“Red Band Society” follows a diverse group of teenagers who become unlikely allies and friends in the high school drama, set in the pediatric wing of a hospital.

Octavia Spencer and Dave Annable star in the series, along with Griffin Gluck, Charlie Rowe, Rebecca Rittenhouse and Zoe Levin.

Minutes before announcing the pickup of “Red Band Society,” Fox ordered hip-hop drama “Empire” to series. On Monday, the network predictably ordered the Batman prequel “Gotham” to series.
