ABC Sets Midseason Schedule: Scrubs Revival, The Rookie And Will Trent Return Dates Revealed

ABC on Tuesday revealed its 2026 midseason schedule, which includes the returns of "The Rookie" and "Will Trent," as well as the highly anticipated debut of its "Scrubs" revival.

It all kicks off Sunday, Jan. 4. That week, every scripted series that aired this fall returns with new episodes, including Thursday's trio — "9-1-1," "9-1-1: Nashville" and "Grey's Anatomy."

Additionally, "High Potential" is moving an hour earlier, sandwiched between "Will Trent" Season 4 and "The Rookie" Season 8.

Once "Shifting Gears" wraps its 13-episode sophomore run, "Scrubs" will join "Abbott Elementary" on Wednesday nights. Season 10 of the medical comedy — featuring returning stars Zach Braff, Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke — will commence with a two-episode premiere on Wednesday, Feb. 25.

On the unscripted front, "American Idol" Season 24 — its ninth season on ABC — will begin Monday, Jan. 26. Typically, "Idol" launches on Sundays, then adds Mondays at the start of Hollywood Week. This year, Hollywood Week will relocate to Nashville for what's being dubbed "Hollywood Week: Music City Takeover,"
