Fox has pushed the season 2 premiere of anthology crime series Accused to Tuesday, October 8 from its original October 1 date due to the recently scheduled vice presidential debate between Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), hosted by CBS News.
The season 2 premiere will air at 8 pm on October 8, followed by Murder in a Small Town. The second episode of Murder in a Small Town will still air on October 1, but now at 8 pm, followed by the debate, the network said Friday.
