Fox has made a couple of important changes to its schedule for the next couple of weeks, and if you’re a fan of the network’s dramas, you’re going to want to take note.

The Resident was originally going to end its sixth season with a two-hour finale on Tuesday, January 10, starting at 8/7c. 9-1-1: Lone Star was then going to be taking over its Tuesday, 8/7c time slot, on January 17. Now, the final two episodes of The Resident Season 6 will be split over two weeks, with the penultimate airing on Tuesday, January 10, and the finale on January 17, both at 8/7c.

That means that the 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 4 premiere will move back a week and is now airing on Tuesday, January 24, at 8/7c. Following it will be one of Fox’s new dramas, Accused, at 9/8c, following a special premiere on Sunday, January 22.

In the final two episodes of The Resident Season 6, “All the Wiser” and “All Hands on Deck,” the ER quickly fills up after a heavy storm causes a devastating helicopter crash. Conrad (Matt Czuchry), Devon (Manish Dayal), and the rest of the doctors rush to treat patients including the helicopter pilot, a barista, and Chastain’s least favorite person, Governor Mark Betz (Steven Culp). Then, Conrad is pulled away from celebrating Gigi’s 6th birthday when Sammie comes into the hospital with a 104-degree fever, and Kit (Jane Leeves) must call in a favor for treatment. Meanwhile, a heart arrives for Governor Betz’s transplant surgery.

And in the 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 4 premiere, “New Hotness,” Captains Owen Strand (Rob Lowe) and Tommy Vega (Gina Torres) along with the members of the 126 firehouse are called into action to a county fair when a “Derecho,” a series of fast-moving, severe thunderstorms hit Austin, causing hurricanic and tornadic-force winds, heavy rains, flash floods and a wide path of destruction. Then comes an even more rare weather phenomenon, a “Heat Burst,” causing temperatures to go up to 122 degrees Fahrenheit.

Encore airings of Fox’s other new midseason drama, Alert: Missing Persons Unit, will air on January 10 and 17, following The Resident, at 9/8c. “When I read it, it didn’t read as a procedural. I know I’ve been tricked,” Scott Caan tells TV Insider of the series. “It was really about the characters. It was really about this relationship between Dania [Ramirez] and my characters and our missing son and her new fiancé and the people that she works with.”

    This might actually be a GOOD thing. When New Amsterdam was canceled back in March, NBC announced Season 5 would only have 13 episodes. Now, they're airing a two-hour series finale on January 17. The Resident also has 13 episodes this season. So when FOX promoted a two-hour season finale, people started speculating whether it's actually a series finale. Spreading that out over two weeks makes it seem more like a regular season finale, even though renewal's still a toss-up at this point. Season 6 is ending early enough as it is, so an extra week is nice.

      IF The Resident is canceled by Fox, I see it moving to another network or even Disney+. It is produced by Disney so Fox doesn't make that much money off of it.

        I am sure so many people love the Resident and DO not want to see it end. This show has never had a "bad" episode. I also feel it is right up there with the classic series "ER" but is more up to date for these times, series. I think you are right JOHN, when discussing via text with my sister, we both watch The Resident each week, we were both disappointed that the show had just come back from winter break and with only 2 episodes, is very sad for us and I am sure all fans of The Resident. I never thought it would fade away as it appears might be happening, but it may also be sent off to "Streaming Land". It is ok for all those that already have streaming services, but for all those that do not have updated TV's it is not fair...more and more shows and "special" movies by networks are appearing on the streaming services. Not all are quality and are filled with excessive swearing, etc. Disney is not what it had been in many generations ago...and is also a

        disappointing to many, except for the children that care about their cartoon specials and movies.. Fox is a fickle Network and it would not surprise me if they shoved it off.

    I choose the record every new episode option on my Xfinity account so I don’t miss any due to changes in network scheduling. Sometimes I’m totally - and pleasantly- surprised to see an episode show up for a series I have forgotten about.
