Why ‘Shifting Gears’ Is Going on a Hiatus Until 2026

Shifting Gears is going on a hiatus!

The primetime ABC hit, starring Tim Allen and Kat Dennings, is airing its fall finale tonight (December 10) at its normal time. So, why is it going on a break and when will new episodes return?

Shifting Gears will be back with a brand new episode on Wednesday (January 7) at its regular time. It’s actually very common for TV shows to take breaks for the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, so this is just a regularly scheduled break in the programming.

Tonight’s episode is titled “Nutcracker.” Here’s the synopsis: This holiday season, the Parkers discover that romance isn’t always a smooth ride as Matt and Eve are on thin ice, Gabe enlists Riley to help Amelie impress his mom, and Carter seeks help with his “promposal.” Pamela Adlon guest stars.

Tune in at 8pm ET to catch it.
