Fox has renewed the majority of its unscripted slate.

The network has handed renewals to series including Celebrity Weakest, Extracted and Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test ahead of its Upfronts presentation.

It has also cooked up a raft of renewals for Gordon Ramsay’s menu of titles.

Celebrity Weakest Link, hosted by Jane Lynch, returns for a second season, Extracted is back for season three, the Don’t Forget The Lyrics revival is back for season four, Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test returns for season five and Celebrity Name That Tune will sing for season six.

This comes on top of a raft of previously disclosed renewals for its unscripted slate. Crime Scene Kitchen host Joel McHale recently revealed to Deadline that he is starting to film the cooking competition series later this month.

Deadline also revealed The Masked Singer would be back for Season 15, albeit with a new production company and a possible new location.

Elsewhere, the network has previously announced that Fear Factor: House of Fear is returning for Season 2, The Floor is back for Seasons 6 and 7, Lego Masters is back for Season 6 with a new host, Beat Shazam was renewed for Season 8, Next Level Chef is cooking up its Season 6 and 99 To Beat is returning for its sophomore season.

Two titles that aren’t returning are The Snake, the reality competition hosted by Jim Jeffries, which premiered in June 2025, and So You Think You Can Dance, which aired Season 18 in 2024.

Fox CEO Rob Wade revealed that one of the reasons that it renewed the majority of its slate was in case the actors and writers went on strike, again.

“We do buy more shows than we need for the season,” he said on its Upfronts press call. “Thankfully, it feels like the discussions between the unions have gone well, but there was a time in March, and before that January and February, where we were unsure. We could have been looking at another strike action for this year, and who knows what’s going to happen.”

He added that unscripted shows are a “vital part of our programming strategy”. “It’s better to have a show ready to go than to try and rush a show to be made,” he added.
