Oscars 2024 Telecast Shakeup: 2 Big Changes Announced

2. Abbott Elementary Will Air After the Telecast

A brand new episode of Abbott Elementary will be airing after the Oscars this year! This is another change we’ve not seen before, but fans are hoping that the mockumentary style comedy will have some sort of Oscars storyline involved.

In the past, local evening news programs would air after the Oscars. However, because the Oscars are now starting early, ABC might hope to squeeze the episode in before the evening news it set to air.

This move to air a new episode after a major event mirrors how the Super Bowl usually works. Post-Super Bowl, there’s always a new episode of a TV series and it usually garners big ratings.
