ABC polishes ‘Golden’ franchise, adds ‘Doctor’ at sea
Here’s hoping a second chance at love for “The Golden Bachelorette” lasts longer than a few months.
ABC has revealed its fall 2024 schedule, which includes the highly anticipated female-led spinoff. Last fall, the first “Golden Bachelor,” septuagenarian Gerry Turner, fell in love with Theresa Nist. The two wed in a lavish, televised ceremony in January and announced their split in April. Still, on Wednesdays, we will wear gold.
The newest addition to the “Bachelor” franchise is joined Wednesday night by “Scamanda.” The new docuseries is adapted from a popular true-crime podcast of the same name centered on a woman who blogged about her long fight with cancer. But not all was as it seemed.
Joshua Jackson and Don Johnson lead the Ryan Murphy-created “Doctor Odyssey” set for Thursdays. Jackson stars in the medical procedural as Max, the physician aboard a high-end cruise ship on the high seas tasked with caring for guests. In Tuesday night’s “High Potential,” Kaitlin Olson portrays Morgan, a savvy single mom who partners with an experienced detective to solve puzzling cases.
Do a celebratory samba because “Dancing With the Stars” returns, as well as the network’s comedy “Abbott Elementary” and the long-running “Grey’s Anatomy” for its 21st season.
“Station 19” and “The Good Doctor” both are airing their series finales this month. “Roseanne” spinoff “The Conners” will say goodbye next year with Season 7. It will premiere midseason, as will “American Idol,” “The Bachelor,” “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune” “The Rookie,” “Will Trent,” “What Would You Do?” and “Celebrity Jeopardy!” At midseason, ABC will revive “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” with Reese Witherspoon as an executive producer and Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin of “Get Organized With The Home Edit” as hosts.
“Not Dead Yet,” which starred Gina Rodriguez as an obituary writer, was canceled after two seasons.
