Fox Renews ‘Glee’, ‘New Girl’ And ‘Raising Hope’

Fox has renewed three more series for next season: freshman comedy New Girl, hourlong musical comedy Glee and family comedy Raising Hope. It will be a second season for New Girl, fourth for Glee and third for Raising Hope. “Over the past season, New Girl has become the hottest new appointment series for young adults; Raising Hope has established itself as one of the smartest and most unique offbeat comedies on television; and Glee has continued its success as a genre-defying, global cultural phenomenon,” said Fox’s entertainment president Kevin Reilly. “All three of these comedies add a fresh and distinctive flavor to our Tuesday nights, and I’m really happy to bring them back to our air next season.” The pickup comes after Raising Hope delivered solid numbers when moved to the anchor 8 PM position in the two-hour comedy block Fox tried out while Glee is on hiatus, earning a spot on the renewal list alongside shoe-ins Glee and New Girl. Fox’s Tuesday lineup returns to normal tomorrow with new episodes of all three newly-picked up series, Glee, followed by New Girl and Raising Hope. The three comedies join recently renewed Fox dramedy Bones. As for Fox’s other comedy series, I Hate My Teenage Daughter has been practically canceled, while Breaking In‘s chances for another comeback after surviving last year’s cancellation appear slim. On the drama side, another, probably shortened season of Fringe still looks like a possibility if the economics are worked out.

    • Well Ryan Murphy supposedly has a gamechanger for next season to keep Finn, Rachel and Kurt around so maybe they’ll become zombies and devour Becky and Blaine. Although most probably we’ll just get a season split between college and high school so that it can air with no hiatus, except for baseball, presential debates, election night and overlong hours of X-Factor…

  • They should try changing things up. Raising Hope? With their current programs-Fox needs to raise hopes in terms of their programming. Seriously,I used to be a big Glee fan ,but,it’s not the same anymore. With Lea supposedly leaving after this season,I may not be watching next season. Some people say it’d be stretching it having her still there because of her age now. Oh please-the entire Glee show is an over the top unrealistic program. She could have stayed on regardless of her age. I will miss Rachel. She’s one of the ONLY reasons why I even bother watching Glee at all.

    • Lea’s not leaving, none of the leads (Colfer, Michele, Monteith, Morrison) are. That was a rumor started by Ryan Murphy last summer, likely a ploy to try and push through a spin-off that didn’t work. Most they’ll do is get rid of some supporting (Salling, Agron and Riley are prime suspects).

    Diabolically awful show.

  • Looks like Touch and Fringe will join these three and that’ll be the end of it for Fox.

  • Man, how the times have changed. Raising Hope = Solid numbers? Couldn’t top 4M viewers the last two weeks nor break a 2.0 in the demo. It’s FOXs Cougar Town. Critics like it, seriously devoted fans but NO ONE watches.

    • “It’s FOX’s Cougar Town.”

      If you mean that the network has purposely shoveled it around in the scheduling to confuse viewers and did not bother any marketing, then yes, it is FOX’s Cougar Town.
