Broadly speaking, Fox ‘s schedule for the start of the 2026-27 season looks a lot like the one that began the current season : Three nights of unscripted shows, two nights of scripted and sports on Friday and Saturday.

Some of the specifics, however, are different — including a live-action comedy joining the network’s Sunday animation block for the first time in eight years. The fifth season of the Joel McHale-led Animal Control will move into the fall for the first time — it’s been a midseason show for all of its life so far — and follow The Simpsons on Sundays. (The last live-action comedy to air on Fox’s Sunday schedule was Rel in 2018.)

Universal Basic Guys will move back to 9 p.m. Sundays, and the third season of Grimsburg, starring Jon Hamm, will round out the Sunday slate. Grimsburg has been away for awhile, last airing in July 2025.…
