It’s off to hunt FOX and see what’s in their den. Keep in mind that the network programs just two hours per night so the schedule holes they have to fill are fewer:
Number of new fall shows: 5
Number of sorta new shows: 1 – Friday encore of Sleepy Hollow
Number of returning shows: 11 (+2 with mid-season bench-warmers The Following and Raising Hope)
The mix: 2 dramas | 9 comedies | 3 reality | 1 sports
The shuffle: No all-new nights; new shows sprinkled across Monday, Tuesday and Friday
Big names: J.J. Abrams, Seth Green, Giovanni Ribisi, Andy Samberg, Andre Braugher, (more) Gordon Ramsay (again), Jason Ritter, Alexis Bledel
Obscure fact: Major League Baseball is a ratings champ for FOX but wreaks havoc on conventional fall scheduling. So the network will once again split fall debuts to either side of MLB action
New fall 2013 shows with links to each show’s promotional page and trailer:
- Almost Human (late fall)
