Bob’s Burgers
FOX
This may come as a surprise to no one, but a major theme of Fox’s TV schedule for the 2025-2026 season is animation. The network went all in on its animated sitcoms this season, which includes four of the network’s biggest comedies: The Simpsons, Family Guy, Bob’s Burgers, and American Dad! (which returns to Fox after a long stint on TBS), as well as more recent hits like Krapopolis, Universal Basic Guys, and Grimsburg. Four of those shows — The Simpsons, Universal Basic Guys, Krapopolis, and Bob’s Burgers — will be anchoring Sunday nights this fall, beginning Sept. 28.
On Tuesdays, the network is pairing up sophomore dramas Murder in a Small Town and Doc, both returning Sept. 23. But most weeknights on Fox this fall belong to unscripted shows. The Jane Krakowski-hosted Celebrity Name That Tune has been slotted on Monday nights beginning Sept. 15, followed by the Jane Lynch-hosted Celebrity Weakest Link. Ken Jeong and Erin Andrews will host the new game show 99 to Beat on Wednesday nights, premiering Sept. 24. The Masked Singer won’t be back until January, but nobody can keep a mega-hit like that down.Â
In bigger news, Fear Factor is getting rebooted as Fear Factor: The Next Chapter (maybe don’t get attached to calling it that, though — it’s a working title). That’s also coming midseason. After letting everyone wonder whether former Fear Factor host-turned-podcast-conspiracy-theorist Joe Rogan might be involved, Fox has announced that the show will actually be hosted by Johnny Knoxville.
Elsewhere on the network’s 2025-2026 schedule, Fox is adding new scripted dramas to its midseason lineup, including the one-hour comedy Best Medicine, which stars Josh Charles as a brash small town doctor with a complicated personal life; the new thriller Memory of a Killer, starring Patrick Dempsey as a hitman with early onset Alzheimer’s; and the six-episode limited series The Faithful, which is based on the Book of Genesis and will air during the 2026 Easter and Passover season.
Fox still has two shows that officially remain in limbo: Accused, which Deadline reports could return someday as an event series, and The Great North.
Below is a complete list of Fox’s new and returning 2025-2026 shows, the shows that didn’t make the cut, the network’s weekly fall TV schedule, and premiere dates.
