FOX has finally released their proposed fall schedule, along with premiere dates. The schedule to that follows includes the shows that have been picked up and new shows that will debut in the fall, as well as what will air mid-season.
As usual, I will primarily be focusing on the returning and new dramas.
The expected fall line-up for FOX is as follows: (please note this schedule could change):
SUNDAY [Starting September 11]
8 pm Monarch [NEW] (Series Premiere) [After NFL Double-Header]
This series is a Texas-sized, multigenerational musical drama about America’s first family of country music. The Romans are headed by the insanely talented, but tough as nails Queen of Country Music Dottie Cantrell Roman (Susan Sarandon). Along with her beloved husband, Albie (country artist Trace Atkins), Dottie has created a country music dynasty. But even though the Roman name is synonymous with authenticity, the very foundation of their success is a lie. And when their reign as country royalty is put in jeopardy, heir to the crown Nicolette “Nicky” Roman (Anna Friel from Pushing Daisies) will stop at nothing to protect her family’s legacy, while ensuring her own quest for stardom. The cast includes Josh Sasse (Galavant and the Hallmark Channel movie Her Pen Pal).

The dramas Fantasy Island and 9-1-1: Lone Star will be held back until mid-season along with the new dramas Accused and Alert.
NOTE: Fantasy Island was to air this summer, and then it was bumped to the fall and now it’s been moved to mid-season of 2023.
Accused – The anthology drama opens in a courtroom with a defendant being accused of a crime, then backtracks to reveal how these people got caught up in the extraordinary situations in which they find themselves. Each season will focus on a different crime. The actors who will be seen in the show include Michael Chiklis, Jill Hennessy, Whitney Cummings, Abigail Breslin, Aisha Dee, Oakes Fegley and Robert Wisdom
Alert – This is a character-driven police procedural about the LAMPU — the Los Angeles Police Department’s missing person’s unit. When police officer Nikki Parker’s son goes missing, she joins the LAPD’s Missing Person’s Unit to help other people find their loved ones, even as she searches for her own. Six years later, her world is turned upside-down when her ex-husband, Devon Zoellner, shows up with a proof-of-life photo of their missing boy. Or is it? The cast has yet to be announced.
