Disney’s Craig Erwich On Strike Impact, Ending ‘Station 19’ & ‘Good Doctor’, Unscripted Shift At 10 PM, ‘Only Murders’ Going To LA & More


Disney Television Group President Craig Erwich speaks about the effects from the Hollywood strikes, recent cancellations, programming the 10 PM hour.

ABC kicked off the post-strike return of its scripted series last week with the network’s three comedies, one of which, flagship Abbott Elementary, received an early Season 4 renewal just a couple of days later. Erwich, who oversees ABC Entertainment, Hulu Originals, Disney Branded Television and Freeform, addressed whether the network would do pilot or straight-to-series pickups this year for other shows to join Drew Goddard’s High Potential next season. We have these long-running procedurals, we have this incredible lineup of family friendly comedy shows like Conners and Abbott, we have an amazing resource in ABC News and we probably have the three Tiffany unscripted franchises in Idol, Dancing and Bachelor.
