Fox revealed Thursday the schedule for its upcoming season, headlined by hip-hop drama Empire, which will debut its second season Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 9 p.m.
The network’s fall season will kick off honoring the previous year’s shows with the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards. Hosted by Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Andy Samberg, the Emmys will air live on both coasts Sunday, Sept. 20, beginning at 8 p.m. ET, from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
Fox’s fall slate gets underway the next day, as Gotham returns for a second season Monday, Sept. 21 at 8 p.m., followed by the series premiere of futuristic crime drama Minority Report, based on the Steven Spielberg film, at 9 p.m.
Scream Queens, from executive producer Ryan Murphy (Glee, American Horror Story), will debut with a special, two-hour series premiere on Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 8 p.m. It will settle into its usual 9 p.m. time slot the following Tuesday. Its lead-ins on Sept. 29 will be a pair of new comedies: John Stamos-starring Grandfathered at 8 p.m. and Rob Lowe-starring The Grinder at 8:30 p.m.
Leading into Empire on Wednesday, Sept. 23 will be Rosewood, the new Miami medical procedural airing at 8 p.m.
