Fox released its fall debut dates on Thursday, revealing a lineup that includes a two-hour “Scream Queens” premiere event on Sep. 22.
The prior evening, “Gotham” and “Minority Report” make their debuts. The Batman prequel will explore the origin stories the Riddler, the Joker and Mr. Freeze on Mondays during its sophomore season.
The Tuesday “Scream Queens” (pictured above) event will be followed by the premieres of respective John Stamos and Rob Lowe sitcoms “Grandfathered” and “The Grinder.”
On Wednesday, Sep. 23, smash Fox hit “Empire” returns, following the debut of Miami medical procedural “Rosewood.”

Knowing Lucious won’t be held much longer in prison, Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) and her allies within the Lyon family make a desperate attempt to seize control of the company. As the Lyons continue to battle each other, a bigger external threat emerges that could force them to unite.
A few nights later, on Sunday, “Bob’s Burgers,” “The Simpsons,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Family Guy” and “The Last Man on Earth” all return.
