FOX Announces 2027 Midseason Schedule: ‘Murder in a Small Town,’ ‘Memory of a Killer’ and More

FOX is getting its 2027 television lineup in order, and the network has plenty of returning favorites and new series ready to keep viewers busy once the holidays are over. From the return of Murder in a Small Town and Memory of a Killer to the highly anticipated Baywatch revival, January and February are shaping up to be pretty crowded.

The network announced its official midseason schedule on Wednesday, November 11, confirming premiere dates for several scripted dramas, reality competitions, and two new series. There are also some changes to the weekly lineup, including a new Monday night pairing that crime drama fans might want to circle on their calendars.

‘Murder in a Small Town’ and ‘Memory of a Killer’ Take Over Mondays

Beginning Monday, February 1, Murder in a Small Town returns for Season 3 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, followed by the Season 2 premiere of Memory of a Killer at 9 p.m. Murder in a Small Town will welcome Peter Gallagher as a new series regular, adding another familiar face to the crime drama starring Rossif Sutherland and Kristin Kreuk.

Meanwhile, Patrick Dempsey is returning for another season of Memory of a Killer, alongside Michael Imperioli. The series follows a hitman whose secret life becomes increasingly complicated as he struggles with early-onset Alzheimer's disease.

That's a pretty intense way to start the week, but if you love a good murder mystery, FOX is apparently making Monday nights your new home.

‘Baywatch’ Returns to Television in January

The beaches of Southern California are calling again! FOX's new Baywatch series officially premieres Wednesday, January 6, at 9 p.m., following the Season 15 premiere of The Masked Singer at 8 p.m.

Stephen Amell stars as Hobie Buchannon, the son of David Hasselhoff's Mitch Buchannon, who is now serving as a Baywatch captain. His life gets a little more complicated when his daughter, Charlie Vale, played by Jessica Belkin, arrives hoping to follow in the family's lifeguard footsteps.

The cast also includes Hassie Harrison, Shay Mitchell, Thaddeus LaGrone, Noah Beck, and Brooks Nader. Original series stars David Chokachi, Erika Eleniak, Michael Bergin, and Kelly Packard are also returning. So yes, we're getting a new generation of lifeguards, plenty of dangerous rescues, and probably enough beachside relationship drama to keep everybody occupied.

Stephen Fry Leads New Crime Drama ‘The Interrogator’

FOX is also introducing The Interrogator, a psychological crime procedural starring Stephen Fry, which premieres Tuesday, February 9, at 8 p.m.

Fry plays Conrad Henry, a former MI6 agent who leads a team of unconventional investigators specializing in getting inside the minds of dangerous criminals. When traditional interrogation methods aren't working, Conrad and his team step in with their own unusual approach.

Jenna Elfman, Michael Beach, Jessica Sula, Luke Kleintank, and Maria Zhang round out the cast.

The series takes over the Tuesday 8 p.m. slot following the conclusion of Best Medicine's second season, while Doc continues at 9 p.m.

‘Doc,’ ‘Best Medicine’ and FOX Reality Favorites Return

Before the February premieres begin, FOX will kick off January with the winter returns of Best Medicine and Doc on Tuesday, January 5. The medical dramas will continue airing back-to-back, with Best Medicine at 8 p.m. and Doc at 9 p.m. On the reality side, Extracted returns for its third season with a special two-hour premiere January 7 before moving into its regular Thursday 9 p.m. slot on January 14.

Gordon Ramsay fans will also have plenty to watch. Hell's Kitchen continues airing Thursdays at 8 p.m. in January before Next Level Chef takes over the time slot with its Season 6 premiere on February 18.

And, of course, The Masked Singer returns for Season 15 on January 6, because apparently there are still plenty of celebrities willing to sing inside giant costumes while the rest of us try to figure out who they are.

FOX has not announced midseason return dates for its animated series, including American Dad!, Bob's Burgers, Family Guy, and Krapopolis. Additional programming announcements are expected.

With familiar dramas returning, a fresh take on Baywatch, and another crime procedural joining the lineup, FOX is certainly giving viewers plenty of options in early 2027. And putting Murder in a Small Town and Memory of a Killer together on Mondays? That's one pairing we're particularly curious to see.
