Fox Season Finale 2023 Dates: ‘9-1-1,’ 2-Hour ‘Lone Star,’ ‘Accused’ & More
We’re just about a month away from the season finales for Fox’s current primetime lineup.
The network has announced the finale dates for its shows from the fall and midseason. It all begins on May 4, with its half-hour comedies Animal Control and Call Me Kat. Sunday’s animation lineup will not be ending on the same day, with Family Guy on May 7 and the rest later in the month. Next Level Chef (on May 11) and 9-1-1: Lone Star (on May 16) will both be getting two-hour finales.
These dates come after Fox has already renewed The Cleaning Lady, Accused, Alert: Missing Persons Unit, The Simpsons, Bob’s Burgers, The Great North, and Family Guy for the 2023-2024 season. On the scripted side, the fates of dramas The Resident (which ended its sixth season in January), 9-1-1, 9-1-1: Lone Star, and Fantasy Island, and comedies Animal Control, Call Me Kat, and Welcome to Flatch are still up in the air.

They just announced the cancellation of The Resident and I am so upset. How do we change their minds?

I'm praying that Fox will renew both 911 series and The Resident. All three of these dramas are excellent and keep me hooked week after week! I'm excited that Fox has already renewed the dramas Accused and Alert! Please now, make it a five by renewing The Resident and 911 and 911 Lone Star!! Thank You!

9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star are probably still guaranteed renewals, even though they're owned by Disney too. FOX can't be THAT stupid to cancel either one, let alone both. That's network suicide, especially since they've already cancelled The Resident. As the other sixth season show, 9-1-1's renewal is also dependent on contract renegotiations and money. I'd say it's good for at least another season, which means 9-1-1: Lone Star is too. After that, it's anybody's guess. You'll never see another Bones on FOX, where any show lasts 12 seasons. The network is drowning in licensing fees for at least 80% of its lineup, maybe more.

My uncle is Marketing Director at new Fox Corporation and he told me 2.5 weeks ago The Resident was getting Axed because of the enormous amount of money 💵 they have to pay Disney for licensing, he told me 911 Lone Star was OK the original 911 don't know yet but if they do renew this will be last season fox wants to stop paying licensing fees to Disney so they want to trash the old and bring in the new so they have their own licensing agreement and don't have to pay Disney some 43% that's crazy don't blame Fox it's Disney's fault because they won't lower the licensing rate.

Bingo. Salary increases don't help, either. I blame 21st Century Fox, though. They screwed FOX, once they sold the company to Disney in 2019. 20th Television was covered by the sale, but the network wasn't. So FOX lost their studio, and became part of a new company called Fox Corporation. If shareholders hadn't sold 21st Century Fox to Disney, Fox Entertainment wouldn't have been created in 2019 to replace the loss of 20th Television.
The Cleaning Lady's owned by Warner Bros. Television. Alert and Accused are owned by SONY Pictures Television. FOX pays licensing fees for them too, but they're younger shows. So, it's much cheaper.
Disney inherited 9-1-1, 9-1-1: Lone Star and The Resident from FOX. As such, they're just doing what all outside studios do. Nothing new. Since 9-1-1's also a sixth season show, they're in the same position as The Resident. As FOX's golden goose though, they're probably safe for now. If the show's renewed, that's most likely it. And once 9-1-1 goes, 9-1-1: Lone Star will too. FOX just hasn't found a replacement for them yet. The days of X-Files and Bones type longevity on this network are gone.
CBS did the same thing to Magnum P.I. after four seasons. And, they co-produce it with NBC Universal. They felt the licensing fee was too high, so they canceled it. While CBS is the lead production studio, NBC Universal actually owns the IP. That's why NBCU saved it, just like they saved Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
