Fox Orders J.J. Abrams ALCATRAZ, Renues HOUSE and More
Fox has announced their official upcoming slate of new and returning TV series. They've also cancelled a few series that we won't being seeing again. So here's the run down...
- House will be making a come back making this the series eighth season, which is great! I enjoy watching House so you'll get no complaints from me on that.
- The network has also greenlit a few new series that includes a Bones spinoff show, The Finder. I never watched Bones so I don't really care about this one.
- They will also be moving forward with the new J.J. Abrams produced series Alcatraz, which sounds like it's going to be completely awesome! The project centers on a group of missing Alcatraz prisoners and guards who reappear in the present day. It chronicles the efforts of a team of FBI agents to track them down and unravel the mystery behind their disappearance thirty years prior.
- Fox has also ordered a drama called Touch, from Heroes creator Tim Kring, starring Kiefer Sutherland.
- They also will be developing a CIA action series called Exit Strategy, starring Ethan Hawke.
- Zooey Deschanel's comedy series New Girl got picked up, as did I Hate My Teenage Daughter, starring Jamie Pressly and Katie Finneran.
- As for shows such as The X Factor and American Idol, I could care less. Those shows have ruined TV.
- Fox went ahead and canceled a few shows such as Human Target which I kind of enjoyed, The Chicago Code, which I never watched, and the series Breaking In, which I never watched either. Lie to Me and Traffic Light also got the axed.
It looks like they got some interesting and cool new shows coming our way. Are you looking forward to seeing any of these shows? Are you sad to see some of these other series get cancelled?
