As with NBC, there are no comedies on the fall schedule, although a couple are slated for midseason. Fox will need replacements for Thursday night football and an extra hour on Sunday night.

Monday

8:00 - 911
9:00 - The Big Leap

Tuesday

8:00 - The Resident
9:00 - Our Kind of People

Wednesday

8:00 - The Masked Singer
9:00 - Alter Ego

Thursday - NFL Football
Friday - WWE Wrestling
Saturday - College Football

Sunday

7:00 - Football
8:00 - The Simpsons
8:30 - The Great North
9:00 - Bob's Burgers
9:30 - Family Guy

Prodigal Son and Bless the Harts have been cancelled. Last Man Standing ended its run. No decision yet on The Masked Dancer. 911 Lone Star will return after the first of the year.

The Big Leap is about "a group of diverse, down-on-their-luck characters attempting to change their lives by participating in a potentially life-ruining reality dance show that builds to a live production of 'Swan Lake.'” Sounds like a modern day version of They Shoot Horses, Don't They.

Our Kind of People is a drama about the lives of the upper class black elite living on Martha's Vinyard. It stars Morris Chestnut, who is expected to continue his role on The Resident as well.

Alter Ego is a singing competition in which contestants will not perform as themselves, but will "show how they’ve always wanted to be seen, creating their dream avatar." I'm not sure if that means dressing up like Elvis or doing a version of the Masked Singer or creating an animated avatar that performs.
