**LOS ANGELES, CA** – ABC has released the first trailer for its upcoming family sitcom, *Shifting Gears*, starring Tim Allen and Kat Dennings. The multi-camera comedy premieres January 8, 2025, at 8/7c on ABC, and streams on Hulu the following day.
The show centers on Matt (Allen), a widowed classic car restoration shop owner whose life is thrown into chaos when his estranged daughter Riley (Dennings) and her two children move in with him. The trailer showcases the comedic clash between Matt’s old-fashioned values and Riley’s modern parenting style, promising a blend of humor and heartwarming family moments.
The supporting cast includes Seann William Scott, Daryl Mitchell, Maxwell Simkins, and Barrett Margolis. The show is set in the working-class suburbs of Detroit and explores the challenges of family reconciliation and generational differences while keeping a family business afloat.
*Shifting Gears* marks a return to family-centric sitcoms for Allen, reminiscent of his work in *Last Man Standing* and *Home Improvement*. Dennings, known for her roles in *2 Broke Girls* and *Dollface*, brings a fresh comedic energy to the series. ABC is positioning the show as a potential mid-season hit, hoping to attract both Allen’s established fanbase and a new audience drawn to Dennings’ comedic style.
