Fox typically has the most unusual premiere schedule of the networks, since it has to deal with Major League Baseball playoffs, which can stretch all the way to November. So, the network will have new shows premiering as late as Nov. 8. The X Factor will kick things off, though in early September with episodes on Sept. 11 and Sept. 12.
Fox’s Monday dramas and Tuesday sitcoms will get early launches on Sept. 16 and Sept. 17, respectively. Sleepy Hollow, Andy Samberg’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Dads are all new shows that will premiere on those two nights.
Glee starts on Thursday, Sept. 19, while the Animation domination line-up doesn’t start until Sunday, Sept. 29.
The J.J. Abrams-produced Almost Human will not start until Nov. 4, while Bones will shift to Fridays starting on Nov. 8. That night will also see the premiere of Enlisted.
Fox is holding back Gang Related, Surviving Jack, Us & Them and Murder Police for midseason.
