is set to order a handful of comedy and drama pilots in January with a view to move completely off-cycle.
This comes as the network steps up its push into comedy after not having any new live-action comedies on the fall schedule, with particularly high hopes for“We’re going to order a couple to several drama and comedy pilots in January but we’re also doing off-cycle. We’re not going to do all of our ordering in January; our hope is to be completely off-cycle,” Fox president of entertainment
told Deadline. “We’re looking at ordering things when they’re ready and backing off the traditional cycle and looking to set series up for success.”On the comedy front, one of the reasons that the network will likely pilot off-cycle is the fact that Julia Franz, who joined as SVP and Head of Comedy in September, has not been with the network long.
