Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on August 18 that Behrs is confirmed to appear in the Season 3 premiere of Shifting Gears as Dr. Johnson, an emergency‑room doctor who treats Riley for a back injury.
- Production is currently filming Season 3 and ABC has scheduled the season to premiere in 2027, though no exact airdate has been announced.
- Kat Dennings teased the surprise on Instagram, and the show’s official social post clarified Behrs’ appearance is a guest spot tied to the premiere.
- The casting reunites Behrs and Dennings, who co‑starred on 2 Broke Girls from 2011–2017, and brings Behrs back together with former 2 Broke Girls executive producer Michelle Nader.
- Key open questions remain about whether Behrs’ role will extend beyond a single episode and whether other original 2 Broke Girls cast members will appear, and the move could prompt further reunion guest casting as a promotional strategy.
