Everything old is new again at FOX, as their upfront presentation included new versions of 24, Lethal Weapon, The Exorcist, and Prison Break. As is their norm, FOX announced multiple schedules, one for the fall and another for mid-season.
In the fall, Mondays remain the same, with Gotham followed by Lucifer. 24: Legacy, starring Corey Hawkins, premieres following the Super Bowl in February before settling in on Mondays. Tuesdays comedy block gets reduced to Brooklyn Nine-Nine followed by New Girl, followed by the returning Scream Queens.
Wednesday is the home of the Lethal Weapon reboot, starring Damon Wayans in the Danny Glover role of Murtaugh. The final season of Bones moves back an hour on Thursday in the fall, before giving way to the return of Prison Break in the spring. Friday brings the adaptation of The Exorcist, which sounds like a horrible idea.
Gone, but not forgotten, are Bordertown, Cooper Barrett’s Guide to Surviving Life, Grandfathered, The Grinder, Knock Knock Live, Minority Report, and Second Chance.
