FoxYou might have noticed Extracted Episode 6 wasn’t on last night when it should have been. Here’s why the episode has been delayed, alongside when you can catch it.
Not only is Fox responsible for some of our favorite binge-worthy TV shows, but its reality TV roster is pretty stacked too. Extracted is their latest survival show, following 12 contestants as they vie for a $250,000 prize in rural Canada.
The big twist here is that contestants don’t get to decide their own fate. You might have seen a huge control room in the TV show’s promotional shots, and that essentially tells you all you need to know – their families are watching on elsewhere and calling the shots.
Dedicated fans will know Extracted Episode 6 was supposed to air on March 17, but it didn’t. So why was it delayed, and when will we actually be able to see it?
Extracted Episode 6 delay down to “other obligations”
According to Fox, Extracted Episode 6 didn’t air on March 17 due to “other TV obligations that they are fulfilling.” Instead, it’s expected to be released on March 24, 2025.
Exactly what this “obligation” is wasn’t confirmed, but if it’s anything like the current CBS delays, we can assume it’s tied into ongoing sports coverage. March Madness is currently underway, which is a key part of the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament.
It’s speculated that live coverage for the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards is also affecting scheduling delays this week.
The new date of March 24 hasn’t been confirmed by Fox just yet, but we can make an educated guess. The episode will air in its usual 7pm central standard time slot.
