Fox Renews 2 Drama Series, Including Alert: Missing Persons Unit

A pair of Fox dramas will live to see another day: The network has renewed Alert: Missing Persons Unit and Accused for Season 2, TVLine has learned.

The former will undergo a behind-the-scenes change, with Bones vet Carla Kettner tapped to take over as Alert: MPU showrunner. She succeeds Season 1 boss John Eisendrath, who will remain on board as an executive producer.

Still no word on The Resident, which we recently noted is looking unlikely to return for Season 7.

Accused thus far this season has averaged 4.8 million total viewers and a 0.8 demo rating (with Live+7 playback, and including a well-watched post-NFL premiere). Out of all scripted fare Fox has aired this TV Season, it ranks No. 3 in audience, trailing only the 9-1-1s, and ties Lone Star and The Simpsons for No. 2 in the demo. The star-studded anthology hails from executive producer Howard Gordon.

Alert: MPU‘s 10-episode season, which wrapped Feb. 27 (read post mortem), averaged 3.8 million total viewers and a 0.5 demo rating, ranking fifth in audience (behind The Resident) and sixth in the demo, among scripted Fox fare. Scott Caan and Dania Ramirez star; Jamie Foxx is an EP.
