Fox: Renewed and Cancelled

Fox: Renewed and Cancelled

We round up the list of renewals and cancellations of drama and comedy on Fox for the upcoming season. Amongst the cancelled list is spy/thriller series 24 which was cancelled earlier this year by Fox but may life on via a big-screen movie. However, while 24 won’t be back for another day sci fi series Fringe will be back for a third series.

 

DollhouseCancelled: There aren’t that many shows on the cancellation list for Fox this year. The first we’ll cover is Dollhouse which has been dead for months and was pronounced dead last year. The Joss Whedon series failed to take off in terms of ratings and in fact ratings sank as the series progressed despite the fact that Fox gave Dollhouse a second chance with its second season. Also dead is 24 which won’t be back for a ninth season after Fox decided to cancel the series. NBC flirted with the idea of picking up 24 but in the end decided not to because it was too expensive to produce. It probably won’t the end of the 24 franchise though as a movie version is in the works. Also cancelled by Fox is Past Life, Brothers and Till Death.

 

 

Renewed: A fair few on this list as Fringe has been renewed for a thirds season despite somewhat shaky ratings. However, despite some stating Fringe was at risk of cancellation Fox proved the Gleenaysayers wrong and re-commissioned it, yay! However, it won’t be adapting British science fiction series Torchwood, a spin-off from Doctor Who, for American audiences after deciding to opt out of the American remake. Most fans of Torchwood in American greeted the news with cheers though! Breakout hit of the season, Glee, has also been renewed but that was a guaranteed re-commission. The musical comedy has taken America by storm and In the UK it has attracted record ratings for digital channel E4 where figures climbed to an impressive 1.5 million viewers. Crime series Bones has been renewed while animated comedies The Simpsons, The Cleveland Show, Family Guy and American Dad have all been renewed as well. Hugh Laurie’s medical series House has been given another season order as has Lie to Me and Human Target. Finally American Idol has also been re-commissioned.
