FOX Upfronts

A year after banking their season on the return of old favorites, FOX has gone a different route this year.  Gotham loses its longtime home on Monday nights, replaced by The Gifted, based on Marvel’s X-Men characters, which will follow Lucifer.  Tuesdays will lead off with the second season of Lethal Weapon, followed by The Mick and Brooklyn Nine-Nine.  Wednesday takes a musical cue, with Empire followed by Star.

Gotham lands on Thursdays, followed by Seth MacFarlane’s first live-action show, The Orville.  Friday remains the same, with Hell’s Kitchen followed by The Exorcist.  A new comedy, Ghosted, moves in between The Simpsons and Family Guy on Sundays.

The final season of New Girl will appear at some point.  Also on tap for mid-season are The Resident, a groundbreaking medical drama starring, amongst others, Matt Czuchry and Emily VanCamp, and LA to Vegas, a comedy about a flight crew going back and forth between LA and Vegas.

Gone and mostly forgotten are APB, Making History, Pitch, Prison Break (which may return again in the future), Son of Zorn, 24: Legacy (again, may return in the future), Bones, Rosewood, Scream Queens, and Sleepy Hollow.

FOX Upfronts

X-Files LogoAfter a successful season, which featured new hits like Gotham, Empire, and The Last Man on Earth, FOX released a fall season that is without the usual churn that the network is known for.

Gotham will continue to kick off Monday nights, and will be followed by Minority Report, a sequel of sorts set 10 years after the 2002 Stephen Spielberg film.  Tuesdays get shaken up a bit as the comedy block moves up an hour and becomes more guy-centric, with new shows starring John Stamos, Rob Lowe, and Fred Savage.  They will be followed by the horror-comedy anthology Scream Queens, from American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy.

The Morris Chestnut project Rosewood leads off Wednesdays, followed by this springs monster hit Empire.  Bones stays put on Thursdays, followed by the relocated Sleepy Hollow.  Friday remains the domain of disposable reality programming while the Sunday lineup remains unchanged.

The X-Files returns for its 6-episode run in January, debuting following the NFC Championship game and then airing again the following night.  New Girl is also expected to return sometime next spring, allowing it to air uninterrupted.  Finally, American Idol will return in the spring for a final season.
