Fox’s 2026-2027 primetime schedule will lean heavily on animated series and unscripted shows, along with a handful of dramas and comedies. Additionally, two new dramas—a reimagined Baywatch and The Interrogator—and the unscripted series Marriage Market have earned spots on Fox’s upcoming broadcast season’s lineup.
The new dramas join a roster that includes Doc season three, Memory of a Killer season two, and Murder in a Small Town season three. Fox’s comedies Animal Control season five and Best Medicine season two will kick off this fall. And its animated lineup for the upcoming broadcast season will consist of American Dad! season 21, Bob’s Burgers season 17, Family Guy season 25, Grimsburg season three, Krapopolis season four, Universal Basic Guys season three, and The Simpsons season 38.
“Our 2026-27 slate reflects what FOX does best — putting creative first with distinctive, returnable series and bold, character-driven storytelling,” stated Rob Wade, CEO of FOX Entertainment. “With a strong foundation of returning hits and a carefully curated pipeline of new original series, we’re building a lineup designed to connect with broad audiences, drive performance in both the U.S. and around the world, and bring the consistency, scale, and momentum that position us strongly for the year ahead.”
Midseason will see the arrival of Baywatch, The Interrogator, Memory of a Killer, Murder in a Small Town, American Dad!, Bob’s Burgers, Family Guy, and Krapopolis. New seasons of Crime Scene Kitchen, Don’t Forget The Lyrics, Extracted, Fear Factor: House of Fear, Gordon Ramsay’s Secret Service, LEGO Masters, The Masked Singer, MasterChef, and Next Level Chef are also expected to premiere in early 2027.
Fox confirmed two new series—Family Guy spinoff Stewie and a new take on Michael Landon’s Highway to Heaven—are scheduled for the 2027-2028 season.

BAYWATCH:
First hitting screens in 1989, Baywatch became the most-watched show in the world, airing in more than 200 countries and at its peak reaching more than a billion viewers weekly. Its global appeal drove tourism to Southern California and helped define beach culture for generations. FOX’s Baywatch will celebrate the franchise’s enduring legacy while re-energizing it for today’s global audience.
Fans can expect all the adrenaline-fueled rescues, tangled relationships, complicated chemistry and beachside heroics that defined the original — now with an entirely new cast, contemporary trappings, tensions, and challenges, and a renewed mission to protect Southern California’s shoreline.
The new Baywatch finds wild-child legacy character HOBIE BUCHANNON (Stephen Amell) serving as a Baywatch Captain, following in the footsteps of his legendary father, Mitch. Hobie’s world is turned upside down when his daughter CHARLIE VALE (Jessica Belkin) shows up on his doorstep eager to carry on the Buchannon family legacy. The series also stars Shay Mitchell as TRINA, Hassie Harrison as NAT, Thaddeus LaGrone as BRAD, Noah Beck as LUKE, and Brooks Nader as SELENE.
In recurring roles, Livvy Dunne will make her acting debut as GRACE and David Chokachi will reprise his original series character of CODY MADISON.
THE INTERROGATOR:
The Interrogator, an all-new espionage thriller starring, written, and executive-produced by actor-comedian Stephen Fry, is coming to FOX for the 2026–27 season. Set in Washington, D.C., The Interrogator centers on former MI6 agent CONRAD HENRY (Fry) and his handpicked team of brilliant outsiders. When conventional methods have failed, Henry’s quirky charm, superior intellect, and mind-bending behavioral maneuvers make him the only man able to lockpick the minds of the world’s most dangerous criminals.
LISA ANN WOODROW (Jenna Elfman) oversees Henry’s cases. Once a rising star within the CIA, her career was derailed after a mission went wrong, leading her to the D.I.A., where she now serves as handler for Henry’s team. Though she challenges him and the two often clash, Conrad is always seven steps ahead while Woodrow is rarely more than five steps ahead. The most recent member of the team is ASTRID (Jessica Sula), a sharp and idealistic criminal psychologist new to the spy world but a natural. Henry’s somewhat estranged daughter, she shares his instinct for reading people and talent for deception, using her shapeshifting and manipulative skills for good.
LOUIS (Michael Beach), the first member that Henry brought onto his team, is a dry-witted AV and IT expert with a hidden past. A true jack-of-all-trades, he’s the voice in Henry’s ear with facts and figures—and his closest ally, confidant and moral compass. VOSS (Luke Kleintank), a former Special Forces soldier and Army whistleblower, serves as one of Henry’s trusted analysts. A quiet, outdoorsy Colorado native with a strong moral code, he prefers dogs to people, except for his secret, unlikely romance that can only stay secret for so long.
FLORENCE (Maria Zhang) is the most idealistic and optimistic of the team. She handles all things computers, from hacking, gathering and decrypting evidence to creating forgeries and deepfakes to lead Henry’s subjects astray. She’s a multi-lateral puzzle master, a game theory guru and a cognitive gymnast. Florence’s fiancee, Dana, still thinks she works in game development, not spy craft. She’s so deftly divided these worlds in her mind, she’s even having a (mostly physical) affair with her teammate, Voss.
MARRIAGE MARKET:
From FOX Entertainment Studios, Marriage Market is an original FOX-owned unscripted series slated for 2027. Hosted by actress, comedian, and podcaster Whitney Cummings, the series welcomes singles – who are officially over swiping, ghosting, and endless first dates — into an actual Marriage Market, where they’re up for trying something radical…putting their love lives in the hands of family members that know them best and risking it all for one shot at forever – in an arranged marriage.
Filled with humor, heart, heartbreak and unpredictable outcomes, Marriage Market is a one-of-a-kind, immersive matchmaking experience where families come together with one goal in mind: helping their single family member find a meaningful, lasting match. Inside this vibrant, real-world setting, families meet, connect, and advocate for their loved one as they search for a perfect partner.
The rules are simple. When two families believe they’ve found a match, their singles are introduced and engaged on the spot—with the ultimate goal of making it to the altar. From there, the couples and their families move in together, navigating real-life compatibility, big personalities, and even bigger expectations. At any point, each of the newly matched singles’ families can decide they’ve found them “the one” or send their single loved one back into the Marriage Market for another chance at finding them love.
