Fox has decided to interrupt the run of the sci-fi series "Fringe" with a seven-week hiatus in February, reports the Futon Critic.

In its place, Fox will air a mid-season replacement, the series "Past Life." The remaining seven episodes of "Fringe" will air in April through the end of the spring season. The reason for the respite is to make sure that "Fringe" runs without repeats for the year.
