Fox announced their schedule for next season, and they are going to have a lot of problems in the Fall.
The network is heavy on Reality and Competition series, and their weaker animated shows (minus The Simpsons). I don’t know what they are thinking, but I am thinking I am happy I have their sister streamer, Tubi, to watch to make up for not watching Fox in the Fall.

While NBC was extracting shows, Fox was renewing Extracted and four other shows: The Wall, Universal Basic Guys, Grimsburg, and Krapopolis. And yet they still don’t have room to bring back The Last Man on Earth. At least people laughed with the latter show.
The Masked Singer aired its season finale tonight, and Gretchen Wilson is this season’s winner.
However, that is not the story. For the first time since the mysterious celebrity singing competition began unmasking celebs in 2019, it will not be airing in the Fall. Instead, it will return in 2026.
The news is not surprising because it went from being one of the most-watched shows to “It is still on?”
It was. And it will be interesting to see if they are going to change up the judges. The only change that has happened since season 1 is that Nicole Scherzinger left for Sunset Boulevard and Rita Ora took her seat. If I were Fox, I would definitely replace Jenny McCarthy and one of the men, Robin Thicke or Ken Jeong.
Earlier today, Fox cancelled Rescue: Hi Surf. However, not everyone was getting that dreaded phone call. The network picked up Joel McHale’s Animal Control for a fourth season and Going Dutch with Denis Leary for a second one.
“Animal Control and Going Dutch are proven winners thanks to signature FOX characters brought to life by Joel and Denis — two of the funniest comedic voices on TV today, giving us an ideal foundation for building our new comedy block,” said Michael Thorn, President, FOX Television Network. “With a focus on creating irreverent, fun workplace humor that’s both outrageous and unpredictable, Joel, Denis, their castmates and production teams deliver reliably laugh-out-loud moments week-after-week that will keep fans coming back season-after-season.”
As excited as I am that Animal Control is still in control, I just have one request for the upcoming season! I want more animals!!!
On Monday, Fox is going to announce their 2025-2026 season. Today, we found out that Rescue: Hi-Surf will not be on it.
The news is not a surprise. The Hawaiian lifeguard drama was supposed to air a special episode after the Super Bowl. However, they decided to scrap those plans. Once that was the case, the writing was on the wall.
Hopefully, that same writing is not on the wall for Joel McHale’s Animal Control.
