Fox has given a third-season renewal to Star, its music-themed drama co-created and executive produced by Lee Daniels and Tom Donaghy.
The series is produced by 20th Century Fox TV in association with Lee Daniels Entertainment. All series renewals and new series pickups at Fox so far this season have gone to shows from the network’s current studio sibling.
Boosted by having Empire as a lead-in, Star has averaged a 1.9 adults 18-49 Live+7 rating to rank just behind 9-1-1 and Empire on the list of Fox’s highest rated series in the demo; its multi-platform audience of 7.2 million, up +71% versus its Live + Same Day delivery. While these are solid numbers, Star also is expensive to produce, and its international sales have been challenging, which made the renewal decision a bit more complex.
Star follows three talented singers – running from their pasts and desperate for a new start – with ambitions of stardom,...
