We already knew when “Empire” was returning to Fox, but now we’ve got all of the network’s spring premiere dates.
Lord/Miller’s “Making History” debuts on Sunday March 5, an hour before “The Last Man on Earth” sees its spring comeback. That Thursday, the Hannah Simone-hosted competition “Kicking & Screaming” kicks off.
Be sure to mark your calendar for Wednesday, March 22. Not only is that the evening of the “Empire” return, but the hip-hop soap opera nabs a new lead-in with 8 p.m.’s racially charged “Shots Fired.”
On Tuesday, April 4, “Prison Break” returns at 9. “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” is back on the air a week later, in the time slot 60 minutes earlier than Wentworth Miller and the (chain) gang. As previously announced, “24: Legacy” begins its two-night premiere on Sunday, February 5, following Super Bowl LI. New police drama “APB” launches the next night. “Lucifer” is back on Monday, May 1.
In addition, Fox has ordered four more episodes of the Kaitlin Olson-led comedy “The Mick.” It follows an unapologetic degenerate (Olson) who suddenly finds herself stuck raising her spoiled niece (Sofia Black-D’Elia) and nephews (Thomas Barbusca, Jack Stanton) in affluent Greenwich, Conn.
