Which Series Did Fox Pick Up for Next Year?

Which Series Did Fox Pick Up for Next Year?

May 9, 2013 By Michael Hickerson 1 Comment

Fox won’t unveil its 2013-14 television schedule until next week, but we can tell you which new series the network will air next year.

In all, Fox has picked up nine new series — five comedies and four dramas. Two of those four dramas will have a connection to J.J. Abrams.

Here’s what’s coming next year. We just don’t know when the network will air the show.

—Almost Human, from Abrams and J.H. Wyman (Fringe), is a police drama set 35 years in the future, when cops are teamed up with “highly evolved human-like androids,” according to a network synopsis. Karl Urban, Michael Ealy and Lili Taylor star.

—Gang Related stars Ramon Rodriguez, RZA and Terry O’Quinn (Lost) as members of an elite L.A. gang task force.

—Rake stars Academy Award nominee Greg Kinnear, in his first network role, as Keegan Deane, a criminal defense attorney with an addiction whose “chaotic and self-destructive personal life often gets in the way of his professional one,” according to Fox’s description. Based on an Australian series of the same name, it is being produced by Peter Tolan (Rescue Me).

—Sleepy Hollow, from Abrams proteges Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (Star Trek, Transformers, Fringe), is an update on Washington Irving’s classic story about Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison), who is “resurrected and pulled two and a half centuries through time,” where he finds the world imperiled. As its last hope, he’s teamed with a cop to unravel a long-running mystery.

—Brooklyn Nine-Nine, an ensemble centered on a jokester detective (Samberg) and his stern boss (Braugher), from Dan Goor and Michael Schur (Parks and Recreation).

—Dads, a live-action comedy from Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy), starring Seth Green and Giovanni Ribisi as childhood pals whose lives are disrupted when their dads move in.

—Enlisted, a military-themed family comedy about three brothers getting reacquainted on a Florida army base. Geoff Stults, a Fox staple from Ben and Kate and The Finder, is among the stars.

—Us & Them, a remake of BBC’s Gavin and Stacey, stars Jason Ritter (Parenthood) and Alexis Bledel (Gilmore Girls) as a young couple whose romantic dreams are thwarted by those surrounding them.

–And Surviving Jack, a father-and-son period comedy set in 1990s southern California, based on the book I Suck At Girls by Justin Halpern (S#*! My Dad Says). Christopher Meloni (Law & Order: SVU) stars.

    I can already tell which will be winners & why – at least IMHO: –Almost Human because of Abrams & Urban: Rake because of Gregg Kinnear who is a consummate actor’s actor. -Dads will work due mainly to Seth MacFarlane, Seth Green and Giovanni Ribisi. -Sleepy Hollow might make it if the genius boy band Orci-Kurtzman can keep the writing top notch week after week. The others are likely gone after a few weeks.
