Alcatraz, the new drama from J.J. Abrams, has a premiere date with the release of Fox’s mid-season schedule. The show is set to start Monday Jan. 16 at 9 p.m., airing in Canada on Citytv.

The new comedy I Hate My Teenage Daughter, which premiered Friday Dec. 2 at 9 p.m. on Global in Canada, two days after its Wednesday night launch on Fox following The X Factor at 9:30 p.m., is notably not on the network’s mid-season schedule. Fox said the show will return to its lineup in the spring.

Also changed on the schedule is the premiere date for the new season of American Idol.

Previously slated for a Jan. 22 debut, the reality has been moved ahead to a two-night event on Wednesday Jan. 18 at 8 p.m. and Thursday Jan. 19 at 8 p.m. The original premiere date of Jan. 22, following the NFC Championship game, will now play host to a 90-minute Idol special. The show airs in Canada on CTV.

Bones spinoff The Finder is set to launch Thursday Jan. 12 at 10 p.m. following a Bones rerun. Both shows air on Global in Canada.

Fox’s new animated show, Napoleon Dynamite will premiere Sunday Jan. 15 at 8:30 p.m. in the spot currently filled by Allen Gregory. Both shows air on Global in Canada.

Fox is the last of the American networks to release details on their mid-season schedule. MiC previously reported on premiere dates from NBC, CBS and ABC.
