We have some big news regarding the fifth season of Will Trent.

It was revealed at the Disney Upfront event that three of your favorite ABC shows — The Rookie, High Potential, and Will Trent — won’t be on the network’s fall 2026 schedule. All three shows will return in the midseason, most likely debuting in January 2027 on ABC.

“What we’ve seen the last several years, and we’ve really proven this out with Will Trent and The Rookie back in midseason of 24 and 25, is we want to give viewers a chance to watch these shows with as little interruption as possible across the season,” ABC’s SVP of Content Strategy and Scheduling Ari Goldman said. “So I think when we get to the midseason plans, and you think about the opportunities that we have on the ABC schedule, going from New Year’s Rockin’ Eve to the College Football Playoff, the Grammys, the Oscars, and obviously the Super Bowl. I think we have such amazing momentum at the start of 27 to bring the show back in a big way.”
