Fox’s fall 2023 primetime schedule is all about game shows, animated comedies, and unscripted series. With the Writers Guild on strike and the possibility of an actors strike looming on the horizon, Fox has come up with a lineup that’s pretty much protected from work stoppages.
September 2023’s schedule includes the series premieres of the game show Snake Oil hosted by David Spade and the animated series Krapopolis from Emmy Award-winner Dan Harmon. The Masked Singer returns for season 10 along with new seasons of the music-driven competitions Name That Tune and I Can See Your Voice. Fox’s fall roster also includes new seasons of Kitchen Nightmares, Hell’s Kitchen, Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, and LEGO Masters.
The network’s Animation Domination block kicks off on October 1st with Bob’s Burgers, Family Guy, and The Simpsons.

Krapopolis: Set in mythical ancient Greece, Krapopolis tells the story of a dysfunctional family of humans, gods and monsters trying to run one of the world’s first cities, while also trying their best to not kill each other in the process. The series features the voices of Emmy Award-winner Hannah Waddingham, Richard Ayoade, Matt Berry, Pam Murphy, and Duncan Trussell.
The series centers on a flawed family of humans, gods, and monsters attempting to guide humanity out of the savage wilderness and into a new lifestyle experiment they’re calling “civilization.” In the series, Ayoade voices “Tyrannis,” the mortal son of a goddess. He’s the self-involved, narcissistic King of Krapopolis, trying to make do in a city that lives up to its name. Waddingham plays “Deliria,” Tyrannis’ mother, goddess of self-destruction and questionable choices.
Deliria is as petty as she is powerful and only seems interested in defending civilization if it means she’ll get more worshipers out of it than her frenemies up on Mt. Olympus. Berry is “Shlub,” Tyrannis’ father, a mantitaur (half centaur [horse + human], half manticore [lion + human + scorpion]). He’s the self-described life of the orgy. A true pleasure seeker who thinks that everyone should just chill out and, if they need him for anything, he’ll be down at the bar. Murphy voices “Stupendous,” Tyrannis’ half-sister, daughter of Deliria and a cyclops. Trussell plays “Hippocampus,” Tyrannis’ half-brother, offspring of Shlub and a mermaid, and, obviously, a hot mess, biologically speaking.
Snake Oil: In the show’s all-new original format, contestants are pitched unique products by convincing entrepreneurs – some of whom are showcasing real business ventures, while the others are “Snake Oil Salesmen,” whose products are fake. With the help of guest celebrity advisors, contestants must determine which products are real and which are a sham for a chance to win life-changing money.
In each round of Snake Oil, contestants choose a pair of entrepreneurs and learn about their extremely unique (and often bizarre) products through visuals, a custom-made infomercial exclusively produced for Snake Oil, and by quizzing the business representative themselves. With the help of their celebrity advisors, the contestants must then decide who is selling an authentic product and who is hawking a sham.
Will they make the right choice or be duped by snake oil?!
