FOX made their upfront presentation to the New York advertisers yesterday, announcing their new fall and mid-season plans for programming. While the fall schedule doesn’t feature any new dramas, the mid-season schedule does feature two of the proposed pilots (for which I reported on in both February and in early April).
To keep you up-to-date on what to anticipate from FOX for the new 2011-2012 TV season, here are details on the two new FOX dramas that you will see, mostly likely in early 2012:
Alcatraz is a J.J. Abrams production about a cop (Sarah Jones from Big Love and Sons of Anarchy) and a team of FBI agents who attempt to track down a group of missing Alcatraz prisoners and guards who reappear in the present day after disappearing 30 years earlier. The cast includes Jorge Garcia (Lost), Sam Neill (Jurassic Park), Parminder Nagra (ER and Bend It Like Beckham), Santiago Cabrera (Heroes) and Robert Forster (Karen Sisco and Heroes).
Check out this trailer for Alcatraz.
The Finder is the spin-off from the popular FOX series Bones that is based on The Locator books by Richard Greener, which follows a former military policeman (Geoff Stults from October Road) who has the ability to find anything. The series (naturally) comes from Hart Hanson (the man behind Bones) and co-stars Saffron Burrows (Law & Order: Criminal Intent) and Michael Clarke Duncan (The Green Mile).
Check out this trailer for The Finder.
