Fox Sets Finale Dates for Bones, American Idol and Others; Kitchen Nightmares to Bump Enlisted
When Fox’s Kitchen Nightmares returns, the beloved bubble comedy Enlisted will find itself on the maple chopping block.
Fox has revealed a slew of spring premiere dates, and among them are the Season 6 premiere of Kitchen Nightmares, which will air Fridays at 9/8c starting April 11. (Enlisted, which already is bumped on April 4 for the hour-long Raising Hope series finale, will resume its run at a date TBA.)
Other Fox series getting spring premieres are MasterChef Season 5 (being served Monday, May 19 at 8 pm); So You Think You Can Dance Season 11 (Wednesday, May 28 at 8 pm) and I Wanna Marry “Harry,” a new dating series in which an average British bloke tries to pass himself off as royalty; that bows Tuesday, May 27 at 8 pm.
Additionally, the Steve Carell-produced Riot, in which celebs and comedians face song, dance and sketch challenges whilst on a stage that’s at a 22-degree tilt, will debut Tuesday, May 13 at 9 pm (leading out of Glee‘s season finale), the Terry O’Quinn-fronted cop drama Gang Related will (finally) premiere Thursday, May 22 at 9, and Hotel Hell Season 2 opens its doors Monday, July 21 at 9.
As previously announced, The Mindy Project resumes its season Tuesday, April 1, for the first two weeks serving up double episodes in the 9 o’clock hour (before returning to its apres-New Girl home on April 15).
