Fox at TCA: Kevin Reilly on the Future of BONES, ALMOST HUMAN, ENLISTED, and BROOKLYN NINE-NINE

After Fox boss Kevin Reilly held his Press Tour exec session, he talked with reporters about a few issues that weren’t covered in the panel in depth…

ENLISTED: When Reilly was questioned about whether ENLISTED would get a Tuesday tryout (specifically paired with BROOKLYN NINE-NINE), he said that wasn’t in the cards.

“Not in this season,” he said. “I’m going to play 13 there…[but] the show’s running well, it’s a funny show.”

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE: The show nabbed two Globes last night with a best comedy and best comedy actor win, but Reilly says that won’t be what pushes him to eventually renew it.

“Well, I was tempted [to renew it] before we got the Globes [wins],” he laughed. “Look, I don’t think that’s going to be a big [surprise] announcement…I would anticipate that show will be back.”

ALMOST HUMAN: Given that the show has been airing considerably out of order, I asked Reilly how he felt about the show and its future.

“Really good,” he said. “That’s another crazy delivery pattern situation [like SLEEPY HOLLOW has had] and holidays and sports interruptions, and it’s been challenging. But I think the show is in a pretty good groove right now, and I really love our leads. I think there’s a show there, and I look at the cume [viewings] on the DVR, and it’s encouraging. So that’s going to be an interesting discussion [about its future].”

BONES: Since Reilly noted they are currently in negotiations for BONES season 10 — and BONES creator Hart Hanson had mentioned if it lived beyond that, things would have to drastically change — I asked Reilly whether Fox was looking at these negotiations as a deal for the end of the show.

“I would anticipate that would be the final season,” he confirmed about a potential season 10.
