All four are core assets within our 2014-15 portfolio of content, and we’re really happy to bring them back to our FOX fans for another season," said Reilly.
Even though this shows do not have a huge rating draw, the network is looking to fill a three hour gap in scheduling after The X Factor was dropped from the lineup, Variety reported.
