New ABC Shows

ABC ordered two pilots for the 2026-2027 season:

The Rookie: North: The second spinoff, premiering midseason, will film its pilot in Vancouver, with Jay Ellis and Chris Sullivan starring.

Do You Want Kids?: The single-camera comedy series follows a married couple who have a kid in one universe but none in another. It stars Rachel Bloom, Dan Gregor, and Trent O’Donnell, and executive-producing the series are Steven Levitan, Danielle Stokdyk, and Jeff Mortin.

However, only Rookie: North was picked up for the season.
