‘The Return of Jezebel James’ Premiere Moved

…and not earlier either.
First, Fox announced last October that it planned to shorten the already traditionally short freshman season of the Parker Posey-Lauren Ambrose midseason series The Return of Jezebel James from an original thirteen episodes to a mere seven.
Now comes word that the network has rescheduled the premiere later than the previously announced date, […]
