Game Show Status: FOX

Even with the writers and actors strikes over, networks seem to be stockpiling game shows and there's a lot of news surrounding them. Here's an update on the status of FOX's game shows as we head into 2024.

Note: Shows that haven't been officially renewed but are casting are not certain to return. However, most casting notices do include tape dates and sometimes even finish taping before getting a renewal announcement.

Beat Shazam- Completed airing its 12 episode sixth season this past summer. While not officially renewed, the show is casting for a seventh season. Filming will once again take place in Ireland and Jaime and Corinne Fox are expected to return.

Don't Forget the Lyrics: Completed airing its 12 episode second season (fourth overall) this past summer. Much like Beat Shazam, the show is casting with filming expected to take place in Ireland. 

Snake Oil- New show will wrap its ten episode first season on December 13th. The show has been a solid ratings performer and has recently begun casting for products to be the on the show. It's looking likely that FOX is going to order a second season.

Name That Tune- Season 3 first premiered in January 2023, then returned this Fall and will continue airing on Tuesdays til early March. The show was casting for a fourth season (which indicates it wouldn't be solely celebrities) and apparently another batch of episodes have been taped. It is unknown at this time how many episodes FOX has in the can, but it will be around for a while.

I Can See Your Voice- Returns for its third season on January 3rd. The show was renewed a while ago and was initially on the fall schedule before being held for the winter due to the strikes. It will bridge the gap to the new season of Masked Singer so it's likely another 10-12 episodes. 

FOX also has two new offerings this winter: The Floor, which is a quiz show hosted by Rob Lowe that premieres Tuesday January 2nd following Name That Tune, and We Are Family, another musical game show, hosted by Anthony Anderson and his mom. The show brings on relatives of famous celebrities and its up to the contestants to figure which celebrity they are related too. 

We Are Family premieres Wednesday January 3rd after I Can See Your Voice
