“This year, we launched four of the Top 10 new shows on broadcast, which led to a very strong roster of young series returning for their sophomore seasons. That gives us tremendous momentum heading into the fall,” said Gary Newman and Dana Walden,” Chairmen and CEOs, Fox Television Group.

“With our increased investment in football, we’re going to use the powerful platform of the NFL to launch our new comedies. We’ll then take some big swings with dramas at midseason, which is a proven strategy for FOX.”

New comedies include Rel, inspired by the life of Lil Rel Howery, and The Cool Kids, a multi-camera comedy about a rag-tag group of friends living in a retirement community who are willing to break every rule in order to have fun.
