FOX Renews ‘The Simpsons’, ‘Family Guy’ & ‘Bob’s Burgers’ For 2 More Seasons Each
FOX is sticking with three of its hugely popular animation slate as the US network orders two more seasons each of ‘The Simpsons‘, ‘Family Guy‘ and ‘Bob’s Burgers‘.
The three fan-favourite series, all of which are produced by Disney Television Studios’ 20th Television Animation, have each received two additional seasons. The renewals guarantee Seasons 14 and 15 for ‘Bob’s Burgers’, the 22nd and 23rd Seasons of ‘Family Guy’ and the record-setting 35th and 36th Seasons for ‘The Simpsons’, extending its standing as the longest-running scripted series in television history.
“With this trio of renewals, we celebrate excellence in animation on FOX, our wonderful, long-time partnership with 20th Television and the brilliant creators and incredible voices behind these forever favourites,” said Michael Thorn, President, Scripted Programming for FOX Entertainment. “Three-plus decades of The Simpsons, more than two decades of Family Guy and over a decade of Bob’s Burgers proves the enduring power of the animation genre on our network and the infinite fan affinity for these outrageously funny comedy classics.”
“Across 750 episodes of The Simpsons, 400 episodes of Family Guy, and 250 episodes of Bob’s Burgers, we couldn’t be more proud to continue delivering these three animated hits with the most brilliant teams in animation. Our relationship with FOX over the past three decades has allowed this trio of shows to thrive, grow and deliver immeasurable moments of hilarious and irreverent entertainment for fans, and we are absolutely thrilled that FOX is doubling down on each of these iconic shows,” adds Marci Proietto, EVP of 20th Television Animation.
The renewals are not all that surprising given ‘The Simpsons’, ‘Family Guy’ and ‘Bob’s Burgers’ currently rank among the Top 10 comedies for the 2022-23 Season, marking ‘The Simpsons’ fourth, ‘Family Guy’s fifth and ‘Bob’s Burgers’ second consecutive season topping the list. In addition, ‘Family Guy’ ranks as FOX’s most-streamed program on record and continues the trend this season, averaging 5.1 million P2+ viewers.
‘The Simpsons‘, ‘Family Guy‘ and ‘Bob’s Burgers‘ all air on Disney+ in the UK, and FOX in the USA. If you want to keep track of these or any other shows, you can add them via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when they get a UK premiere date.
