Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Doc has been a surprise hit with 16 million people tuning in for the series premiere. So Fox picked up the medical drama for a second season today.

“We’re ecstatic Doc has been picked up for a second season – a testament to the exceptional writing, captivating performances from our talented cast, and the incredible reception from audiences,” said Katherine Pope, President, Sony Pictures Television Studios. “We’re so grateful to our partners at FOX for their unwavering support as we continue making more episodes of this show!”

Doc follows the story of Dr. Amy Larsen (Molly Parker), the hard-charging, brilliant ex-Chief of Internal and Family Medicine at Westside Hospital and her colleagues, loved ones and rivals who must navigate a new reality when she returns to work after a brain injury erases the past eight years of her life.

Fox asked for 22 episodes from the show next season.

Fox announced today that they picked up the Canadian series Murder in a Small Town for a second season.

“We look forward to giving fans a second season of Karl Alberg’s unmatched expertise as a crime solver in Murder in a Small Town,” EVP of Drama Programming & Development Brooke Bowman said in a statement. “We’ve enjoyed a terrific partnership with [producers] Sepia and Future Shack and our incredibly talented cast and crew and can’t wait to see what’s in store for our characters next season.”

The small town procedural, which stars Rossif Sutherland and Kristin Kreuk, aired eight episodes in the Fall.

Fox has a new survivalist competition series coming in February, and it is a family affair.

Hailing from the producers of Alone and Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, Extracted features 12 untrained competitors attempting to survive extremely grueling conditions, perilous terrain, and the threat of fearsome predators in the unforgiving Canadian wilderness. Meanwhile, some miles away, their family members are locked down at a secluded headquarters watching them navigate their dangerous surroundings alone via a 24/7 live feed. The fate of each untrained contestant in the wilderness lies in the hands of their family members back in HQ. Each amateur survivalist’s family has the power to decide whether their loved one has what it takes to brave the elements and fight to be the last one standing, or whether the family will push the ominous “Extract” button and remove their loved one and their whole family from the competition. Extracted begs the question: how far will their loved ones let them go for a chance for their family to win $250,000?

Tensions mount and strategic alliances are forged, as the opposing families negotiate and compete to send essential lifelines and resources to their competitors in the wild, to help them endure the harsh conditions they are faced with. Pressure reaches a fever pitch as each family is faced with the critical decision – will they push their loved one to the brink or push the Button?

I would totally do this. However, I would be the person in the comfortable environment, and I’d torture my family member! Which is probably why none of my family invited me over for Thanksgiving.

Extracted premieres on February 10th.

Fox announced its Winter schedule, and Family Guy is still missing. Thus making me very unhappy. Because of that, I have a feeling that they are going to do what they did to Seth MacFarlane’s other show, Orville, and move it to Hulu. If that is the case, I wonder if he will decide to end the animated comedy?

UPDATE: A source told me that the series is slated to air on Fox in early 2025.

So what is airing its place?

Elizabeth Banks and Fox have been working on an aminated sequel for The Flinstones for three years. However, today, TV Line said that, like the Stone Age, Bedrock is a thing of the past.

The series was supposed to catch up with the Flintstone family two decades after the original, with Fred on the brink of retirement and 20-something Pebbles embarking on her own career. As the Stone Age gives way to a shiny and enlightened new Bronze Age, the residents of Bedrock will find this evolution harder than a swing from Bamm-Bamm’s club.

Banks was going to voice Pebbles.

I just want to say this was a smart decision on the network’s part.
