Fox Shows That Haven’t Been Canceled or Renewed Yet
Still to be announced are the fates of the following Fox shows: Accused and and The Great North.
New Fox Shows
Fox is getting into the medical show game again after the success of Doc. This time, the network has recruited Josh Charles to headline a one-hour comedy series called Best Medicine, an adaptation of the U.K.’s Doc Martin, according to Deadline. He’ll star as the “peculiar and brilliant” title character Dr. Martin Best, and the show comes from Liz Tuccillo. Dr. Best is said to leave his career in Boston to practice in an East Coast fishing village where his lack of bedside manner skills might make him a pariah in the small town, despite his treatment talents.
The logline for Best Medicine reads: “Best Medicine is a charmingly complicated one-hour comedy based on the critically acclaimed and beloved global hit Doc Martin. The series centers on Martin Best (Charles), a brilliant surgeon who abruptly leaves his illustrious career in Boston to become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village where he spent summers as a child. Unfortunately, Martin’s blunt and borderline rude bedside manner rubs the quirky, needy locals the wrong way, and he quickly alienates the town, even though he’s all they’ve got. Although Martin can expertly address any medical ailment or mystery in this idiosyncratic town, he’s really just desperate to be left the hell alone. Instead, he keeps getting dragged right smack into the middle of their personal chaos, feuds and fantasies. What the locals don’t know is that Martin’s terse demeanor masks a debilitating new phobia and deep-seated psychological issues that prevent him from experiencing true intimacy with anyone. But tenacity is the creed of everyone in their small village, and the people who live there may be exactly what the doctor ordered.”
Also new will be the drama series Memory of a Killer, which is based on a 2003 Belgian novel and is described as “a redemptive story about a man who is losing his memory but gaining a conscience.” The full logline for the new show reads: “Memory of a Killer is a dramatic thriller about a hitman who develops early-onset Alzheimer’s. Losing your memory is a devastating hammer blow for anyone, but for Angelo Ledda, the stakes couldn’t be higher. His hit man job would be perilous enough, but there’s an added pressure. Angelo lives two totally separate lives — fearsome NYC hitman and sleepy upstate Cooperstown photocopier salesman and father. Having built and maintained a brick wall between his two worlds, Angelo has seamlessly juggled and compartmentalized for years. But now that’s all about to change. Because Alzheimer’s is a foe he can’t outrun, and he knows too well how this ends, as his older brother is already lost to the condition. Angelo is exceptionally resourceful and talented, the best of the best. But he’s about to be tested like never before — and now every minute counts. This is only made more difficult when he discovers that his wife’s recent death may not have been an accident. So, when someone comes after his daughter — who is pregnant — it’s clear the wall between his lives has been breached. Angelo must stop whoever’s coming for his family by searching his past hits for clues, and the list is very long. Now Angelo must hunt down his mortal enemy while continuing to carry out hits without giving away his diagnosis and still making it home in time to cook dinner for his daughter.”
Meanwhile, the network is also debuting an unscripted series called 99 to Beat, hosted by Ken Jeong, the logline for which reads: “100 contestants go head-to-head in a range of visually distinctive and hilarious games in an arced competition game show like we’ve never seen before. 99 to Beat is the game show that anyone can win, and there’s only one thing players must do for a chance of walking away with the cash prize – Don’t. Come. In. Last. As contestants battle it out against each other, each round will see the number of players whittled down until one person is left standing and they take home the top prize of $100,000.”
Last but not least, the network is reviving The Weakest Link with a celebrity edition: “A rapid-fire quiz show in which eight celebrities compete to win up to one million dollars for the charity of their choosing, these celebs will answer general knowledge questions and bank money as a group across multiple rounds. At the end of each round, the contestants vote out who they perceive to be the weakest link, and the host sends them off with the phrase, “You are the Weakest Link. Goodbye.” The two who make it to the final round will battle it out to determine who wins the banked money for their charity.”
Special Fox 2025 Programming
The network’s Gordon Ramsay series spread will also include a four-hour event series called Next Level Baker. The description for the series tells us, “A holiday special, and Next Level Chef’s first franchise extension, Next Level Baker will test the skills of bakers as they are challenged to create eye-popping, festive holiday delights across the franchise’s three iconic levels. During the new series’ four special hours – in which culinary titan Gordon Ramsay will serve as host and mentor — only one baker will rise to the top and claim the holiday baking crown.”

Fox 2026 Plans
In addition to announcing its fall slate, the network also revealed some plans beyond that. For starters, the network is reviving competition favorite Fear Factor. Plus, Fox announced an event series called The Faithful, a limited series which will air on Easter 2026 and is inspired by the Book of Genesis from the Bible’s Old Testament.
The logline for The Faithful reads: “A six-episode limited series presented over three consecutive weeks during next Easter and Passover season, The Faithful is based on The Old Testament’s Book of Genesis and told through the eyes of the courageous and passionate, yet flawed, women whose descendants would shape three of the world’s great faiths: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Dimensional, dramatic, intimate, even shocking, The Faithful is about discovering and losing love, the challenges of marriage, the joys and heartbreak of children, confronting temptation, and finding faith. The episodes will be told through the lens of five of The Bible’s most legendary women: Sarah and her former slave Hagar, Sarah’s great-niece Rebekah, and Rebekah’s nieces, sisters Leah and Rachel.”

Animal control,Alert and Rescue: Hi Surf are the only shows I watch on Fox. They are all pretty decent shows. The rest of the lineup can be described by the first part of the name of a show they already renewed; krap.

Renew Alert, Rescue high surf and especially Animal control. Love them! Fox always cancels my favorite shows. Prodigal Son, the following. Never got over that. Please review missing alert, rescue I serve and animal control. Thank you

I really liked Prodigal Son also. I am always amazed at the stupidity of the networks who cancel great shows. It will always be about the money and will never be about the viewers unless you go "woke" like A&E did when they cancelled the number one all time money making show "Live PD" in June 2020 because of the murder of George Floyd. I'm still laughing at them for that stupid cancellation. They were making millions monthly on that show. But like they say "Get woke, go broke."

Unbelievable that Fox cancelled Rescue, one of the best shows in its lineup. Who makes this decision? Obviously they don't care what viewers like and come back each week to watch. Many viewers will be searching for good programming elsewhere which is difficult to find. Too much junk, not enough quality. Hopefully another network will pick up Rescue and we will follow.

I only watch Hi surf, Murder in a Small Town, and Alert on Fox, since they canceled Lone Star. I love these shows and don't want them to be cancelled. I am not interested in any animated shows and certainly not a reboot of Baywatch.

All TV Channels want to show is just how dumb people are with nothing but these stupid "REALITY" shows. FOX, ABC, NBC, and CBS. Pay to watch TV and this is the programing? Writers and their "SPIN-OFFs". NO imagination! Bringing back 60s, 70s and 80s with different people playing the Headliners. Spin-offs last at most 4 to 5 years of that long. The good shows last 1 season and CANELLED.
The Brilliance of Broadcast Television!

Of course no need to worry about Gordon Ramsey shows, those would never be canceled on Fox/Ramsey network

Rescue Hi Surf should not have been canceled. Whoever Fox has consulting on cancelations, renewals, and the schedule lineups should be fired for being a complete idiot!!! I mean, you have game shows 2 nights a week in prime time slots and don't get me started on the stupidity of the Sunday lineup. Tuesday is the only decent day they have. If you want people to watch shows on Fox, give them something to watch every night like CBS does. You have no clue how many viewers you lost by not renewing the good, watchable shows. I'll watch on demand (still have to sit through commercials but it beats having to pray that something good is on).
