Fox Phl’s program line-up for Feb.
February proves to be an extremely exciting month for Fox Philippines as it announces the premiere of several hit US television series. Several shows are returning to the channel this month, including The Walking Dead, Billions and WWE’s wrestling programs, while new shows Legion and 24: Legacy are set to bring more prestige to an already strong line- up.
Legion is based on a Marvel comic book that follows the life of David Haller, who is diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder and soon discovers that he’s a powerful mutant — probably one of the most powerful that has ever lived. Starring Dan Stevens ( Beauty and
the Beast and Downton Abbey), the 10- episode limited series premieres on Fox tonight at 8.
Another exciting release on Fox is 24: Legacy, a spin- off of the hit TV show 24. The series stars Corey Hawkins and Miranda Otto and follows the story of Eric Carter, an ex- Army Ranger who is being sought by a terrorist group and tries to stop one of the largest attacks to potentially happen in the US. The heart- stopping 12- episode series will show exclusively on Fox.
Meanwhile, the highly- successful series The Walking Dead returns on Feb. 13 at 11: 35 a. m. simultaneously with the US, with an 8: 55 p. m. replay for viewers in the evening. The mid- season premiere continues the explosive Season 7 of the zombie apocalypse- based show. Billions is also returning to Fox for its 13- episode second season, premiering on Feb. 20, 9: 50 p. m. exclusively on the channel.
Fox is also the Philippines’ home of wrestling, with its wide roster of WWE titles such as Raw, Smack
Down and Royal Rumble. On Feb. 14, the local production Wrestling
Gods adds to the channel’s testosteronefueled wrestling mania when it premieres at 9: 50 p. m.
To promote the huge boost in programming, Fox is teaming up with Philippine escape room game Breakout to host an experience called FOXtreme
Breakout, which will bring elements of these shows closer to viewers in a unique escape room challenge that will run until Feb. 12 at Uptown Mall in Bonifacio Global City.
Charo Espedido, director and head of content & marketing at Fox Networks Group Philippines, said, “The addition of new shows like Legion and 24: Legacy, along with the return of hit shows like
The Walking Dead, Billions and our favorite WWE programs to FOX, makes it clear that we are determined to deliver the most exciting, action- packed US entertainment content to our viewers. We’re excited to share these shows and engage with FOX’s viewers at the FOXtreme Breakout game at Uptown Mall this month so that we can whet their appetite for the amazing shows they’ll see on their TV screens soon.”
