Tim Allen is returning to ABC. The network has ordered Shifting Gears – a new comedy starring the actor. On the network, Allen previously starred in sitcoms Home Improvement for eight seasons and in Last Man Standing for nine seasons (six on ABC, three on FOX).
Per Deadline, the new series will follow “Matt (Allen), the stubborn, widowed owner of a classic car restoration shop. When Matt’s estranged daughter Riley (Kat Dennings) and her kids move into his house, the real restoration begins.” Daryl “Chill” Mitchell, Maxwell Simkins, and Barrett Margolis also star in the series. The role of “Nick” is being recast.
Mike Scully and Julie Thacker Scully created the series and were set to serve as showrunners for the comedy, but the series will move forward without them. A new showrunner is being sought.
The premiere date and additional details about Shifting Gears will be announced later.
