Seann William Scott’s Shocking Pay Raise for Shifting Gears Season 2—What His Divorce Has to Do With It!

One of the biggest surprises of the year so far, at least in terms of the 2025 TV schedule, was the highly enviable viewership numbers earned by Tim Allen and Kat Dennings’ latest network sitcom Shifting Gears. The quick success sparked ABC to order up a Season 2 renewal fairly quickly, despite some rumors indicating otherwise, and it looks like co-star Seann William Scott locked up a sizable salary increase, which was unexpectedly unveiled through a divorce-related court filing.

Though everything related to his small-screen gig may be on the up and up, Scott is currently still enmeshed in settling some post-divorce divorce details with ex Olivia Korenberg. Though their split was officially finalized in May 2024 following the February 2024 filing, Korenberg asked the court in May 2025 to amend the child custody and support agreement, claiming that he was attempting to kick her and their daughter out of a home he allegedly agreed to let them live in.

As a counter to her claims, according to InTouch, Seann William Scott filed his own motion to remove certain allegations made by Korenberg that were seen as hearsay, and it’s through this filing made on May 28 that the actor’s boost in Shifting Gears pay was revealed.
