After nearly a decade of separation the on-screen duo of Kat Dennings and Beth

After nearly a decade of separation, the on-screen duo of Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs is reuniting in the highly anticipated Season 3 premiere of ABC's comedy series 'Shifting Gears.' The showrunner of '2 Broke Girls,' Michelle Nader, has confirmed that Behrs will be joining Dennings in a guest role as Dr. Johnson, an emergency room doctor who treats Riley (Dennings) for a back injury.

Behrs' appearance on the show marks a long-awaited reunion between the two actresses, who played Max Black and Caroline Channing on CBS's '2 Broke Girls.' The news was first teased heavily, suggesting that Behrs would be playing a mystery guest character in Season 3. TVLine has now confirmed that Behrs will indeed be making her return to the show.

Nader had previously expressed her desire to reunite Dennings and Behrs on screen, citing scheduling as the main obstacle. Both 'Shifting Gears' and 'The Neighborhood,' which features Behrs in a recurring role, tape on Tuesday nights, making it challenging for the shows to find a common time slot.

'We want Beth over here. She's on the priority list of people we want on the show,' Nader said in an interview with TVLine last October. The showrunner's enthusiasm for Behrs' return is clear, and fans of '2 Broke Girls' are thrilled to see their favorite characters reunited once again.

This reunion marks a significant development in the ongoing storylines of both shows. As TVLine previously reported, producers had explored staging a '2 Broke Girls' reunion on 'The Neighborhood,' but Dennings was ultimately unavailable for a Season 5 guest role opposite Behrs. The part went to Katlyn Carlson instead.
