Fox has revealed a fall schedule with just two nights of series that aren’t sports or reality TV and no new shows — once again saving the lion’s share of its scripted programming for midseason.

That means new freshman entries — including the long-awaited return of “Baywatch,” as well as crime thriller (“The Interrogator”) from British comic icon Stephen Fry — will have to wait until at least winter for launch. Even then, Fox will premiere just three new series next season (the third being the new dating format “Marriage Market,” hosted by Whitney Cummings).
