‘Scrubs’ Reboot, ‘Bachelorette’ (But Not ‘The Bachelor’) Get Midseason Dates at ABC

ABC’s midseason slate includes the return of Scrubs after more than 15 years and the return of The Bachelorette following a much shorter absence — but not the network’s usual winter staple, The Bachelor.

After a behind-the-scenes upheaval within the franchise earlier this year that resulted in the exit of showrunners Claire Freeland and Bennett Graebner and the hiring of Bachelor in Paradise EP Scott Teti to lead The Bachelor, season 30 of the show is being pushed to a later date (which is still to be determined). Season 22 of The Bachelorette, with Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul in the title role, will be the next version of the franchise to hit ABC, beginning March 22.

The Bachelorette will run on Sunday nights — previous seasons have mostly aired on Mondays or Tuesdays — and American Idol will fill The Bachelor’s usual Monday spot on the ABC schedule starting Jan.
