CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Deadline Hollywood reports:



Fox has locked in two of the tentpoles of its Sunday animation block for two more years. The network has renewed flagship Family Guy for Seasons 19 and 20 and the Emmy-winning Bob’s Burgers for a 12th and 13th season. The two long-running series, along with animated stalwart The Simpsons, come from 20th Television.

The Simpsons was picked up for an unprecedented 31st and 32nd seasons in early 2019 as former Fox sibling 20th TV was about to move to Disney as part of a $71.3 billion asset acquisition.

As animation production has been able to continue without a significantly impact by the pandemic, Fox’s Animation Domination block will launch this Sunday, September 27, with new seasons of Bob’s Burgers, Family Guy, The Simpsons and Bless the Harts.
