Need a show to binge? These are the must watch shows this spring.
USA TODAY’s TV critic Kelly Lawler breaks down the best TV shows you don’t to want to miss this spring.
Corrections and clarifications: An earlier version of this story described the status of ABC’s “Doctor Odyssey” incorrectly. ABC says it has not made a decision about the future of the show.
“Doctor Odyssey” may have run out of big-deck energy after one season at ABC.
The network said it is weighing the future of the freshman series, but left the show off its 2025-26 schedule unveiled to advertisers on May 13. “Doctor Odyssey” follows Dr. Max Bankman (Joshua Jackson), the new doctor on board a luxury cruise ship helmed by Captain Robert Massey (Don Johnson).
But producer Ryan Murphy will get a consolation prize even if it’s canceled: Another spinoff of first-responder rescue drama “9-1-1” set in Nashville that will replace it on Thursday nights, starring Chris O’Donnell, Jessica Capshaw, LeAnn Rimes and Kimberly Williams-Paisley.
In other moves, ABC also is moving “Shark Tank” from its longtime Friday home to Wednesday nights for its 17th season, right after the second season of “The Golden Bachelor,” starring former NFL veteran-turned-lawyer Mel Owens. Disney has also given ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” a permanent berth on ABC and added a movie night on Sundays this fall.
Ryan Seacrest is adding to his “Wheel of Fortune” duties as the host of “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune” alongside Vanna White on Friday nights. Seacrest has hosted one “Wheel” season after taking over from Pat Sajak, who retired as host of the syndicated game show in June 2024.
