Yesterday, Fox announced that Johnny Knoxville is going to host Fear Factor: The Next Chapter, the competition show that tests people’s fears. But that show will not debut until later.
However, we don’t have to wait until then to watch people get scared shitless. Fox already has The Snake. On yesterday’s episode, they had the contestants try to solve a puzzle with a partner. Sounds easy? It wasn’t because they were put in coffin-like compartments with hundreds of large cockroaches walking around their heads.
As soon as they said cockroach, I would’ve been like, I am out of here. But the 14 of them gave it a try.
How many made it until the end? You are going to have to tell me because I pressed stop. I can’t even watch it. Let alone would I ever consider attempting it. Would you do it? And how much would you need to do it?
It has been a month since the networks announced their plans for next season, so I thought they were done, minus Doctor Odyssey.
But I forgot about Alert: Missing Persons Unit and The Cleaning Lady. As did Fox. But today they remembered they had two series, so they made a decision about their futures. Neither drama will be back for their fourth and fifth seasons, respectively.
Believe it or not, there are still two more shows waiting to find out if they will be returning, and they are Accused and The Great North.
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.
