Jenna Elfman Joins ABC's Shifting Gears

Jenna Elfman is set to join the cast of Tim Allen's upcoming ABC sitcom 'Shifting Gears' in a recurring role as Eve Drake, a spirited choreographer who owns a dance studio across from Allen's character's classic car restoration shop. The series, which also stars Kat Dennings as Matt's estranged daughter, centers on family dynamics and reconciliation as they navigate their complicated relationship. 'Shifting Gears' is produced by 20th Television and will premiere on January 8, 2025, at 8 PM, with episodes available on Hulu the following day. Elfman's return to multi-camera comedy follows her successful run on 'Dharma & Greg' from 1997 to 2002. The show aims to capture character-driven humor reminiscent of classic sitcoms, focusing on heartfelt moments rather than topical issues. With a strong ensemble cast and a nostalgic premise, 'Shifting Gears' looks to appeal to fans of traditional sitcoms.
