Fox has ordered yet one more new drama for the 2021-22 broadcast season, and we’re starting to get just a little antsy about a few of our favourite exhibits.
The Hollywood Reporter has been all around the Fox schedule at present, and if historical past is indicative of future outcomes, we is likely to be listening to from the community about pickups or cancellations very quickly.
The newest pickup is a rustic music drama titled Monarch from Melissa London Hilfers with showrunner Michael Rauch.
Whereas Hilfers is a newcomer, Rauch is well-known to TV Fanatic readers for his work on Royal Pains.
In line with THR, Monarch “is described as a Texas-sized, multigenerational musical drama about America’s first household of nation music.
“The Romans are fiercely proficient, however whereas their identify is synonymous with honesty, the very basis of their success is a lie.
“When their reign as nation royalty is put in jeopardy, Nicky Roman, the inheritor to the crown, already battling an business stacked towards her, will cease at nothing to guard her household’s legacy.”
This script has been gestating for a very long time, first picked up by Fox virtually two years in the past however languishing for varied manufacturing points.
These points resulted in Monarch turning into Fox’s first fully-owned live-action scripted sequence for the reason that community gained its independence a couple of years again.
Monarch’s manufacturing features a high music supervisor, Jason Owen, as an govt producer, who has shoppers like Religion Hill and Kacey Musgraves and counts the estates of Johnny and June Carter Money on his roster.
That opens up the chance that this sequence might function artists Owen works with, and that can absolutely be a boon for the present and the community.
Monarch is the fifth new sequence that Fox has picked up for the upcoming season.
Earlier at present, they picked up The Cleansing Woman, which joined The Large Leap, starring Scott Foley, and Out Type of Individuals, produced by Lee Daniels, and a mockumentary from Paul Feig titled This Nation.
That is along with the Fantasy Island reboot scheduled to premiere in August.
There are different exhibits which might be nonetheless in consideration, which does not bode properly for the exhibits we like right here at TV Fanatic, together with The Resident, 9-1-1, 9-1-1: Lone Star, and Prodigal Son.
Whereas 9-1-1 was as soon as a high performer, if it is not already renewed, meaning it is on the bubble. 9-1-1: Lone Star by no means achieved the identical degree of success because the mothership.
The Resident has by no means gotten the popularity it deserves, and Prodigal Son was a Hail Mary renewal going into its sophomore season.
There’s a lot for us to fret about with regard to the Fox schedule, and it is a disgrace for the reason that aforementioned exhibits are a number of the most numerous on the TV panorama.
Dropping them could be a big loss.
Are you starting to get just a little frightened about your favourite Fox exhibits?
Are there any exhibits not too long ago picked up that might win their method into your coronary heart?
