While specifics weren't given, Celebrity Family Feud is reportedly being looked upon as a reliable way to patch together an upcoming schedule, given the number of episodes already produced.

From executive producer Ryan Reynolds, Don't is a funny, physical game show hosted by Adam Scott that features contestants teaming up with their family and friends for the chance to win by tackling hilarious tasks, although each one comes attached with one simple rule: "DON'T." Like Celebrity Family Feud, no premiere date has been mentioned, though ABC has teased that the show is "coming soon."

The globe-trotting competition series The Amazing Race already has another season ready to air, though no scheduling announcements have been made by CBS. Given the network recently merged with Viacom, there are additional shows from The Paramount Network that may find their way onto its lineup as well, though that's purely speculative at this point.

The Gordon Ramsey-hosted reality series Hell's Kitchen has a new season in the can. However, Fox may opt to hold it until the fall instead of its usual summer airing, though that has yet to be announced by the network.
prevnext'The Simpsons'
All of Fox's animated series remain on the lineup, including The Simpsons, are apparently unaffected by coronavirus shutdowns. The long-running series' long production times have likely helped it to remain on the fall schedule.
prevnext'The Mayor'
With over 30 shows on hiatus at NBC right now, Ted Danson's upcoming sitcom The Mayor had already wrapped production before the studios began to shut down, so that will definitely be on the fall lineup. The comedy comes from the creative team of Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, who were behind 30 Rock and The Unbreakable Kimmie Schmidt.

The reality dancing competition World of Dance is one of NBC's many unscripted shows that has episodes ready to roll and may very well play a major role in the fall lineup. Others include Hollywood Game Night, The Wall and American Ninja Warrior.
