Business programme Shark Tank will now be seen on Wednesdays just behind The Golden Bachelor.

However, fans have become concerned about Dr Odyssey which has not yet been renewed.

The second spin-off of the 9-1-1 franchise, aptly called 9-1-1: Nashville will air on Thursday in the 9pm slot.

This will replace Ryan Murphy’s glossy cruise ship medical drama, Doctor Odyssey.

Craig Erwich, President, Disney Television Group confirmed the show would not be a part of the schedule.

The studio executive told Deadline: “Doctor Odyssey isn’t currently on our schedule.

“Ryan’s [Murphy] really busy. He’s doing a lot with us. 9-1-1, 9-1-1 Nashville, All’s Fair.

“So we’re just continuing that creative conversations with him.”

This has led fans to worry as they took to social media as they begged ABC not to cancel Dr Odyssey.

One user begged: “Please renew Dr. Odyssey! You cancel all my favorite shows all the time!”

Ryan Seacrest’s Current Jobs

Ryan Seacrest is quite the workaholic, with the Hollywood multiphenate juggling perhaps more ongoing jobs than any other A-lister:

  • -Host of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve on ABC
  • -Host of American Top 40 on KIIS-FM
  • -Host of On Air with Ryan Seacrest on KIIS-FM
  • -Host of American Idol since its very first season in 2001
  • -Host of Wheel of Fortune as of 2024

Ryan has exited many previous roles in the past few years to get where he is today, including as an executive producer of Hulu’s The Kardashians and co-host of Live! with Kelly and Mark.

Hard work pays off; according to Celebrity Net Worth, Ryan’s worth a fortune of $450 million

A second exclaimed: “My wife loves Doctor Odyssey. How do you put out a schedule without knowing the fates of your programs?”

“I don’t think there is room on ABC’s schedule for Doctor Odyssey if renewed to get 18 episodes,” suggested a third.

While a fourth stated: “What is the deal with the constant delay of Doctor Odyssey’s fate?”

And a fifth added: “Not looking good for Doctor Odyssey. I wish they’d just say it.”
