Fox has renewed what can fairly be called a boatload of its unscripted shows.<\/p>\n
Heading into its upfront presentation Monday afternoon, the network says it has renewed 17 unscripted series (including a couple that had been previously announced). They include six shows on the schedule for the fall: Celebrity Name That Tune, Celebrity Weakest Link<\/em>, The Floor<\/em> (one of the previously announced pickups, a two-season order), 99 to Beat, Hell\u2019s Kitchen<\/em> (also a two-season renewal) and Special Forces: World\u2019s Toughest Test<\/em>. A seventh show, Next Level Baker<\/em>, is set for a holiday-season run, though its place on the schedule hasn\u2019t been determined.<\/p>\n More from The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n Eight more \u2014 Crime Scene Kitchen<\/em>,\u00a0Don\u2019t Forget The Lyrics, Extracted<\/em>,\u00a0Fear Factor: House of Fear,\u00a0Gordon Ramsay\u2019s Secret Service<\/em>,\u00a0Lego Masters<\/em>,\u00a0The Masked Singer<\/em> and Next Level Chef<\/em> \u2014 are on deck for later in the 2026-27 season. So is Masterchef<\/em>, which is in the middle of a two-season order and not included on the renewal list.<\/p>\n Finally, Beat Shazam<\/em> and Kitchen Nightmares<\/em> also received renewals, though they\u2019re not mentioned in the shows slated for next season. Those two are among several shows that will have been off the air for a year or more when they next air; so have Crime Scene Kitchen, Don\u2019t Forget the Lyrics<\/em> and Gordon Ramsay\u2019s Secret Service<\/em>.<\/p>\n Fox sometimes orders more shows than it needs for a given season, Fox Entertainment CEO Rob Wade told reporters on a conference call Sunday evening. Earlier this year, before the Writers Guild and SAG-AFTRA made new deals with studios, was a bit of an uncertain period, so Fox stockpiled some shows in the event of another strike.<\/p>\n Having a big bullpen of unscripted shows also serves a couple other purposes, Wade and Fox Television Network president Michael Thorn said. \u201cWe talk a lot about how to keep as much original [programming] on the schedule as possible,\u201d said Thorn. \u201cIt allows us to have new and returning series throughout the year \u2014 midseason, spring and summer.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s also nice to have a backstop in case something on the schedule doesn\u2019t work, Wade noted: \u201cIt\u2019s better to have something ready to go than to try and rush something through production,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Best of The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for THR’s Newsletter<\/a>.
