* Pivoting, a comedy starring Eliza Coupe (Happy Endings) and Ginnifer Goodwin (Once Upon a Time)

* This Country, a sitcom starring Seann William Scott (Lethal Weapon) based on the British series of the same name

* Blood Relative, a drama about solving crimes via genetic genealogy, starring Melissa Leo (I Know This Much Is True)

* The Big Leap, a drama (also based on a British series) about a group of “underdog” dancers competing to be on a reality show revolving around the ballet Swan Lake; Teri Polo (The Fosters) and Scott Foley (Scandal) star

* An untitled drama in which a woman becomes a substitute teacher in her hometown and agrees to help young filmmakers in their quest to do a shot-for-shot remake of The Goonies

The extensions indicate that Fox intends to shoot the pilots, something that was very much up in the air due to the coronavirus shutdown.

Fox previously ordered to series Call Me Kat, starring Mayim Bialik, who will executive-produce alongside her Big Bang Theory co-star Jim Parsons; and the animated comedies The Great North and Housebroken.
