What shows are on the move, where did new ones land, and what&#8217;s on hold until midseason?<\/p>\n<p>THE BIG MOVES<\/p>\n<p>* Fox&#8217;s fall lineup once again consists of just four hours of scripted entertainment \u2014 and just three live-action titles: &#8220;Animal Control&#8221; (relocating to Sundays behind &#8220;The Simpsons&#8221;) and Tuesday dramas &#8220;Best Medicine&#8221; and &#8220;Doc.&#8221; The network&#8217;s other fall scripted returnees are animated comedies &#8220;Universal Basic Guys&#8221; and &#8220;Grimsburg&#8221; (the latter of which last aired in July 2025).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>* The remainder of the schedule is identical to last fall, with &#8220;Celebrity Name That Tune&#8221; and &#8220;Celebrity Weakest Link&#8221; airing Mondays, &#8220;The Floor&#8221; and &#8220;99 to Beat&#8221; on Wednesdays, and &#8220;Hell&#8217;s Kitchen&#8221; and &#8220;Special Forces: World&#8217;s Toughest Test&#8221; on Thursdays.<\/p>\n<p>* The &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvline.com\/2100865\/baywatch-reboot-stephen-amell-cast-hobie-buchannon-fox\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Baywatch<\/a>&#8221; sequel series (starring Stephen Amell as Hobie Buchannon) will launch in January.\u00a0Also held for midseason are the Stephen Fry espionage thriller &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvline.com\/2164262\/jenna-elfman-shifting-gears-season-3-return-eve-the-interrogator-fox\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Interrogator<\/a>,&#8221; new seasons of &#8220;Memory of a Killer&#8221; and &#8220;Murder in a Small Town&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvline.com\/2167319\/murder-in-a-small-town-renewed-season-3-fox\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">now co-starring Peter Gallagher<\/a>), and animated vets &#8220;American Dad!,&#8221; &#8220;Bob&#8217;s Burgers,&#8221; &#8220;Family Guy,&#8221; and &#8220;Krapopolis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have a rich history of launching series at midseason,&#8221; Fox Television Network President Michael Thorn told reporters Sunday. &#8220;We just did it most recently with &#8216;Best Medicine&#8217; and &#8216;Memory of a Killer,&#8217; and &#8216;Doc&#8217; before that.

We&#8217;re not ready to announce exactly what&#8217;s going where, but we will have a second night of drama because &#8216;The Interrogator&#8217; is also a big priority for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>* A dozen unscripted series are still awaiting premiere dates, including &#8220;The Masked Singer&#8221;
