Thanks to COVID-19, the 2020-21 season was like none other. ABC aired far more unscripted series than usual and ran just 15 scripted series in the regular season (compared to 20 the previous year). The alphabet network launched just four new scripted series. None were hits but the programmers cancelled two and renewed the other two anyway. How will the ABC TV shows perform in the ratings during the 2021-22 season? Stay tuned!
