Fox
Fox on Monday became the third broadcast network (following CBS and NBC) to unveil its schedule for the Fall TV season. What shows are on the move, where did new ones land, and what’s on hold until midseason?
THE BIG MOVES
* Fox’s fall lineup once again consists of just four hours of scripted entertainment — and just three live-action titles: “Animal Control” (relocating to Sundays behind “The Simpsons”) and Tuesday dramas “Best Medicine” and “Doc.” The network’s other fall scripted returnees are animated comedies “Universal Basic Guys” and “Grimsburg” (the latter of which last aired in July 2025).
* The remainder of the schedule is identical to last fall, with “Celebrity Name That Tune” and “Celebrity Weakest Link” airing Mondays, “The Floor” and “99 to Beat” on Wednesdays, and “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test” on Thursdays.
* The “Baywatch” sequel series (starring Stephen Amell as Hobie Buchannon) will launch in January. Also held for midseason are the Stephen Fry espionage thriller “The Interrogator,” new seasons of “Memory of a Killer” and “Murder in a Small Town” (now co-starring Peter Gallagher), and animated vets “American Dad!,” “Bob’s Burgers,” “Family Guy,” and “Krapopolis.”
“We have a rich history of launching series at midseason,” Fox Television Network President Michael Thorn told reporters Sunday. “We just did it most recently with ‘Best Medicine’ and ‘Memory of a Killer,’ and ‘Doc’ before that. And as you know, it goes all the way back to ’24’ and ‘Empire,’ and the ‘9-1-1s’ and ‘The Resident.’ Obviously, ‘Baywatch’ is a huge, huge priority for us, and we think we have a great opportunity to set the show up for success there.”
Added EVP of Program Planning and Content Strategy Dan Harrison: “We will have another drama night at midseason. We’re not ready to announce exactly what’s going where, but we will have a second night of drama because ‘The Interrogator’ is also a big priority for us.”
* A dozen unscripted series are still awaiting premiere dates, including “The Masked Singer” (down to one cycle per season for the second straight year) and the long-delayed fourth season of “Crime Scene Kitchen,” which last aired in December 2024.
