Fox Banks Heavily On Recognizable Brands as 'Exorcist,' 'Lethal Weapon' Highlight New Fall Additions

With the success of "24: Live Another Day" and the re-booted "The X-Files," nostalgia is all the rage at Twenty-First Century Fox Inc FOXA and it's clear that will continue through 2016.

The network's new fall schedule was revealed to investors, analysts and the media on Monday and recognizable IP was a common theme. Fox is adding four new programs to its 2016-2017 arsenal based on previous material.

The fall will see "The Exorcist" and "Lethal Weapon" join the schedule with "24: Legacy" and "Prison Break" coming at midseason. "24: Legacy" was also announced as the winner of the post-Super Bowl derby where it will air part one of its two-part series premiere.

Hybrid animated/live-action comedy "Son Of Zon" will be the third and final new fall entrant for the studio with the anticipated comedy "The Mick," set for mid-season along with "Making History," "Pitch," "Shots Fired," "APB" and Lee Daniels' "Empire"-esque follow-up "Star."

As was the case with NBC on Sunday, Fox's fall schedule is very light on new series with the bulk being saved up for midseason.
