Fox Sets Corona-Proof Fall 2020 Schedule

Amid a coronavirus pandemic, which ground filming to a halt, decimated broadcast pilot season and canceled the traditional May upfronts, Fox unveiled its fall 2020 schedule at the exact time it would’ve done it without the pandemic. It includes the network TV debut of Spectrum Originals’ L.A.’s Finest starring Gabrielle Union and Jessica Alba, which the network has acquired from Sony Pictures TV.

Fox, the first broadcast network to announce a fall schedule this year, plans a regular late September launch of the 2020-21 season. Because it is unclear when TV production will be able to safely resume, series that are yet to film new seasons quite possibly won’t be ready for a late-September premiere. Fox is eliminating that uncertainty by relying on scripted and reality series already in the can — dramas Filthy Rich and NeXt, both held over from this season, new installments of Masterchef Junior and Cosmos as well as acquisition L.A.’s Finest, — animated series (The Simpsons, Family Guy, Bob’s Burgers, Bless the Harts), which have been able to remain in production during the pandemic, wrestling and NFL football.

The only question marks on the schedule are The Masked Singer, whose upcoming fourth season has not been shot, and the NFL, which announced a full-season schedule but live sports are still cautiously forging a path to return.

1. The only worth watching now that is Fox-related is "Mrs. America".

Some of you DUers who were involved in the feminist movement in the 1970's might be interested in this:

2. Truly, I haven't watched a Fox show in more than 30 years.

Did I miss something?

3. Yes indeed...many good shows

You realize that Fox Network isn't the same as Fox News?

4. lol, yes, I do, but I avoid it like the plague, don't like the commercials

for Fox News. I just programmed Fox out of my remote, and out of my mind. I guess the last Fox show I watched was Michael Moore's TV Nation.

Of course 8 years ago I abandoned cable TV. I don't miss the commercials, I get a few shows here on the internet.

I'm just too highbrow for my own good. PBS mostly. I'm way way out there.

5. So you'll be missing the second season of COSMOS?

6. Seems odd to ask that which has already been implicitly answered.

Unless of course you're simply confusing Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey with a Cosmos: A Personal Voyage.
