All month of June will also see live sporting events, with two major sports championsips - the NBA Finals and the NHL Stanley Cup Finals.
Summer series officially gets underway with Jenn Tran who will charm audiences when The Bachelorette begins Monday, July 8 from 8-10pm. Celebrity Family Feud celebrates 100 episodes and its 10th anniversary, beginning Tuesday, July 9. The evening will kick off with the previously announced special Family Feud: Decades of Laughs, honoring 50 years of the iconic game show, followed by the season premiere of Celebrity Family Feud at 9pm, before moving to 8pm the following week. Steve Harvey serves as the judge, jury and star when Judge Steve Harvey returns the following week on Tuesday, July 16. Renewed for a new season and celebrating the show's 25th anniversary, Jimmy Kimmel hosts Who Wants To Be A Millionaire/, premiering Wednesday, July 10 at 8pm. This iteration will feature a new twist with two celebrity contestants playing together with the hope of winning $1 million for the charity of their choice. Joining the Wednesday lineup is the third season premiere of Claim to Fame, with Kevin and Franklin Jonas returning as hosts at 9pm. The 2024 ESPYS Presented by Capital One returns to ABC, live from 8-11pm ET on Thursday, July 11, and will feature some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment. A host will be announced at a later date.
Press Your Luck scores a sixth season renewal, which will debut Thursday, July 18 at 8pm, followed by the brand-new game show, Lucky 13 at 9pm, co-hosted by Shaquille O'Neal and Gina Rodriguez. This high-stakes primetime quiz show will test contestants' knowledge with 13 true-or-false trivia questions but with a cunning twist: Just how well do they know what they know … and, just as importantly, how well do they know what they don't know? If they can accurately predict how successfully they've answered 13 questions, they could take home a $1 million cash jackpot. ABC has not made any decisions on other summer game show staples $100,000 Pyramid, The Chase or Generation Gap. Perhaps some of those will be used next winter.

NBC has renewed the comedy series Night Court for a third season in 2024-25. The second season, executive produced by Dan Rubin, Melissa Rauch, Winston Rauch and John Larroquette, has reached 24 million total viewers across linear and digital platforms to date. The eternally optimistic Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch) follows in the footsteps of her revered late father, Judge Harry Stone, as she takes on the challenge of overseeing the night shift of a Manhattan arraignment court. Abby always sees the best in people and her passion for justice is undeniable. In her quest to bring order and dignity to the court and reign in its colorful crew of oddballs, she enlists former night court district attorney Dan Fielding (John Larroquette) to serve as the court's public defender. Still exceedingly self-confident, Fielding must adjust to a new boss and a new job - defending the downtrodden. And, beneath his arrogant demeanor, there is an empathetic side to Fielding that Abby is determined to unearth.
