It seems Fox has high hopes for its upcoming filmmaking competition series On The Lot. The network has scheduled the show's first episode to air on Tuesday, May 22, after the season finale of American Idol. The show's second episode will air on Thursday, May 24th, after the season premiere of another Fox hit, So You Think You Can Dance.

On the Lot producer Mark Burnett is already seeing dollar signs. He said in a press release "We are very excited that our partners at Fox have scheduled the launch of this series with the powerhouse American Idol finale and the premiere of So You Think You Can Dance. Coming off of the success of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, launching out of American Idol is a terrific move."

On The Lot, which will also have a results show, will then move to Mondays and Tuesdays starting May 28 and May 29.

According to Fox, producers received more that 12,000 video submissions from aspiring filmmakers.

“This confirms our notion that there is an incredible amount of talented filmmakers in the world looking for their big breaks," Burnett says.
