EXCLUSIVE: Back in May, two weeks into the WGA strike, ABC picked up one new scripted series for the 2023-34 season: Drew Goddard’s High Potential starring Kaitlin Olson. In late September, two days after the end of the WGA strike, the high-profile series was pushed to a fall 2024 launch.
As the anticipated restart of Hollywood production gets delayed further and further by the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, most other new scripted broadcast series picked up last spring for the 2023-24 season are also looking to debut next season.
I hear NBC and Fox are each expected to push both of their upcoming new scripted series, originally targeted for this coming midseason, to 2023-24. That includes NBC’s workplace comedy St. Denis Medical, starring Wendi McLendon-Covey, and medical drama Dr. Wolf, headlined by Zachary Quinto, as well as Fox’s medical drama Doc and lifeguard drama Rescue: Hi-Surf.
Additionally, two of CBS’ new series, drama Matlock, headlined by Kathy Bates, and comedy Poppa’s House, starring Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr., are headed to next season, I hear.
According to sources, The Good Wife spinoff Elsbeth, starring Carrie Preston, and Tracker, toplined by Justin Hartley, remain on track for midseason.
Reps for CBS, NBC and Fox declined comment.
As Deadline reported last week, returning series will need between 3-6 weeks of prep and pre-production after the end of the strike before they can start filming new episodes. For new series, that timeframe is longer due to factors like casting, set building and relocation.
With the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike near but not here yet, and the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday breaks coming up, new series are facing extremely tight production schedules to be able to
