PILOT PICKUPS: 24: Legacy, Star

The pilot pickups are coming a little early this year with FOX already picking up two shows to series, 24: Legacy and Star . Both were near sure things through the development process. They join the already picked up Son of Zorn, Shots Fired, and the Prison Break reboot. 24: Legacy is the newest entry in the 24 franchise but it will not be with former star Kiefer Sutherland. Instead, it is more of a "sequel" than a continuation like 24: Live Another Day was. This incarnation stars Corey Hawkins, Miranda Otto, and Jimmy Smits. It will run in real time as the 24 shows did but it will only air 12 episodes a year so there will be time jumps between episodes. Star comes from Empire creator Lee Daniels and is another music drama. Starring Queen Latifah, Benjamin Bratt, and Nicholas Gonzalez, as well as newcomers Jude Demorest, Ryan Destiny, and Brittany O'Grady playing singers trying to make it in a cutthroat music business in Atlanta. It seems destined to be paired with Em...

RENEWAL ALERT: New Girl

It came a little later than some other FOX shows, but New Girl has been renewed for a sixth season. The show was held to midseason this year and some thought it might be nearing the end. But it has done better this year than last year both creatively and in the ratings. Despite anemic Tuesday ratings, New Girl has consistently been the best of the block. This leaves just Grandfathered, The Grinder, and Sleepy Hollow as bubble scripted shows for FOX.

RENEWAL ALERT: Lucifer, Rosewood

FOX announced this week that it has renewed freshman dramas Lucifer and Rosewood for second seasons. Lucifer was not much of a surprise as it premiered to strong numbers behind The X-Files and held on well for that show's run. It seemed like it might be in trouble when Gotham returned, but it has proven to be a very capable partner to Gotham  as they have been close to even in the demo the last couple weeks. Rosewood has better raw numbers than Lucifer , but it's pickup is more of a surprise to me. Unlike Lucifer , it very clearly does not seem to have much of its own audience. It had a good fall because it would lead into Empire and the half hour numbers reflected that. When it had to air in March without Empire , it plummeted in the ratings. It seems like this show is doomed to fail unless it's paired with Empire , and why would FOX waste Empire on a show like this again next season? Still not renewed but likely to be for FOX are New Girl, Family Guy, The X-Files  a...
