Fox Renews Hit Dramas Amidst Bold Midseason Launches

Fox's scripted television lineup is largely set for renewal, with a strong performance from its drama series bolstering the network's confidence. Sophomores "Doc" and "Murder In a Small Town" are anticipated to return for their next seasons. These shows, alongside freshman dramas "Best Medicine" and "Memory Of a Killer," contributed to Fox's first entertainment revenue increase in four years during Q4 2025.

The network has embraced a strategy focusing on "comfort food" and soapy, small-town dramas, a genre that has resonated well with audiences on both linear television and streaming. "Best Medicine," a fully owned series, is considered a lock for renewal due to its consistent performance. While "Memory Of a Killer" premiered with strong numbers, its future renewal is still being closely monitored.

On the comedy front, "Animal Control" is expected to be renewed, benefiting from international sales and a recent licensing deal with Netflix. However, "Going Dutch" remains the network's sole true bubble series, with its renewal odds currently at 50-50. The network is also set to introduce new dramas, including "The Interrogator."
