FOX didn't unveil its fall schedule with everyone else during Upfronts week but they released it now with premiere dates included so here it is!
MONDAYS
8:00 9-1-1 (6th season)
9:00 The Cleaning Lady (2nd season)
9-1-1 remains on Mondays at 8pm and 9-1-1: Lone Star will once again be held for midseason. FOX had a big time flop on Mondays at 9pm this past fall with The Big Leap but they fared a little better in the weekend with The Cleaning Lady so that show will come back in the fall. They probably could have aimed a little higher here but broadcast networks are not in the business of aiming high right now.
TUESDAYS
8:00 The Resident (6th season)
9:00 MONARCH
Tuesday night has the only new show on the FOX fall schedule. The long delayed country music drama Monarch will premiere after the NFL doubleheader on September 11 and then settle in on Tuesdays following The Resident. Monarch was slated to premiere in January and commercials were even on the air before FOX suddenly pulled it while maintaining it was a "high priority." They seem true to their word as it will get a big launch and is the only new show to promote.
WEDNESDAYS
8:00 The Masked Singer (8th edition)
9:00 LEGO Masters (3rd season)
Wednesdays remain unscripted with the eighth edition of the diminishing but still solid The Masked Singer paired with fellow unscripted show LEGO Masters, which was pushed back to fall after a planned summer run.
THURSDAYS
8:00 Hell's Kitchen (21st edition)
9:00 Welcome to Flatch (2nd season)
9:30 Call Me Kat (3rd season)
FOX no longer has football on Thursdays as that package has gone to Amazon. So they will pair the always reliable Hell's Kitchen with their two most recent Thursday comedies. Despite minuscule ratings, Welcome to Flatch was renewed and will get the 9pm slot while Call Me Kat will slide back to 9:30pm for its third season. What does this mean for Mayim Bialik hosting or not hosting Jeopardy?
FRIDAYS
8:00 WWE Smackdown
SATURDAYS
8:00 FOX Sports Saturday
SUNDAYS
7:00 NFL Overrun/The OT/Animated Encores
8:00 The Simpsons (34th season)
8:30 The Great North (3rd season)
9:00 Bob's Burgers (13th season)
9:30 Family Guy (21st season)
As usual, FOX is sticking with animated shows on Sunday with three of them long time staples and The Great North starting to settle into that role as well. There are several other animated shows on the bench so we'll see if this group gets broken up to start up another night of animation.
MIDSEASON: ACCUSED, ALERT, FOOD STARS, GRIMSBURG, KRAPOPOLIS, 9-1-1: Lone Star, Beat Shazam, Crime Scene Kitchen, Don't Forget the Lyrics, Fantasy Island, Housebroken, Masterchef, Next Level Chef
FOX has a lot of shows on the bench for midseason and some of them will probably be for short winter runs or summer runs. The most interesting ones to watch will be new dramas Accused and Alert as well as new animated comedies Grimsburg and Krapopolis. The new season of Next Level Chef will get the post-Super Bowl slot in February.
CANCELLED/ENDED: The Big Leap, Our Kind of People, Pivoting
