Their collaboration has resulted in a show that blends traditional sitcom elements with modern storytelling, though critical reception has been mixed. Shifting Gears debuted with record-breaking ABC viewership numbers, but critics have been divided on its humor and depth. While some praise the chemistry between the leads, others find the generational humor predictable. Off-screen, both actors lead full lives beyond their television careers. Dennings, who married musician Andrew W.K. in 2023, has a passion for writing and creative projects. Allen, a lifelong car enthusiast, has incorporated his love of classic automobiles into the show, lending vehicles from his own collection for filming.
Though neither has announced specific upcoming projects beyond Shifting Gears, both remain influential figures in entertainment. Dennings has hinted at an interest in producing and writing, while Allen’s deep-rooted ties to comedy and automotive culture suggest he may continue working in those spaces. With its debut season still unfolding, Shifting Gears has yet to secure a renewal, leaving audiences to speculate on its future and what’s next for its two leading stars.
