Fox plans its post-soccer summer

When soccer ends and the world goes home, Fox will have Part II of its summer line-up.
In mid-July, it will debut one show, start new seasons of two (including Gordon Ramsay’s “Kitchen Nightmares,” shown here in a previous episode) and resume three more.
For now, Fox is obsessing on the World Cub, which brings soccer teams to the U.S., Mexico and Canada, from June 11 to July 19. Every game will be on Fox or Fox Sports1, in addition to Telemundo and streaming on Peacock and Fox One.
To clear the way, the network started many of its summer shows early and will finish three of them early. “Farmer Wants a Wife” and “Bear Grylls is Running Wild” end on June 9, “The Floor” on June 10.
But some others will be back. The plan,announced today (Tuesday) includes:
— MONDAYS: After a pause, “The 1% Club” and “The Quiz With Balls” will be back with new episodes, starting July 13.
–TUESDAYS: “Kitchen Nightmares” (with Ramsay helping troubled restaurants) opens its season with a two-hour episode at 8 p.m. July 21. A week later, “Beat Shazam” (a music game show with Jamie Foxx and his daughter Corinne) starts its season at 9.
— WEDNESDAYS: Ramsay’s “MasterChef” returns to new episodes at 8 p.m. July 15. At 9 is the debut of “Nationn’s Dumbest,” with celebrities facing the ordeals of school life. The “classroom” includes Carmen Electra, Matt Leinart, JoJo Siwa, Anthony Michael Hall, Elle King and more, including former presidential candidate Andrew Yang.
