Three of FOX’s popular primetime animated series — Krapopolis, Grimsburg and Universal Basic Guys have been renewed by the network. Deadline reported today that the shows, which are all animated by Fox-owned Bento Box Entertainment, will join the broadcaster’s other long-running shows — Bob’s Burgers, Family Guy, The Simpsons and American Dad, which were all renewed for four-season pickups in April. Seth MacFarlane’s American Dad isi returning to its original home at FOX, after airing on TBS for more than a decade.
Karapopolis will end its second season on FOX later this month. The show, which is created by Dan Harmon, premiered on FOX in Sept. 2023. Set in ancient Greece, it follows the misadventures of a group of gods, monsters and regular humans. The new pickup will take it through its fifth season.
Freshman show Universal Basic Guys, which is created by brothers Adam and Craig Malamut had already been greenlit for a second season and will now get a third season. The Jon Hamm series, Grimsburg, which is wrapping its second season on FOX, has also been picked up for a third season.
However, the future is still hazy for The Great North, which is now in its fifth season on the network. The show, which stars Nick Offerman, Jenny Slate and Will Forte, is produced and created by Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin, Wendy Molyneux and Minty Lewis. Disney TV Studios’ president Eric Schrier told Deadline recently, that the show is still under consideration. “I don’t think FOX has made a final determination on it; it’s another show that we really love. It’d be great for it to continue, but I understand if they’re not able to,” he said.
