ABC Sets Summer Premiere Dates for Bachelorette, Claim to Fame and More
ABC has unveiled its Summer 2024 schedule, revealing when we can expect new seasons of returning favorites like The Bachelorette (starring Jenn Tran!) and celebrity guessing game Claim to Fame.
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is also making its return to ABC after being quietly yanked from the network’s schedule back in 2022. At the time, it was reported that ABC was leaving the door “slightly ajar” for the show’s potential return, but we can now upgrade that to “fully open.”

ABC is also debuting a brand-new game show, Lucky 13, hosted by Shaquille O’Neal and Gina Rodriguez. The trivia competition poses 13 true-or-false questions to its contestants, but there’s a twist: “Just how well do they know what they know … and, just as importantly, how well do they know what they don’t know? If they can accurately predict how successfully they’ve answered 13 questions, they could take home a $1 million cash jackpot.”
Additional returning hits include Judge Steve Harvey (Season 2), Press Your Luck (Season 6) and Celebrity Family Feud (Season 11).
Read on for a breakdown of ABC’s big summer premieres, then drop a comment with your picks. Which shows will you be using to beat the heat?
NOTE: This is your recurring reminder that ABC’s scheduling of unscripted shows is “opportunistic” — meaning, “when they need it.” So if you don’t see what you consider to be a “summer” show here, don’t jump to the worst conclusions. It may simply return… later.
