ABC bounced back from the summer controversy of the Bachelor in Paradise scandal with a robust 2017-2018 season that included two of television's biggest new hits. The Good Doctor showed that audiences are still into medical dramas, while the revived Roseanne (OK, not technically "new") is performing so well that it has every network looking into their archives for even more reboots. Throw in the solid performance of the new-look American Idol, and ABC's had a better than decent season. Networks hope and pray for one new success each season, ABC got three.
That will help ABC cope with its losses, which includes the exits of Scandal and Once Upon a Time. But the biggest loss will be Shonda Rhimes' departure. The Grey's Anatomy creator has committed to Netflix for all her future projects, meaning ABC will have to find a new pipeline for reliable content that fits its brand. Nathan Fillion's The Rookie has already been given a series order, and ABC's crop of pilots includes the expected abundance of female-led cop thrillers and another show about magic.
