Empire will be canceled once the upcoming 20-episode Season 6 is over. (Deadline)

I noticed a minor error in the press release - The Masked Singer's third season, which will premiere after the Super Bowl on February 2, will move to its regular time period on Wednesday, February 5 at 8PM (not February 4.)

 

[hercules130]

Scripted, live-action shows only three days a week? I do not get it but I am not a television executive.

 

[Bayguy]

Hercules maybe somebody here knows more but when Disney bought Fox ppl said it might be all sports and reality shows.

 

[gbamber]

Disney bought all of the Fox assets except for the Fox TV network because it is illegal to own more than one network. So, the Fox channel will still exist, but it lost its filming studios. The most popular shows will probably continue as they earn enough to pay for themselves plus make a profit (eg. Simpsons), but scripted shows will be replaced by much cheaper non-scripted reality stuff.

FOX Renews "MasterChef Junior" for Season Eight and Announces New Judge Daphne Oz

 

[Dr.Dave]

The Orville will move to Hulu exclusively for its upcoming third season in late 2020. Seth MacFarlane determined that he would not be able to deliver episodes to meet Fox's mid-season schedule. (Hulu press release)

 

[Danster]

Wonder if CityTV will still be able to pick it up somehow?

 

[OlStatic]

I doubt it. I read somewhere that it will be aired on Space and will be available with Crave.

 

[Dr.Dave]

I think any comments about Space/Crave or even Showcase are just speculation by people that aren't involved. As I posted in the Citytv thread, Seth MacFarlane thinks the international distribution to Canada, etc. will not change. The Orville is still produced by 20th Century Fox Television, so those distribution agreements remain in place, even though Disney just purchased the studio.
