Fox picked up The Following, New Girl, The Mindy Project and Golden Globe winner Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and have yet to make a decision on Almost Human and Dads. The four shows that were renewed joined Glee, Bones and Sleepy Hollow for next season’s lineup.
Personally, I give up when it comes to decisions that the network executives make. I can’t say I agree with half of the shows that they renewed. New Girl has a following, but they haven’t been as loyal this year. Although they are much loyaler to that show than they are to The Mindy Project and The Following that saw major declines this season. When it comes to Brooklyn Nine-Nine, once it won the Golden Globe the renewal became a no-brainer.
Even though Fox has picked up 4 dramas and 3 comedies, they still have a lot of time to fill with the loss of The X Factor and Friday nights that have been begging for more Gordon Ramsay. I am hoping since the end of their week isn’t as set as the beginning and that they will pick up Almost Human that has been doing better than The Following both in the ratings and in creativity.
