FOX is adding three new dramas, two animated comedies and one unscripted series to its lineup, expanding its content strategy with increased program ownership.

“FOX Entertainment enters the Upfront—a week literally built for broadcasters to align with advertisers—as the only company, no matter the platform, with advertising at its core,” said Charlie Collier, CEO OF FOX Entertainment. “Advertisers have been our focus since the start of this company, and we’re proud that this too is proof of FOX’s differentiation. As you’ll see during our presentation, building barriers between our best content and our brand partners simply isn’t our business model.”

FOX’s new dramas include Monarch, a multi-generational musical drama about America’s first family of country music. It stars Susan Sarandon (Feud, Thelma & Louise) and Trace Adkins (Old Henry).

Accused is based on the BBC’s BAFTA-winning British crime anthology. Each episode opens in a courtroom on the accused, with viewers knowing nothing about their crime or how they ended up on trial. Told from the defendant’s point of view through flashbacks, Accused holds a mirror up to the current times with evocative and emotional stories. The series is executive produced by Howard Gordon (24, Homeland), Alex Gansa (24, Homeland) and David Shore (The Good Doctor, House). executive producers Gordon and Gansa.
