“The Inside” a crime drama from Tim Minear (“Angel,” “Wonderfalls”) and Howard Gordon (“24”), is scheduled to premiere at 9 p.m. ET Wednesday, June 8 for FOX.
So far, “The Inside” is the network’s only new scripted show for the summer, although original episodes of “Family Guy” and “American Dad” are set to continue at least through June. FOX also has a few reality shows on the go, including “Hell’s Kitchen,” set to debut on May 30, and “So You Think You Can Dance,” which will open in midsummer.
FOX will announce its full schedules for summer and fall on Thursday (May 19).
“The Inside” has taken a strange path to its premiere. It began life in spring 2004 as a pilot about a young FBI agent, played by Rachel Nichols (“The Amityville Horror”), going undercover in a high school. The original writers, Todd Kessler and Glenn Kessler, eventually left and Minear was brought in to rework it.
Nichols stayed on and still plays a young FBI agent, only now her character is a member of the bureau’s Violent Crime Unit in Los Angeles.
The cast also includes Jay Harrington (“Coupling”), Katie Finneran (“Wonderfalls”), Adam Baldwin (“Firefly”) and Nelsan Ellis (“Warm Springs”).
