Game shows take over Thursday, with Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, Press Your Luck and The $100,000 Pyramid. Then Friday remains the same as last year’s fall schedule, with Shark Tank at 8 p.m. and two hours of 20/20 airing after that.

College Football is back on Saturday night, and Sundays are focusing on families, with America’s Funniest Home Videos and three hours of movies from The Wonderful World of Disney.

According to ABC, the timing for previously announced renewals and pickups, including 9-1-1, Abbott Elementary, American Idol, The Bachelor, The Conners, The Good Doctor, Grey’s Anatomy, Not Dead Yet, The Rookie, Station 19 and Will Trent, will come at a later date—likely after the writers strike has been settled.

In addition, the company is picking up High Potential, starring Kaitlin Olson as a single mom with an exceptional mind and unconventional knack for solving crimes. Her unique skill leads to a partnership with a seasoned detective played by Daniel Sunjata. Again, the timing is coming at a later date.

Additionally, decisions are still coming for Home Economics and The Rookie: Feds. Several pilots are also in contention, including The Good Lawyer, The Hurt Unit, Judgement, Keeping it Together (FKA Drop-Off) and Public Defenders.

ABC is the only broadcaster so far that has avoided original scripted shows entirely on its fall schedule amid the uncertainty of a writers strike, which will delay production on all scripted entertainment series until it is settled. NBC programmed a fall lineup that included its usual slate of scripted shows and said that many of them will be able to air, even in the event of a prolonged strike. CBS also unveiled a traditional fall schedule containing its scripted series, while Fox did not announce an actual fall lineup. The CW will share its fall plans on Thursday.
