent, plus new spin-offs The Rookie: North and a Texas-set Grey's Anatomy series, have been reserved for midseason.
