16 Most Anticipated New Fox Shows in 2019

With the three big names- ABC, CBS and NBC- ruling the American television industry, it was a great feat when Fox established itself as strong competition to them. Unlike others, Fox has limited the primetime, thus reducing the number of shows that it airs, as compared to other networks. Nonetheless, it has never compromised with the material that it allows on its network and hence, has delivered some of the best shows on television. ‘The Simpsons’ is one of its longest-running programs and is still going strong. Keeping in line with the versatility that is expected of any major network, Fox has also delivered shows like ‘Prison Break’, ‘Gotham’ and ‘Empire’. Apart from the scripted shows, the network has also been home of popular reality shows that range from a dance show, ‘So You Think You Can Dance’, to cooking shows like ‘MasterChef’ and ‘Hell’s Kitchen’.

The future is full of exciting possibilities as Fox has been stretching its boundaries and testing new waters. Its investment in a great number of animated series this year shows how ready Fox is to experiment with different materials. Here is the list of the upcoming new shows coming out on Fox in 2019 and 2020. We can only hope that these latest Fox shows are as good as some of the recent series it produced.
