Fox returns to The Great North

Animated comedy Bob’s Burgers was also created by Loren Bouchard

US broadcast network Fox has renewed its adult animation series The Great North, from Bob’s Burgers creator Loren Bouchard, for a second season.

The renewal comes ahead of the show’s premiere on Fox later this year and continues the network’s focus on adult animation for its Sunday schedules – a genre with more Covid-proof production than most.

The series is created, written and executive-produced by Bob’s Burgers writers and executive producers Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin, and writer Minty Lewis.

It follows the Alaskan adventures of the Tobin family and is a 20th Century Fox Television production with animation produced through Bento Box Entertainment, which Fox Entertainment acquired in August last year.
