New York – Dana Walden and Gary Newman, Chairmen and CEOs, Fox Television Group, today unveiled the FOX primetime slate for the 2015-2016 television season to the national advertising community during its annual Programming Presentation at the Beacon Theatre.

“Building on the phenomenal momentum created by GOTHAM, THE LAST MAN ON EARTH and, of course, EMPIRE, we’re infusing next season’s schedule with new ambitious dramas, smart comedies, aspirational unscripted series and big live events and specials – all from the best creators in the business,” said Walden and Newman. “And our strategy with these bold creative swings is simple: schedule them strategically, market them relentlessly and create events that break through and captivate viewers across every platform.”

Tuesdays are all-new this fall on FOX, with new comedies GRANDFATHERED and THE GRINDER, followed by killer comedy-horror series SCREAM QUEENS.

The new comedies kicking off an all-new Tuesday are GRANDFATHERED and THE GRINDER. A comedy about coming of age – at any age – GRANDFATHERED stars John Stamos (“Full House,” “ER”) as the ultimate bachelor whose life is turned upside down when he discovers he’s not only a father, but a grandfather. THE GRINDER, starring Emmy Award nominee Rob Lowe (“Parks and Recreation,” “The West Wing”) and Emmy Award and Golden Globe Award nominee Fred Savage (“The Wonder Years”), follows a famous TV lawyer (Lowe) who, after his hit series, “The Grinder,” is canceled, moves back home and joins his brother (Savage) at their family’s real-life law firm – despite having no formal education, no bar certification, no license to practice and no experience in an actual courtroom.

Award-winning executive producers Ryan Murphy (GLEE, “American Horror Story”), Brad Falchuk (GLEE, “American Horror Story”) and Ian Brennan (GLEE) meld comedy, mystery and horror in SCREAM QUEENS. All hell is about to break loose for the Kappa House sisters of Wallace University when a murder takes place, exactly 20 years after a mysterious death originally rocked their college campus. The super-charged anthology series is a modern take on the classic whodunit with a killer cast, including Emma Roberts (“American Horror Story: Freak Show,” “Scream 4”), Jamie Lee Curtis (“Halloween,” “A Fish Called Wanda,” “True Lies”), Lea Michele (GLEE), Oliver Hudson (“Nashville,” “Rules of Engagement”), Keke Palmer (“Akeela and the Bee,” “Masters of Sex”) and guest stars Ariana Grande and Nick Jonas (“Kingdom”), among others. With at least one casualty each week until the mystery is solved, anyone could be the next victim – or the murderer.



Two new dramas – the futuristic MINORITY REPORT and the Miami-set ROSEWOOD – debut this fall. Based on Steven Spielberg’s international blockbuster film and the first of his films to be adapted for television, MINORITY REPORT follows the partnership between a man (Stark Sands, “Inside Llewyn Davis”) haunted by the future and a cop (Meagan Good, “Think Like A Man” franchise, “Californication”) haunted by her past, as they race to stop the worst crimes before they happen.



Also joining the schedule this fall is ROSEWOOD. From executive producer Todd Harthan (“Psych,” “Dominion”), ROSEWOOD stars Morris Chestnut (“Nurse Jackie,” “The Best Man” franchise) as DR. BEAUMONT ROSEWOOD, JR., a brilliant private pathologist who uses wildly sophisticated technology and his drive to live life to the fullest to help a tough-as-nails detective (Jaina Lee Ortiz, “The After”) and the Miami PD uncover clues no one else can see.

The next mind-bending chapter of THE X-FILES debuts with a special two-night event beginning Sunday, Jan. 24 (10:00-11:00 PM ET/7:00-8:00 PM PT), following the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, and continuing with its time period premiere on Monday, Jan. 25 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT). The thrilling, six-episode event series, helmed by creator/executive producer Chris Carter and starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as FBI Agents FOX MULDER and DANA SCULLY, marks the momentous return of the Emmy Award- and Golden Globe-winning pop culture phenomenon, which remains one of the longest-running sci-fi series in network television history.

In 2016, additional new series joining the schedule include devilish drama LUCIFER and modern action series THE FRANKENSTEIN CODE; and two comedies, THE GUIDE TO SURVIVING LIFE and animated BORDERTOWN.

Based on characters from DC Entertainment’s Vertigo imprint, LUCIFER stars Tom Ellis (“Merlin”) as the charming, charismatic and handsome-as-hell original fallen angel, who, bored and unhappy in Hell, takes refuge in Los Angeles, where he uses his gift of persuasion to punish bad guys. But the longer he’s away from the underworld, the greater the threat that the worst of humanity could escape.

In THE FRANKENSTEIN CODE, from executive producer/writer Rand Ravich (“Life,” “Crisis”) and executive producer Howard Gordon (“Homeland,” “24”), a disgraced, 75-year-old ex-sheriff, whose life ends at the hands of corrupt cops, is brought back to life and given a second chance by a pair of young tech scientists, as a 35-year-old (Rob Kazinsky, “True Blood”) with unpredictable near-superhuman abilities.

NEW GIRL will return to Tuesdays in January, for its first-ever season of virtually uninterrupted originals. These weekly all-new episodes will platform THE GUIDE TO SURVIVING LIFE, the new young ensemble comedy about a group of friends living together for the first time. Each episode is told from the perspective of COOPER BARRETT (Jack Cutmore-Scott, “Kingsman: The Secret Service”), a wickedly charming and deeply flawed recent college grad whose life is filled with terrible choices, excellent mistakes and fantastic misadventures.

A new animated comedy from FAMILY GUY’s Mark Hentemann and Seth MacFarlane, BORDERTOWN is a satirical look at the cultural shifts taking place in America. Exploring family, politics and everything in between with a cross-cultural wink, the series centers on two very different families living in a fictional Southwest desert town on the U.S. - Mexico border.

AMERICAN IDOL will begin its 15th – and final – season this January on FOX. A season-long celebratory event, AMERICAN IDOL XV will feature host Ryan Seacrest and judges Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick, Jr., as they search for the final IDOL superstar and pay tribute to the past 14 seasons of amazingly talented contestants and the millions of fans who tweeted, texted and championed their IDOLs.

As previously announced, GREASE: LIVE, a three-hour production of the massively popular crossover musical “Grease,” starring superstar singers, dancers and actresses Julianne Hough (“Safe Haven,” “Rock of Ages”) and Vanessa Hudgens (Broadway’s “Gigi,” “Spring Breakers”), will air LIVE Sunday, Jan. 31, 2016 on FOX. With Hough as the angelic “Sandy” – Rydell High’s most talked-about newcomer – and Hudgens as iconic bad girl “Rizzo,” this first-ever live television production of “Grease” will re-imagine the hit musical for an entirely new generation.

Additional FOX series include: ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER?, BOB’S BURGERS, BONES, BOOM!, BROOKLYN NINE-NINE, BULLSEYE, EMPIRE, FAMILY GUY, GOTHAM, HELL’S KITCHEN, HOME FREE, THE LAST MAN ON EARTH, MASTERCHEF, MASTERCHEF JUNIOR, THE SIMPSONS, SLEEPY HOLLOW, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and WORLD’S FUNNIEST.

Additional schedule information to be announced.

Doesn't look like there's anything for me on FOX....as usual.

The Comdies on Tuesdays and Are you Smarter then a 5 Grader.

Actress Zooey Deschanel picked the wrong time getting pregnant, no offense, IMO.

why does Fox even bother renewing Bob's Burgers if they just stick in the worst time slot available? Why don't they just live Adult Swim or TBS take it like they did with American Dad?

The only show I'll watch is The Simpsons.

Lucifer is an abomination of a show. I want it to bomb harder than anything else but it probably won't. :mad:

Fox doesn't usually have anything I like.

Catsrule, why do you hate Lucifier so much?

The only thing I watch on FOX is The Simpsons and the NFL. I may watch Empire when it gets back on the air.

Catsrule, why do you hate Lucifier so much?It's a show that glorifies Satan and portrays him as a hero.

So if John Stamos is going to be on the new show the Grandfathered does that mean he won't be on the new Fuller House in 2016?

It's a show that glorifies Satan and portrays him as a hero.


That doesnt sound interesting to me at all. That show will probably last 6 weeks.

It looks FOX is completely reducing the amount of Teen entertainment from its network.

Lucifer is an abomination of a show. I want it to bomb harder than anything else but it probably won't. :mad:
I agree. Hopefully it won't last long.

Maybe Zoey didn't pick it, it just happened.

Yeah, I know now that FOX has completely reduced its teen entertainment marketing due to a bad increase buildup of young female audiences, which is intolerable.

No wonder:

1.) Actress Zooey Deschanel became pregnant too quick in the wrong time forcing New Girl to return by midseason..

2.) American Idol had to end its run after this year ever since that Season 2 finale incident.

3.) SYTYCD Mary Murphy had to leave due to being paid too much.

4.) The Mindy Project was in a hurry to move to Hulu.

Another reason why Kevin O'Reily was fired:

1.) We already know that Kevin is a big friend of Glee, New Girl and The Mindy Project.

2.) We should know that Kevin was the one who created the FOX teen entertainment marketing system having these shows:

* American Idol
* So You Think You Can Dance
* Glee
* New Girl
* The Mindy Project
* SOME Animation shows
* PARTIALLY Brooklyn Nine-Nine

3.) Now here's the important reason:

"The entire FOX teen entertainment marketing system was badly setup in hurried timing technique".

No wonder:

In Glee:

- Actor Corey Montieth ended up in rehab too soon and then failed to get released from that place until his death.
- Actress Heather Morris got pregnant too soon and then luckily returned to this show on time.
- Actress Melissa Benoist was doing an alternative filming project and failed to take a break to return to this show's series finale.

In New Girl:

- Actor Damon Wayans Jr. was added as fourth young male character, rather than using a third female character, to be confirmed as a sixth member.
- Actress Zooey Deschanel got pregnant too soon and forced this show to return midseason.

In The Mindy Project:

- The public overcriticized Mindy's looks too far when she is not a complete threat at all.
- These three actresses Zoe Jarman, Anna Camp and Amanda Setton were let go too soon in a hurry, due to attracting too many young female audiences too quick, but they were considered romantic comedy actress types.
- Was created by NBC Universal and was accepted by FOX in a hurry due to this system.

In American Idol:

- It has been revealed that its dial-tone system is too cheap and too poor to be set up completely.
- They are appraising and depraising the wrong contestants.

In So You Think You Can Dance:

- Judge Mary Murphy was getting both too popular (on both her latin-ballroom talent and her latin-ballroom formations) and paid too much than the other judges, and also attracting too many young female audiences too quick, so she had to leave.

Well now I'm glad:

- The entire FOX teen entertainment marketing system is reduced and then to shutdown position most likely, even if Kevin was the one who created it in a bad technique and then got fired.

- Glee is no longer in television air after its series finale airing.

- New Girl will no longer be a teen type of show when it returns to mid-season.

- Brooklyn Nine-Nine will officially become a real adult type of show than a teen type of show, since it is more talented on Sunday nights.

- The Mindy Project will no longer be a teen type of show when it continues getting aired in a private online streaming network permanently.

- American Idol is about to end right away.

Knock Knock Live is a show on the Fox Network hosted by Ryan Seacrest... no, wait, Knock Knock Live WAS a show on the Fox Network hosted by Ryan Seacrest. After two disastrously-rated episodes, the network has cancelled the series. Its timeslot (Tuesdays at 9) will be filled with encores of The Last Man on Earth and Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Minority Report Order Cut By 3 Episodes

http://deadline.com/2015/10/minority-report-order-cut-fox-cancelation-1201572471/

'Rosewood' picked up for a full season on FOX

http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2015/10/16/rosewood-picked-up-for-a-full-season-on-fox/478932/

My listings show Minority Report is still new next Monday but is pulled on November 9 for a Bones repeat. At that point 7 out of the 10 episodes will have aired so I'm guessing it's benched for November sweeps and the remaining 3 will be burned off in December.

All four shows will form a new Tuesday comedy block. Fox also announced that American Idol will kick off its final season on Jan. 6. Sleepy Hollow moves to Fridays, while Gotham returns Feb. 29 and Empire will wait until March 30 to show the remainder of its second season. Bones, meanwhile, is nowhere to be found on Fox's midseason schedule.

FOX changed its mind and has uncancelled Wayward Pines.

The final season of American Idol will be cut short, by four weeks:

A press release about American Idol's farewell season with all of the details:

(From January 6, the day of its premiere.)

The final season of AI will last 14 weeks. According to this press release, the grand finale of American Idol will take place on April 6 and 7, preceded by a retrospective on April 5.

FOX renews both Scream Queens and Empire

Second Chance is moving to Fridays starting January 29; Hell's Kitchen will take over the post-American Idol timeslot, beginning January 27.

http://tvline.com/2016/01/22/second-chance-moved-to-friday/

The Last Man on Earth returns March 6, in the Sundays-at-9:30 timeslot. Bordertown will move to the Sundays at 7 PM timeslot, preceding Bob's Burgers.

http://tvline.com/2016/02/05/last-man-on-earth-spring-premiere-date-fox/

I have serious question to ask:

"Why is FOX enterainment having a hard time becoming equal to the entertainments of ABC, CBS and NBC, for no reason at all?"

Bones is renewed for a 12th and final season of 12 episodes. Series stars Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz are set to return.

http://deadline.com/2016/02/bones-final-season-fox-david-boreanaz-emily-deschanel-return-1201698714/

Houdini and Doyle will air Mondays at 9:00 starting May 2. I'm looking forward to this.

http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2016/02/25/houdini-doyle-will-help-fill-foxs-summer-schedule/

How many episodes is Bob's Burgers airing during the 2015-16 season (its sixth one)? Only 10 episodes will have aired by March 13, and the 11th episode doesn't air until April 3.

Gotham Renewed for a 3rd Season
http://deadline.com/2016/03/gotham-renewed-season-3-fox-1201721827/
