Still remaining on the bubble are comedy veteran American Housewife, Black-ish spinoff Mixed-ish and rookie Rebel as well as sophomore drama For Life.
There are no surprises with the half-hour renewals after The Conners stars recently inked new deals to return for another season and with The Goldbergs remaining one of ABC’s top-rated comedies.
The five returning series join a schedule that also includes the eighth and final season of Black-ish, The Good Doctor, Grey’s Anatomy, Station 19 and Big Sky.
The renewals are a bit more aggressive than the moves Erwich’s predecessor, Karey Burke, made a year ago during her first upfront atop the broadcast network.
ABC is set to unveil its fall schedule in a virtual presentation as part of Disney’s upfront pitch to Madison Avenue ad buyers on Tuesday.
In terms of ownership, ABC will fully own nearly all of its returning shows, with The Goldbergs produced by Sony, which also co-owns The Good Doctor, while Topher Grace-led Home Economics is a co-production with Lionsgate TV.
