The *2 Broke Girls* magic is officially coming back to primetime TV! Actress Beth Behrs is heading to the ABC comedy series *Shifting Gears* for its upcoming third season, setting up a highly anticipated television reunion with her former co-star Kat Dennings. Reports confirm that Behrs will step into a guest-starring role as Dr. Johnson. Her character is described as a stunning emergency room physician who ends up taking care of Dennings’ character, Riley, after she suffers an unexpected back injury.
Are Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs reuniting on TV?
This upcoming guest appearance marks the first time the duo will share the screen on a major broadcast series since their hit CBS sitcom wrapped its six-season run back in 2017. For years, millions of viewers loved watching their effortless comedic chemistry as Max Black and Caroline Channing, making this new team-up an exciting treat for comedy fans. Dennings currently anchors *Shifting Gears*, bringing her signature quick wit and sharp timing to the network line-up. Bringing Behrs into the fold for a hospital-set plotline guarantees plenty of hilarious banter between the two longtime real-life friends.

Who does Beth Behrs play on Shifting Gears?
As Dr. Johnson, Behrs gets to swap her usual sitcom set for a doctor's coat, though the humor remains front and center. Having Riley end up in the emergency room under the care of a gorgeous physician played by her former co-star creates the perfect setup for physical comedy and classic TV sparks. Outside of her upcoming trip to *Shifting Gears*, Behrs has stayed a mainstay on television screens as one of the stars of *The Neighborhood*. Meanwhile, Dennings continues to build her primetime presence on ABC, proving that both actresses remain powerhouse names in the TV landscape. Fans who miss their iconic dynamic won't have to wait long to see them side-by-side again. With Season 3 approaching, this guest stint is already shaping up to be one of the buzziest television cameos of the season.
