This would mean shooting to begin around Thanksgiving.
This also depends on when (and if) SAG-AFTRA closes a deal with the AMPTP.
Other believe that its more realistic to start shooting in January.

The biggest issue on timing is the holidays both Thanksgiving and Christmas, said one web link source.
Given the writing time needed, I doubt any of these shows goes into production prior to January.
Launch in midseason or wait for fall 2024?
Some shows will be in a slightly advantageous place than others.
Many of the networks planned ahead before the walkout and made sure that there was material banked.

Dont expect too many six- to eight-episode orders, given the costs.
Marketing costs must also be taken into consideration, which means short order seasons are unlikely.
The better idea financially is to order more and hold what cant air this season for next fall.
If you knew the show was going to be on in the fall, you could carry over episodes.
There inevitably will be cancelations as well.
This will likely be followed in broadcast.
The question then becomes whether to rewrite the episode rather than search for new talent.
