Tim Allen’s Shifting Gears Greenlit by ABC Despite Writer Changes; Deets Here

As a dedicated fan of Tim Allen’s work for decades now, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement at the news that he is returning to ABC with his new series, Shifting Gears. Having grown up watching Home Improvement and following him through his six seasons on Last Man Standing, it feels like coming home to see Allen back where he belongs.


ABC has given the go-ahead for Tim Allen’s new comedy series, Shifting Gears, to proceed. In this show, Allen plays a widowed classic car business owner who finds himself living with his adult daughter and teenage kids again.

As someone who has closely followed the television industry for years, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement upon hearing that Tim Allen is coming back to ABC. With six successful seasons under his belt on Last Man Standing before it shifted to Fox for its final three installments, and having anchored another ABC hit, Home Improvement, during the 1990s, Allen’s return feels like a homecoming of sorts. It’s always fascinating to see how an artist’s career evolves over time, and Allen’s journey is no exception. I can’t wait to see what new projects he brings to ABC and how his unique talent will continue to captivate audiences.

Who are in the cast?

1) In the ensemble of Shifting Gears, Tim Allen will be joined by Kat Dennings, Daryl “Chill” Mitchell, Maxwell Simkins, and Barrett Margolis. Alongside Marty Adelstein, Becky Clements, Richard Baker, Rick Messina, and John Pasquin, Allen serves as executive producer for the series. Pasquin is both the executive producer and director of the pilot episode. Scully and Thacker Scully are the executive producers for the pilot only. Dennings produces the show herself. The studio behind it all is 20th Television. Also, Mike Scully and Julie Thacker Scully have left their roles in the series.

What does the official logline say?

As an unrelenting devotee, let me share my take: Allen embodies Matt, a tenacious, widowed proprietor of a vintage automobile refurbishment workshop. The true restoration, however, kicks off when Matt’s long-estranged daughter (Dennings) and her brood of teenagers invade his sanctuary, his home.

Release date

At present, there’s no announced release date or preview trailer for this thrilling documentary series, Shifting Gears. This action-packed show takes viewers behind the scenes of professional drifting, granting an exclusive look into the lives of drivers and their teams in the intense Formula Drift competition. By delving into the unique customs and lifestyles of these drifters, we witness their unwavering determination, deep passion, and the sacrifices they make to satisfy their cravings for speed and style.

When Shifting Gears airs again, you can expect Allen and Dennings to make it another hit sitcom.)
