FOX Announces Fall 2024 Premiere Dates for ‘9-1-1: Lone Star,’ ‘Accused,’ ‘Rescue: HI-Surf,’ and More

FOX has announced fall premiere dates for new and returning series in its 2024/2025 season, including 9-1-1: Lone Star, Accused, Rescue: HI-Surf, Murder in a Small Town, and more.

This news comes after the network announced its programming slate for the upcoming season in May.

The new season of scripted, unscripted, and animated series starts with the all-new animated comedy Universal Basic Guys on Sunday, September 8, immediately following the FOX NFL doubleheader. The series from creators Adam and Craig Malamut has already received an early Season 2 renewal from FOX. 

“This year, we created a terrific collection of originals that deepens our network’s legacy of delivering unexpected, unforgettable characters and stories. We’re bullish about the future and optimistic about the fun and engaging entertainment in store for our viewers everywhere,” FOX Television Network President Michael Thorn said about the upcoming season and beyond. 

Rescue: HI-Surf, the new Hawaii-set lifeguard drama from executive producer and director John Wells and executive producer and writer Matt Kester, makes its series debut with a special premiere on Sunday, September 22, after the FOX doubleheader.

It will make its time-period premiere on Monday, September 23, following the highly-anticipated return of 9-1-1: Lone Star. Its fifth season’s synopsis reads as follows: 

In the upcoming fifth season, Captains Strand and Vega, along with the 126 team, race into action when in a multi-episodic opening storyline, a catastrophic train derailment endangers several lives including some of their own. With Judd resigning from the 126 to take care of his recently handicapped son Wyatt, Owen must find a new lieutenant to replace Judd and has a difficult decision ahead of him when both Marjan and Paul apply for the promotion. Tommy is ready to take the next step in her relationship, but she finds the road to happiness is filled with obstacles. On his 30th birthday, T.K. gets a surprise visit from someone from his past that could change his and Carlos’ lives forever. Now officially husband and husband, T.K. and Carlos’ marriage is put to the test when Carlos becomes obsessed with solving his father’s murder.

The new murder mystery series Murder in a Small Town will debut on Tuesday, September 24, with a special 90-minute premiere. The series will then move to its regular time on Tuesday, October 1, following Accused‘s Season 2 premiere. The new season will feature Felicity Huffman, William H. Macy, Michael Chiklis, Taylor Schilling, Justin Chambers, Danny Pino, and Nick Cannon. 

The Masked Singer Season 12 begins on Wednesday, September 25, alongside The Floor Season 2, hosted by Rob Lowe. Hell’s Kitchen Season 23 premieres on Thursday, September 26, alongside Crime Scene Kitchen Season 3, hosted by Joel McHale and featuring chef Curtis Stone and cake artist Yolanda Gampp as judges.

The show’s new season has a new theme: “This season, six pairs of family members and six pairs of friends go head-to-head to see who works better together in the kitchen.”

The “FOX Animation Domination” block returns on Sunday, September 29, with all-new seasons of The Simpsons (Season 36), Universal Basic Guys in its regular time slot, Krapoplis (Season 2), and Bob’s Burgers (Season 15)
