She plays Dex Parios, a strong, assertive and sharp-witted army veteran with a complicated love life, gambling debt and a brother to take care of in Portland, Oregon.

John Slattery stars in the fact-based thriller neXT, about the emergence of a deadly, rogue artificial intelligence. The show is part of FOX’s midseason roster, along with Outmatched, a multi-cam family comedy featuring Jason Biggs about a blue-collar couple raising genius children; and The Great North, an animated comedy featuring Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally.

Also in the way of adult animation, Bless the Harts is a new half-hour comedy coming to FOX this fall on its Sunday block with The Simpsons, Bob’s Burgers and Family Guy. Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph are among the voice cast.

The character-driven genre thriller Emergence stars Fargo vet Allison Tolman as a police chief who takes in a young child she finds near the site of a mysterious accident who has no memory of what has happened. The show is set for Tuesdays this fall on ABC.

Kim Cattrall is returning to TV in FOX’s midseason launch Filthy Rich, about a Southern family famed for creating a wildly successful Christian TV network. It’s based on a format from New Zealand.
