Fox just gave it the cherry timeslot after Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9, 2025. Thats a big vote of confidence for the freshman drama, which is set to premiere this fall on Monday nights at 9 p.m. ET, after 911 Lone Star. Although the impact of the Super Bowl leadout has varied over the years, it proved to be a huge boon this year to , which launched Tracker after Super Bowl LVIII on Feb. 11 and watched that drama turn into a big hit. The last time Fox aired the Super Bowl, in 2023, it ran an episode of its hit food competition series Next Level Chef. And in 2020, Fox aired an episode of another unscripted program, The Masked Singer. Fox last ran a scripted program behind the Super Bowl in 2017, when the network launched the series premiere of 24 Legacy, which only ultimately lasted a season. Popular on Variety Fox is bullish on Rescue HISurf, which comes from prolific executive producer/director John Wells (Shameless, The West Wing, ER) and executive producer/writer Matt Kester, who previously worked with Wells on Animal Kingdom. We believe this show has real franchise potential, Fox TV Network prexy Michael Thorn said on Monday. Added Fox Entertainment CEO Rob Wade Weve done a huge amount of research into what we feel is going to work best for after the Super Bowl. We find that returning IP does better. It kind of makes it more concrete, in firms up the audience. And so we really felt like if we could eventize essentially what is the premiere of the back end of Rescue, we could have a really exciting night of television. The Hawaiiset lifeguard drama follows the personal and professional lives of the heavywater lifeguards who patrol and protect the North Shore of Oahuthe most famous and dangerous stretch of coastline in the world. Each episode will feature these dedicated, heroic, and adrenalineseeking firstresponders saving lives in the difficult and often lifethreatening conditions of Hawaiis Seven Mile Miracle. Series stars include Robbie Magasiva (Wentworth), Arielle Kebbel (The Vampire Diaries), Adam Demos (Sex / Life), Kekoa Kekumano (The White Lotus), Alex Aiono (Pretty Little Liars Original Sin) and Zoe Cipres (Roswell, New Mexico). Sea Shimooka (3 Body Problem), Shawn Hatosy (Animal Kingdom) and Ian Anthony Dale (The Resident) recur. Warner Bros.
