ABC is doubling down with Ryan Murphy on Thursday nights. The Alphabet network revealed a fall 2024 schedule on Tuesday that features the Murphy’s “9-1-1” and newcomer “Doctor Odyssey” on Thursday nights.

The move now turns the night — long the home for Shonda Rhimes’ hit “TGIT” franchises, into a bit of a “TGIM” — “Thank God It’s Murphy” — and shifts “Grey’s Anatomy” to 10 p.m.

Also, the network revealed that it is going with an “Abbott Elementary” island on Wednesdays, sandwiched between a 90-minute format for “The Golden Bachelorette” and then the unexpected, previously unannounced true crime ABC News docuseries “Scamanda.”

Meanwhile, with sports on Mondays and Fridays, and the decision to keep “Wonderful World of Disney” movies on Sundays, the network is holding some of its key players for midseason.

That means hits “The Rookie” and “Will Trent” won’t be back until the start of the year, nor will the final season of “The Conners.” Erwich says the pushes are meant to take advantage of the “tremendous promotional opportunity” of college football throughout the fall and “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” in January, while also allowing the dramas more uninterrupted runs — “The Rookie” and “Will Trent” are both looking at 18-episode seasons.

Besides “Doctor Odyssey,” ABC’s only new series is “High Potential,” starring Kaitlin Olson, which will air Tuesdays at 10 p.m. behind “Dancing with the Stars.”
