We’ve reached Day 4 of Adweek’s week-long fall TV preview, and today we’ll be looking at Fox, which hit rock bottom this time last year: four of its five fall 2014 shows flopped immediately, with only Gotham connecting with audiences. The network tumbled to fourth place last season among adults ages 18 to 49, though it got a huge midseason boost from Empire, which became one of the most successful new series in decades but only had 12 episodes.
Fox upped Empire's Season 2 order to 18 episodes and is making the show its fall centerpiece, which will give the network a big bump, no matter how its freshman series fare.
