FOX comes through for us bigtime this week with a blitz of new shows and seasons that are airing within hours of the US.
Three series premiere on the channel and all of them are reaching us within 17/18 hours of their American premieres.
This means that the channel is keeping us in touch with the US every day of the week if you include Fear The Walking Dead on Mondays, which also airs within hours. It's exactly how every international channel needs to air their shows. If channels want to stop piracy -

Scream Queens
Premiere date: Wednesday 23 September at 20h10 (Premieres in a double bill)
Scream Queens is a horror-comedy anthology series created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan.
The first season centres round a series of murders involving the Kappa Kappa Tau sorority.
The girls of Kappa House are dying for new pledges...
Kappa House, the most sought-after sorority for pledges, is ruled with an iron fist (in a pink glove) by Chanel Oberlin (Emma Roberts, American Horror Story: Freak Show).
But when anti-Kappa Dean Cathy Munsch (Jamie Lee Curtis, Halloween) decrees that sorority pledging must be open to all students, and not just the school's silver-spooned elite, all hell is about to break loose, as a devil-clad killer begins wreaking havoc across the campus.

Empire 2
Premiere date: Thursday 24 September at 21h00
Season 2 picks up three months after the shocking arrest and incarceration of Empire Entertainment head Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard).
Still in federal lockup, Lucious is trying to run Empire from inside, while a headline-grabbing state prosecutor hangs her political ambitions on bringing him down - no matter what it takes.
Meanwhile, Cookie stages a star-studded #FreeLucious concert in his support, while scheming with Andre, Hakeem, Anika and the business savvy Mimi Whiteman (guest star Marisa Tomei) to finalise the hostile takeover of Empire.
