SitcomsOnline Digest: ABC Declares Rating Victories for 22-23 Season; Australian Version of The Office in the Works

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! We're in the summer season, and you know what that means--news is light! Nonetheless, we have more ratings news, news of an Australian version of The Office that we won't get to see in the United States (at least not initially), and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

We mentioned last week that CBS was the most watched network in the 2022-2023 season, but ABC had some victories of their own as well when you only consider primetime non-sports programming. (Deadline)
It's possible that it's 20 years too late, or maybe it's just about time, but Prime Video Australia has ordered an Australian version of The Office with a female lead, but don't expect to see it in the United States as it will be streaming in every country except the United States. (Variety)
A season premiere date for the fourth season of Miracle Workers has been set, that is, assuming TBS doesn't cancel it first. (TVLine)
A trailer for the third season of The Righteous Gemstones has been released. (Deadline)
