LOS ANGELES: Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution will be busy next week screening such shows as the psychological thriller The Exorcist for buyers.

Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution will also be presenting to buyers 24: Legacy, which chronicles an adrenaline-fueled race against the clock to stop a devastating terrorist attack on United States soil—in the same real-time format that propelled the genre-defining series 24.

The all-new event series Prison Break, filmed on location in Morocco, is sure to be a highlight for fans of the original. In the new FOX midseason show, clues surface that suggest a previously thought-to-be-dead Michael may be alive. Lincoln and Sara, Michael’s wife until he was assumed dead, reunite to engineer the series’ biggest escape ever, as three of Fox River State Penitentiary’s most notorious escapees, Sucre, T-Bag and C-Note are pulled back into the action.

Minnie Driver stars in ABC’s Speechless as a mom on a mission who will do anything for her husband Jimmy and her kids Ray, Dylan, and JJ, her eldest son with special needs. Meanwhile, Milo Ventimiglia and Mandy Moore are part of the ensemble cast in the NBC series This is Us, from the writer and directors of Crazy, Stupid, Love.

The screenings slate also features Star, which follows three talented singers, desperate for a new start and with ambitions of stardom, as they navigate the cutthroat music business on their road to success. Lee Daniels (Empire) is an executive producer and Queen Latifah and Benjamin Bratt star.

Also being screened, the FOX midseason comedy Making History follows three friends from two different centuries as they try to balance the thrill of time travel with the mundane concerns of their present-day lives.
