Fox network reveals stable new fall schedule
NEW YORK — Fox’s new fall schedule is remarkably stable for a network that prides itself on edginess, with three new series starting in September.
In releasing next season’s plans, Fox still hasn’t answered the year’s most compelling mystery: Who will replace Simon Cowell on “American Idol” next winter?
On four of the seven nights, Fox’s schedule, announced Monday, is the same as it was this season.
Two of the new series are comedies: “Raising Hope” is about a 23-year-old pool cleaner who suddenly has to raise a baby. “Running Wilde” stars Will Arnett as a playboy trying to win the heart of his childhood sweetheart, played by Keri Russell.
The drama is “Lonestar,” a prime time soap about a family in the Texas oil business.
