FOX sets the stage for the 2025-26 season, announcing premiere dates for a dynamic fall lineup of new and returning scripted, unscripted and animated series.
The fall season kicks off with the fan-favorite musical guessing game Celebrity Name That Tune, hosted by Tony Award winner and Emmy Award nominee Jane Krakowski with Grammy Award-winning producer Randy Jackson serving as band leader, returning for another season starting Monday, Sept. 15 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), followed by the series premiere of cutthroat game show Celebrity Weakest Link, hosted by Emmy Award winner Jane Lynch (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). The hit Emmy Award-nominated Weakest Link, hosted by Jane Lynch, returns for a new season with this all-celebrity edition, but for the first time in broadcast history, on FOX! In each themed episode, eight celebrities from the worlds of television, sports, or stand-up comedy 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 infamous farewell, "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. The classic Weakest Link format, distributed by BBC Studios, has been produced in more than 45 territories around the world over the past two decades. Since its original run in 2001, Weakest Link has been the fastest and fiercest quiz show on television, earning a place in pop culture history. Celebrity Weakest Link is executive-produced by Ryan O'Dowd and Krystal Whitney for BBC Studios Los Angeles Productions. Stuart Krasnow, Aaron Solomon and Jane Lynch are executive producers with Krasnow serving as showrunner. Celebrity Name That Tune is produced by FOX Entertainment Studios, Prestige Entertainment and BiggerStage. On behalf of BiggerStage, Sean O'Riordan and Shane Byrne serve as executive producers. Noah Rubenstein and Tom Ruff also serve as executive producers.
Television's #1 game show The Floor, hosted by Rob Lowe, begins its fourth season on Wednesday, Sept. 24 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), followed by the series premiere of new competition series 99 to Beat (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). Based on the fast-growing global format, The Floor premiered in the U.S. on FOX in January 2024, where its debut marked FOX's most-watched Tuesday unscripted debut in more than 13 years. The Floor is the first game show ever to have a telecast rank as the #1 entertainment series telecast of the season among Adults 18-49, and its Season Three premiere was the highest-rated trivia game show telecast in almost 17 years. On The Floor, created by John de Mol's Talpa (Big Brother, Deal or No Deal, The Voice) and produced by Eureka Productions (Farmer Wants a Wife, The Quiz with Balls), 100 new contestants, representing all fifty states will stand their ground on a massive, interactive LED game floor featuring 100 squares, each representing a different trivia category. The first challenger, selected at random, must choose one of his or her neighboring opponents to go head-to-head in an epic quiz duel in the opponent's category. The winner takes over the loser's square, gaining valuable ground as they expand their territory, while the loser exits the game. The winner must then choose - do they go on the offensive to dominate more of the board? Or do they let The Floor choose a new challenger? The contestant who gains full control over The Floor takes home a life-changing grand prize. The Floor is produced by Eureka Productions, Talpa and BiggerStage. John de Mol, Maartin Meijs, Chris Culvenor, Paul Franklin, Wes Dening, Jayne Parker, Pat Kiely and Sean O'Riordan serve as executive producers. Anthony Carbone serves as executive producer / showrunner and Rob Lowe is co-executive producer. Hosted by Ken Jeong and Erin Andrews, in 99 to Beat, 100 contestants go head-to-head in a range of seemingly simple 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. Finish. 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 $1,000,000. 99 to Beat is produced by Initial, with Natalka Znak, Claire O'Donohoe, Katy Manley and Lee Smithurst executive producing. The series is based on a format originated by VRT and De Chinezen, and is distributed by Primitives.
On Thursday, Sept. 25, Hell's Kitchen (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) makes its Season 24 premiere, followed by the Season Four premiere of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). Gordon Ramsay returns for Season 24 of Hell's Kitchen, themed "Battle of The States," filmed once again on the east coast at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut - home to one of Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen restaurants, where Season 23 winner Chef Kyle Timpson now serves as executive chef - Chef Ramsay requested his team to scour the country and find one worthy chef from each of the 50 states. In a series first, in the premiere episode, Ramsay will whittle down these 50 semi-finalists to the Top 18 that will advance to the iconic kitchen with the chefs carrying the torch for their state throughout the entire competition. The kitchens will continue to be broken down as men vs women, so chefs from Washington and South Carolina could be on the same team with the theme more about the individual chef and what they represent than it is about what they'll be cooking or who they'll be cooking with. For the first time in Hell's Kitchen history, every chef will be from and represent a different place. Hell's Kitchen is produced by ITV America in association with A. Smith & Co. Productions. Gordon Ramsay, Arthur Smith, Kent Weed, Kenny Rosen and Bernie Schaeffer serve as executive producers. In Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, this time around, the recruits will be training in Morocco and will endure the grueling circumstances of urban warfare. New this season, some recruits will arrive in pairs consisting of spouses and family members. All recruits must learn the art of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable as they are faced with training challenges across the country's expansive desert terrain, including a supply search in an abandoned village where they must race to extraction, a treacherous rat-run through dark and narrow tunnels, a plane shell dunk drill where pairs of recruits will be submerged under water and must escape, a death-defying urban ladder crossing between buildings 50 ft above the urban streets, and much more. In this experiment, there are no votes and no eliminations - just survival. These celebrities, who are so used to being in the spotlight, will quickly learn the meaning of "no guts, no glory" - and no glam. Selection for the Special Forces is a test unlike any other. 18 celebrities from all genres and walks of life, will take on, and try to survive, demanding training exercises led by Directing Staff (DS) agents Rudy Reyes, Mark "Billy" Billingham, Jason "Foxy" Fox and Jovon "Q" Quarles, an elite team of ex-special forces operatives. Special Forces: World's Toughest Test is produced by Minnow Films. Becky Clarke, Liam Humphreys and Dave Sutton serve as executive producers.

A day in the life of the 757 Hustle Show just got more interesting. After years of living in the attic upstairs, George found something that needed repairs. So, he decided to stream about it.
But what happened on Day 2? Well.....
Soon as we get more updates from the 757 Hustle show, we'll pass them along to you.

One day you're in, the next day you're out … but then one day you could be back in again. That's the case for Heidi Klum, who returns to host "Project Runway" as seen in the Season 21 trailer out Tuesday after exiting the fashion design competition at the end of Season 16 in 2017.
"We're in a new home, with new rules," the supermodel teases in the trailer, which also showcases a revamped workroom.
Joining her will be Season 4 winner Christian Siriano as mentor — since Klum's former "Making the Cut" co-host Tim Gunn will not be returning — as well as series mainstay Nina García and new judge Law Roach.
"Project Runway" will make its highly anticipated debut on Thursday, July 31, with a two-episode premiere starting at 9:00 p.m. EDT on Freeform and available to stream shortly after on Hulu and Disney+. Subsequent episodes will air weekly starting at 10:00 p.m. EDT.
When "Project Runway" debuted in 2004, the series broke new ground and helped revolutionize the reality competition genre. Since then, the Emmy(R)-winning series has aired in more than 125 countries.
The long-standing series has had a profound effect on the fashion industry, launching the careers of prolific designers, including Christian Siriano, Austin Scarlett, Leanne Marshall, Irina Shabayeva, Michael Costello and Bishme Cromartie, among many others.
"Project Runway" is produced by Spyglass Media Group and Alfred Street Industries. Gary Barber and Sean Hoagland serve as executive producers for Spyglass. Dan Cutforth, Jane Lipsitz, Nan Strait, Dan Volpe, Michael Rucker and San Heng serve as executive producers for Alfred Street Industries. Klum, Siriano and Garcia also serve as executive producers.

“When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
So said Sherlock Holmes about the logical method of deduction the fictional detective used to solve his mysteries.
Now, real-life contestants will be tasked with following in Holmes’ footsteps as Banijay-backed Remarkable Entertainment is developing a reality competition under the working title Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock: The Detective Academy.
Remarkable has struck an exclusive deal with The Arthur Conan Doyle estate to develop the format. The indie didn’t divulge much info about the show beyond saying it will “test players’ powers of deduction and logic as they attempt to solve puzzling crimes from the world of Sherlock Holmes.”
The show will now be taken out to UK broadcasters and the international market.
Remarkable bosses Tamara Gilder and Cat Lawson said the partnership with the estate “opens the door to a rich universe of iconic IP.” Conan Doyle’s books have already proved “rich” on the scripted side, with Benedict Cumberbatch starring in the BBC’s hit TV series plus a wealth of movies based on the novels.
“There is simply no greater figure in detective fiction – Sherlock Holmes defined the genre and continues to inspire new generations of armchair detectives around the world,” they added. “Working in close collaboration with The Arthur Conan Doyle Estate, the guardians of Conan Doyle’s work and his incredible characters, including the world-famous detective, will ensure the format and its contestants are immersed in the most authentic world of Sherlock Holmes.”
The move comes with big players tapping into well-known IP for the next generation of unscripted shows. Netflix, which made a hit gameshow based on its Squid Game smash, has greenlit series based on the Monopoly game and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Get ready for a "thrilling" new game show to take over your evenings, as Destination X has officially confirmed its release date.
Hosted by Rob Brydon, the BBC series follows a group of contestants on a mysterious travel adventure across Europe. The contestants must figure out their locations by taking part in challenges to win clues. But will they be able to avoid some pesky misdirects?
According to RadioTimes, the show will kick off on Wednesday 30 July at 9pm, on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Episode two will air the following day (31 July) at the same time.
The official description reads: "Merging fantasy with reality in this larger-than-life adventure competition series, viewers will follow contestants as they embark on the road trip of a lifetime but have no idea where they are. In each episode, the players will guess where they are on the real-life board game, with those furthest from the actual location being eliminated from the competition. Whoever is first to reach 'Destination X' will take home the crown".
The format of the show originated in Belgium and has since received various versions across the globe; including a US series, hosted by Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Meanwhile, UK host Brydon has expressed his excitement for the upcoming BBC series, describing himself as the "puppet master".
"How could I turn down the opportunity to become the mastermind of Destination X, the thrilling new travel adventure series coming to the BBC next year," he said. "It's a show that turns the whole of Europe into a board game – manipulating the players and the audience at home along the way. I can't wait to be the puppet master orchestrating every twist and turn as our contestants are taken on a journey where everything is not as it seems. It's going to be a wild ride!"
Destination X begins on Wednesday 30 July at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.

The popular game show "Kapamilya Deal or No Deal" is making a comeback, as is returning host Luis Manzano.
The host-actor posted on his social media accounts a promo for the show, featuring himself answering a call from the mysterious banker.
The promo included clips from past episodes featuring guests like Apl.de.ap, John Prats, Sam Milby, Sylvia Sanchez, and Negi before confirming the show would be airing daily on television and online. In the posts' captions, Luis said new episodes would follow as well.
The game show is the Philippine version of the Dutch game show "Miljoenenjacht," which is based on the German game show "Die Chance deines Lebens." The Philippine version follows the game play of the American "Deal or No Deal," hosted by Howie Mandel, where briefcases are eliminated each round and a hidden banker offers deals via phone, often the average of the values hidden in remaining cases. The game ends when a player accepts a deal or accepts the amount of the very first case they pick.
Kris Aquino hosted the first three iterations of "Kapamilya Deal or No Deal" from 2006 to 2009 before Luis took over for the fourth season. His stint ended in 2016.
Luis also currently hosts "Rainbow Rumble. He previously presented game shows like "Family Feud," "Minute To Win It," and "Celebrity Playtime."

Maltese board game Paniku is poised to make its television debut come September, with Jamie Cardona hosting the weekday gameshow on TVM.
Contestants aged 16 and over will compete for a €30,000 ($34,696) prize, awarded to the winner who manages to keep their cool throughout the fast-paced trivia game.
“I’m incredibly excited to be hosting Paniku on TVM. It’s fast, unpredictable, and fun, exactly what I see when I look in the mirror,” said Cardona, who has had a whirlwind of success in the last year.
Auditions for the pilot season are already underway.
This will be Cardona’s first time hosting a television game show. He won this year’s edition of Mużika Mużika with his song Stajna Konna Aħna, while his one-man show, Mid-Djarju ta’ Student fi Skola tal-Knisja, was recognised by Malta Records as the longest-running theatrical production in the country. Cardona also appeared in several major stage productions, including the sold-out musical Il-Każin tal-Imqarbin, and played the title role in The Great Dictator, Charlie Chaplin’s classic satire.
The Paniku gameshow is based on the original BDL board game Paniku, in which players draw a card containing a challenge, typically asking the others to list a number of items, such as five bays or four government ministries. The other players must shout out the correct list within 10 seconds of the buzzer to stop the cardholder from keeping the card. Remaining cards are then used to build a six- or nine-box pattern, where the edges of each box must match. The first player to complete the grid wins.
