The special will be hosted by Emmy(R) Award-winning writer, actor and comedian Andy Samberg (Brooklyn Nine-Nine). The stakes are higher than ever as Gotham explores the origin stories of some of the most ambitious and depraved Super Villains, including The Riddler, The Joker and Mr. Freeze, and Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) uncovers more secrets from his father's past, in the Season Two debut on Monday, Sept. 21 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), followed by the series premiere of futuristic crime drama Minority Report (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). Award-winning executive producers Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan meld comedy, mystery and horror in Scream Queens, which debuts with a special, two-hour series premiere event on Tuesday, Sept. 22 from 8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT. On Tuesday, Sept. 29 the series will make its time period premiere (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). On Tuesday, Sept. 29, new comedies Grandfathered (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) and The Grinder (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT) kick-off an all-new Tuesday. Grandfathered is a coming-of-middle-age story starring John Stamos (Full House) as the ultimate bachelor whose life is turned upside down when he discovers he's not only a father, but a grandfather. The Grinder, starring Emmy Award nominee Rob Lowe (Parks and Recreation) and Emmy Award and Golden Globe nominee Fred Savage (The Wonder Years), follows a famous TV lawyer (Lowe) who is going from show business... to the family business.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of one of the world's hottest cities - Miami - new medical procedural Rosewood premieres on Wednesday, Sept. 23 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT). The series stars Morris Chestnut as the city's top private pathologist. Empire returns at 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT.

On Thursday, Oct. 1 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), Bones returns for its 11th season. At 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT, Sleepy Hollow picks up after a disquieting break in the demonic action, as our heroes adjust to a world seemingly without Moloch, witchy wives, evil sons and headless ex-best friends. Judges Gordon Ramsay, Graham Elliot and Christina Tosi find the next best junior chef in America, when Master Chef Junior returns Friday, Nov. 6 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), followed by all-new episodes of World's Funniest (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), in which host Terry Crews and weekly guest panelists, such as Wayne Brady, Margaret Cho, Natasha Leggero and Sherri Shepherd, bring fresh, unexpected takes on the best in hilarious, heartwarming and other viral videos of the week.
