Weeks after announcing its fall shows, the Fox network has finally said when they’ll air.
Its big plunge will be with “Monarch,” a series awash in country music. That will arrive early (Sept. 11), after a football doubleheader; nine days later, it will get its regular slot behind “The Resident” on Tuesdays – an easier night for new dramas, now that NBC’s “This Is Us” is gone.
Also aiming for a schedule break are Fox’s comedies. “Welcome to Flatch” and “Call Me Kat” (shown here). They’ll be 9 and 9:30 p.m. Thursdays … an open spot, now that CBS will only have comedies at 8 and 8:30.
Fox has pulled back many of its plans. It delayed “Monarch” – with Trace Adkins, Susan Sarandon and Anna Friel — from last spring; it also held back two shows originally set for summer: “Lego Masters” now gets a strong spot behind “Masked Singer” on Wednesdays; “Fantasy Island” will wait until mid-season, along with “911: Lone Star,” “Accused” and several reality shows and cartoons. The line-up:
— Mondays: “9-1-1,” 8 p.m.; “The Cleaning Lady,” 9.
— Tuesdays: “The Resident,” 8 p.m.; “Monarch,” 9.
— Wednesdays: “The Masked Singer,” 8 p.m.; “Lego Masters.” 9.
— Thursdays: “Hell’s Kitchen,” 8 p.m., “Welcome to Flatch,” 9; “Call Me Kat,” 9:30.
— Fridays: Wrestling.
— Saturdays: Sports or reruns.
— Sundays: “The Simpsons,” 8 p.m.; “The Great North,” 8:30; “Bob’s Burgers,” 9; “Family Guy,” 9:30.
