FOX Cancels Paranormal Comedy “Ghosted” After Just One Season
FOX has cancelled a ton of shows this year, including “The Exorcist,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” and “Lucifer.” Up next on the chopping block? “Ghosted,“ which premiered last October and starred Craig Robinson and Adam Scott as paranormal investigators.
The Wrap notes, “An individual with knowledge of the decision tells TheWrap that, while the network was “proud of the show,” the addition of “Thursday Night Football,” as well as new comedies on Fridays and Sundays, and the large amount of returning shows next season, Fox’s schedule couldn’t accommodate a second season of “Ghosted.” However, a few unaired episodes from the first season may still become available for viewing at a later date.”
In “Ghosted,” created by Tom Gormican and Kevin Etten, “A skeptical tough ex-cop is forced to team up with a nerdy scientist and firm believer of the paranormal. They must help a secret L.A.-based government agency deal with unexplained and paranormal occurrences.”
Based on the 2023 prep school thriller novel by American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis, creator Ryan Murphy’s “The Shards” is headed to FX and Hulu this Summer.
Look for “The Shards” to premiere on FX and Hulu on August 5 at 6 p.m. PT.

Igby Rigney (“The Fall of the House of Usher”), Homer Gere (“The Agency”), Graham Campbell, Kaia Gerber (Shell), Evan Rachel Wood (“Westworld”), Igby Rigney, Wes Bentley, and Hayes Warner star in the upcoming series “The Shards.”
Set in 1981 Los Angeles, the semi-autobiographical, dark coming-of-age tale follows a 17-year-old Ellis during his final year at the elite Buckley prep school. Upending the character’s world is the arrival of a mysterious new student, Robert Mallory, whose unsettling presence coincides with the activities of a serial killer known as The Trawler.
In the series, Igby Rigney will portray Ellis, and Graham Campbell will play Thom. Homer Gere, son of actor Richard Gere, has been cast as Robert Mallory. Frequent Murphy collaborator Max Winkler (“American Horror Story,“ “Grotesquerie”) is attached to direct.
The series is produced by 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television.
