Created by Chris Morgan (Fast & Furious 6), Gang Related followed the Gang Task Force of the Los Angeles Police Department and explored the ties that one member of the team had to a local gang. The series starred the likes of Emmy winner Terry O’Quinn (Lost) as Sam Chapel, head of the Task Force; Ramon Rodriguez (The Wire) as Ryan Lopez, a LAPD detective who, as a child, was taken in by members of a dangerous gang after the death of his father; Sung Kang (Monk) as FBI Agent Tae Kim; RZA (Californication) as DEA Agent Cassius Green; and Jay Hernandez (Nashville) as investment banker Daniel Acosta, Ryan’s childhood best friend.

With Gang Related‘s cancellation, only Sleepy Hollow remains standing from FOX’s freshman drama class of 2013-2014, which also included Almost Human and Rake. This season, FOX has character procedural Backstrom, hip-hop drama Empire, and mystery Wayward Pines as possible candidates for a summer slot, though it’s not yet confirmed that the network will want to replace Gang Related with another scripted project.

Summer scripted series still awaiting word on their fates includeMistresses, Motive, Taxi Brooklyn, Extant, and Under the Dome.

Are you disappointed at the cancellation of Gang Related? Do you think that the show could have become less serialized given everything that happened in the finale? Which FOX drama seems the most likely candidate to replace Gang Related next summer?

The post FOX Announces Additional 2014 Premiere Dates appeared first on TVHackr.

As a result of Cosmos being aired on Sundays, the animated comedies will be shifted around, with Bob’s Burgers moving to 7:00, American Dad! to 7:30, and Family Guy to 8:30. The Simpsons will remain at 8:00.

Surviving Jack will makes its series premiere Thursday, March 27th at 8:30 following a half-hour American Idol results show. Set in the 1990’s, the comedy stars Christopher Meloni as a man raising his teenage son (Connor Buckley) in Southern California and features the likes of Rachael Harris, Claudia Lee, and Kevin Hernandez. FOX has made mention of a half-hour Idol results show for years, though, so there’s always a chance that plans could change and Surviving Jack could be on the move. 24, meanwhile, returns on Monday, May 5th at 8:00 with a two-hour premiere that finds Jack Bauer looking to thwart an impending terrorist attack in London. New to the cast for the 12-part event are Yvonne Strahovski, Giles Matthey, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Michael Wincott, and Academy Award nominee Judy Davis.

Finally, crime drama Gang Related is set to launch Tuesday, May 20th at 9:00 following part one of the American Idol season finale. Created by Chris Morgan (Fast Five), the series stars Ramon Rodriguez as Ryan Lopez, a rising star in Los Angeles’ elite Gang Task Force. Along with Sam Chappel (Terry O’Quinn) and Cassius Green (RZA), Ryan looks to take on the gangs of Los Angeles, including the one he swore allegiance to as a boy. In addition to Rodriguez, O’Quinn, and RZA, Gang Related will feature the likes of Jay Hernandez, Cliff Curtis, and Sung Kang.

Jason Ritter comedy Us & Them, which was effectively cancelled last fall with its reduced episode order, has yet to receive a premiere date.

From J.J. Abrams, Almost Human is an action-heavy police drama set 35 years in the future, when police officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids. A cop with an aversion to robots slowly comes around to his partner and the two team up to solve crimes. The show stars Karl Urban, Lili Taylor, Michael Ealy, Minka Kelly, and Mackenzie Crook.

Based on the hit Australian series of the same name, Rake stars Greg Kinnear as a brilliant and frustratingly charming criminal defense attorney. The show also features Miranda Otto, Necar Zadegan, Tara Summers, and David Harbour. Finally, Sleepy Hollow is a modern day take on “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”, which follows Ichabod Crane as he partners with Sleepy Hollow’s local female sheriff to solve the mysteries of a town ravaged by the battle between good and evil. Among those

Among the drama pilots not receiving a pickup are Boomerang, about a family of assassins; Delirium, based on the sci-fi book trilogy; The List, which centered on an Inspector with the U.S. Marshal Service who’s tasked with finding the person who stole a file with the secret identities of every member of the Witness Security Program; and The Wild Blue, from Justified executive producer Graham Yost.

FOX is set to reveal its 2013-2014 schedule on Monday, May 13th. You can check out the comedies currently in contention here.
