Patrick Dempsey will lead Fox’s straight-to-series thriller Memory of a Killer, slated for the 2025–2026 broadcast season. He portrays Angelo Ledda, a hitman who balances his role as a contract killer in New York City with a second life as a photocopier salesman and father in Cooperstown, New York.

Soon after, he uncovers signs that his late wife’s death may have been intentional. When someone targets his pregnant daughter, he must sift through past assignments for clues, silently safeguarding his family while maintaining his cover.
Based on the 2003 Belgian film De Zaak Alzheimer and its 2022 American adaptation Memory, the series merges psychological drama with suspense.

Patrick Dempsey is headed back to network television in a major way. Fox has officially ordered the drama series Memory of a Killer for the 2025–2026 season, with Dempsey set to take on the complex lead role. The announcement came Monday ahead of the network’s upfront presentation in New York, marking a high-profile return to broadcast for the actor best known as McDreamy on Grey’s Anatomy. Although, it must be said, this does not sound very McDreamy at all.
“Memory of a Killer is a propulsive series with a noisy, unrelenting character hook that immediately grabbed our attention,” said Michael Thorn, president of Fox Television Network. “In the spirit of 24 and House, we’re introducing a daring new signature Fox lead, a complicated antihero facing unimaginable danger.”
Memory of a Killer will be Dempsey’s first broadcast lead role since his long run on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, where he played Dr.

The two projects, which emerged as frontrunners on Fox’s development slate earlier this spring to score slots for 2025-26, have something else in common — both are based on European IP as is Fox’s breakout hit of this season, medical drama Doc.
Memory of a Killer‘s greenlight follows the series pickup by Fox of hourlong comedy series Best Medicine starring Josh Charles.

Fox will be starting the 2025-2026 season with six new series, including upcoming drama “Memory of a Killer,” a revival of “Fear Factor” as well as the return of “American Dad!” and the network’s Sunday night Animation Domination block.
The news was announced ahead of Fox’s upfront presentation on Monday. Fox also revealed that this past season it ranked No. 1 among broadcasters when it came to the targeted 18-to-49 demographic and that it was the only network among Fox, ABC, CBS and NBC to be up year-over-year in the demo.
“Building on our winning position in both key demos and co-viewing this season, Fox delivers a 2025-26 schedule that’s filled with irreverence, fun and much-needed laughter,” Rob Wade, Fox Entertainment CEO, said. “Next year more than ever, we’re bringing that promise to life with a terrific slate to delight our audiences across linear, Hulu and beyond.

Fox veterans The Simpsons, Family Guy and Bob’s Burgers have never really been on the bubble because first, they remain strong performers for the network, and secondly, due to the longer lead time needed in animation, they would always get an early renewal. That was taken to a new level this year as all three, along with American Dad!, returning to Fox after an 11-year run on TBS, have just been given four-year pickups, keeping the 20th TV Animation-produced comedies off the bubble list for the foreseeable future.
Also safe are the two Fox-owned animated comedies, Krapopolis and Grimsburg, which are not as strong in the ratings as the three long-timers but still bring eyeballs while also making money for the network via international and streaming sales. Krapopolis, now in its second season, already has been renewed for a fourth season. Grimsburg, also in its second season, is expected to be renewed for a third,...

BBC One has announced the three-part drama series "Rillington Place" which Bandit Television and Endemol Shine Group will produce. The story is based on a series of murders that took place in the 1940s and 50s in London's Notting Hill area at the infamous No. 10 building on the titular street.
The series unfolds from the viewpoints of three key players - the multiple murderer John Christie, his wife Ethel, and their neighbor Timothy Evans. John murdered at least eight women and was hanged, while Evans was hanged for the murders of his own wife and daughter.
It was later learned Christie killed Evans' wife, Evans was granted a posthumous pardon in 1966 and that miscarriage of justice was said to have been a major contributor to the abolition of capital punishment in Britain.
