FOX is announcing season finale
dates and premiere dates for its summer programs, including new unscripted
series DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GO, the Season 10 premiere of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN
DANCE, the premiere of family comedy THE GOODWIN GAMES and the return of
MASTERCHEF.
New
unscripted workplace experiment DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GO clocks in with a
special preview Wednesday, May 15 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), following the
first night of the two-night season finale of AMERICAN IDOL (8:00-9:00 ET
live/PT tape-delayed). In the series, which makes its time period premiere Thursday,
May 23 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), the boardroom doors get blown wide open when
employees are given the power to make some tough decisions. Frustrated
bosses will hand over the reins of their companies to the employees, offering
their respective staffs a chance to make changes in the workplace – even if it
means letting co-workers go. Each participating office will have its own
set of issues, which will force them to take a hard look at what’s plaguing
their workplace and answer the toughest question of all: DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO
GO?
Returning for its 10th
season, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE waltzes into a new season Tuesday, May 14
(8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. The Emmy Award-nominated hit dance competition
series will feature host Cat Deeley and resident judges Nigel Lythgoe and Mary
Murphy, as well as guest judges including actress Minnie Driver, actor Jesse
Tyler Ferguson, comedian Wayne Brady, All-Star
Stephen “tWitch” Boss and Adam Shankman, among others, at auditions in Austin,
Boston, Detroit, Memphis and Los Angeles. Each two-hour show will again
feature breathtaking performances as well as suspenseful eliminations, as the
contestants compete to be named America’s Favorite Dancers.
New comedy THE GOODWIN GAMES
starts playing Monday, May 20 (8:30-9:00 PM), as part of a night of
half-hour comedies, including encores of RAISING HOPE (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT), NEW
GIRL (9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT) and THE MINDY PROJECT (9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT). Starring
Scott Foley (“Scandal,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Felicity”), Becki Newton (“Ugly
Betty”) and T.J. Miller (“Our Idiot Brother,” “She’s Out Of My League”), the
inventive family comedy tells the story of three estranged siblings who return
home after the loss of their beloved father (guest star Beau Bridges, “My Name
Is Earl”), and unexpectedly find themselves poised to inherit more than $20
million – if, and only if, they can adhere to their late father’s wishes.
MASTERCHEF debuts its fourth
season with a two-hour season premiere on Wednesday, May 22 (8:00-10:00
PM ET/PT). After a nationwide search, the
best home cooks in America arrive in Los Angeles to present their signature
dishes to judges Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich and Graham Elliot. The hopefuls
whose dishes impress the judges the most will earn a coveted white apron and
move onto the next round. Throughout the season, the judges will
challenge the newest batch of contestants through a series of grueling
challenges and elimination rounds to determine which home cook has the skill,
drive and passion to make a mark in the culinary world and win a life-changing
grand prize.
As previously announced,
ANIMATION DOMINATION HIGH-DEF, FOX’s new alternative animated programming
block, will premiere on air Saturday, July 27 (11:00 PM-12:30
AM ET/PT), with a number of new quarter-hour animated series, including AXE
COP, based on the hit graphic novel; HIGH SCHOOL USA!, created by Dino
Stamatopoulos (“Community”); the UNTITLED LUCAS BROTHERS PROJECT, from
identical twin comedians Kenny and Keith Lucas (aka The Lucas Brothers); and
GOLAN THE INSATIABLE, from Fox Digital Studio script writer Joshua Miller.
Voice actors include Megan Mullally (“Children’s Hospital,” “Will &
Grace”), Patton Oswalt (“Young Adult,” “Ratatouille”), Ken Marino (“Children’s
