A couple of updates. The networks are finalizing their fall schedule, and we got some news from FOX, both good and not so good.
Empire will be getting some extra episodes this season, bringing the episode count of Season 2 to 18. The season is expected to be split into two arcs a la the scripted dramas on ABC. Empire will keep its original timeslot of Wednesdays at 9/8c. We’ll see if it will continue to clash with Black-ish.
We already started off on a bad note with Sleepy Hollow with the news of Orlando Jones leaving. Things aren’t looking any better. Sleepy Hollow is moving to Thursdays at 9/8c to compete with ABC’s TGIT, and, more importantly, Scandal. The ratings weren’t so hot for Season 2, but now that the witch is dead (hopefully it sticks), and they’re getting a new showrunner, maybe they can change things around. It has too much potential to go out like this.
