The 2012-2013 season begins with the spectacular return of The X Factor, last fall's No. 1 new unscripted series. The hit music competition series, featuring Simon Cowell, Britney Spears, L.A. Reid and Demi Lovato, will launch with a two-night season premiere event on Wednesday, Sept. 12 from 8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT and Thursday, Sept. 13 from 8-9PM ET/PT). Featuring new cast members including Kate Hudson and Sarah Jessica Parker in multi-episode story arcs, the fourth season of Glee launches on a new night and time Thursday, Sept. 13 at 9:00 PM ET/PT, following The X Factor. With McKinley's senior class graduated and Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) off to NYADA, change is in the air this fall for the Glee club. Fan-favorite Bones will enter its eighth season on Monday, Sept. 17 at 8:00 PM ET/PT, followed by the series premiere of the compelling new drama The Mob Doctor at 9:00 PM ET/PT.
