FOX Announces Updates to Summer Schedule

FOX updates its summer schedule with a new time period for MASTERCHEF on Mondays, the two-night season premiere of HELL'S KITCHEN and the debut of new unscripted treasure-hunting series BURIED TREASURE.

On the second season of hit culinary competition series MASTERCHEF, America's best amateur cooks from all walks of life will compete for the coveTEd White apron two nights a week: Mondays in a new time period beginning June 13 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) and Tuesdays (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. Tuesday episodes of MASTERCHEF will move to 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT beginning July 19.

Superstar chef Gordon Ramsay throws open the doors of HELL'S KITCHEN for the series' eighth season, beginning with a tantalizing two-night premiere Monday, July 18 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) and Tuesday, July 19 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT). The series puts aspiring restaurateurs through an intense culinary academy on its regular nights as Ramsay seeks out the one chef who possesses the right combination of ingredients to win the life-changing grand prize.

BURIED TREASURE, the new unscripted series in which identical twin brothers Leigh and Leslie Keno ("Antiques Roadshow") travel across the country to help ordinary people discover the unknown treasures in their homes, debuts on its regular night, Wednesdays starting Aug. 24 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT). The Keno brothers are modern-day treasure hunters - world-renowned antique experts and appraisers who have helped people all over the world sell more than $1 billion worth of collectibles. From one-of-a-kind comics to a 300-year-old violin, the pair will travel the country to uncover age-old mysteries and change people's lives forever.

As previously announced, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE wraps up auditions with special two-hour episodes this week Wednesday, June 8 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) and Thursday, June 9 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT).
