Good news, Shifting Gears fans! The ABC sitcom is gearing up for another season. This is no surprise, as it was the number one comedy on the network last season.

The series centers on car shop owner Matt Parker (Tim Allen), who recently lost his wife but now lives with his daughter, Riley (Kat Dennings), who, after going through a divorce, moved back in with her two children, Georgia (Barrett Margolis) and Carter (Maxwell Simkins).

At the end of Season 2, Riley was stuck in a love triangle as her ex-boyfriend, Andy (Jesse Williams) wanted to get back together with her at the same time Gabe (Seann William Scott) said he wanted to be in a relationship with her. Who will she choose? Plus, Matt and Eve Drake (Jenna Elfman) broke up, and she continued to tour. How will that play out?

Since the Season 2 finale left fans on a cliffhanger, they will finally get to see how it plays out. Here’s what we know about the future of the show.

Has Shifting Gears been renewed for Season 3?

Yes! Shifting Gears will return for a third season on ABC. The news was confirmed on April 30 when the cast posted an Instagram video with them all shouting “Three!”

“And… we’re back!” Allen said.

“Hop in, we’re driving to season 3 #ShiftingGearsABC is returning for a new season!” the Instagram post was captioned.
