Disney TV Animation: Bob’s Burgers Stuck At 17 Episodes ; Marvel Series Delayed

The striking unions are causing all sorts of delays and suspensions of production for various animated series and the effects are starting to be realized. For starters, Disney has announced that the second season of Marvel What If? has been delayed to a holiday 2023 premiere and X-Men ’97 isn’t coming until 2024 after originally being touted for a Fall 2023 premiere.

While those interruptions are affecting Disney+, FOX’s Animation Domination may also be feeling the pain in a few months if this strike isn’t resolved soon. That’s because a storyboard animator from Bob’s Burgers has said that she is no longer working due to the fact that 17 episodes of Bob’s Burgers have been written, animated, and largely completed but that’s all until the writers come back to write more episodes.

Fortunately, at least we DO get new episodes of Bob’s Burgers coming back to FOX starting October 1st, check your local listings.
