FOX Announces AniDom Premieres For 2024
FOX is announcing its midseason schedule, including a special preview of Grimsburg (Jan. 7) as well as returning series The Great North (Jan. 7).
Animation Sundays kick off on Sunday, January 7, immediately following the FOX NFL Doubleheader (8:00-8:30 PM ET/5:00-5:30 PM PT; Live to all time zones), with a special preview of the all-new series, Grimsburg. Starring and executive-produced by Emmy Award winner Jon Hamm (The Morning Show, Fargo, Mad Men), Grimsburg centers on Marvin Flute (Hamm), who may be the greatest detective ever to catch a cannibal clown and correctly identify a mid-century modern armoire. But there’s one mystery he still can’t crack — himself. To do that he must return to Grimsburg, a town where everyone has a secret or three, and redeem himself in the eyes of his fellow detectives, his ferocious ex-wife and his lovably unstable son.
Following Grimsburg, Animation Domination continues with new episodes of Krapopolis (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT / 5:30-6:00 PM PT; Live to all time zones), Bob’s Burgers (consulting producer Jameel Saleem just signed a new overall deal with UTA) (9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT) and the season four premiere of The Great North (9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT). Grimsburg and The Great North make their time period premieres on Sunday, Feb. 18, as the night kicks off with all-new episodes of The Simpsons (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) and Krapopolis (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT), followed by The Great North (9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT) and Grimsburg (9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT).
Grimsburg is produced by FOX Entertainment’s Emmy-winning animation studio, Bento Box Entertainment. The program is fully owned by FOX Entertainment. Chadd Gindin is executive producer and showrunner. Jon Hamm, Gail Berman, Hend Baghdady and Connie Tavel are executive producers. Catlan McClelland and Matthew Schlissel created the series and serve as co-executive producers.
Entering its fourth season, The Great North is an animated comedy series following the Alaskan adventures of the Tobin family, as single dad Beef (Nick Offerman) does his best to keep his bunch of kids close – especially his only daughter, Judy (Jenny Slate), whose artistic dreams lead her away from the family fishing boat and into the glamorous world of the local mall. The Great North was created and written by Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin, as well as writer Minty Lewis. The Molyneux sisters serve as executive producers and showrunners. Bob’s Burgers creator Loren Bouchard also is an executive producer. The Great North is a 20th Television Animation production, and animation is produced through Bento Box Entertainment.
On Wednesday, Mar. 6 we get the spring premiere of animated comedy Family Guy (9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT), that’s not a typo, Family Guy is moving to Wednesdays on FOX. This will be the first time in two-decades that FOX’s super juggernaut animated series will be on a new night and time. Note, this will be a continuation of Family Guy’s 22nd season, not the premiere of the show’s 23rd season which isn’t coming until Fall of 2024 and is being incorrectly reported by other outlets of premiering in the Spring of 2024. It should also be worth mentioning that Family Guy is still one of the highest-rated adult animated comedies on broadcast television and routinely helps networks like FXX and Freeform boost their ratings enough to make them matter.
Do we know if Hulu will be the only entity to have the dub, or if it will be on other platforms, too? The show in general is definitely going to be on multiple platforms.
