FOX ENTERTAINMENT ORDERS SECOND SEASON OF UPCOMING ANIMATED SERIES “THE GREAT NORTH”

In advance of its series premiere, FOX Entertainment has renewed the all-new animated comedy THE GREAT NORTH, for a second season. The series comes from BOB’S BURGERS creator Loren Bouchard, and is created, written and executive-produced by BOB’S BURGERS writers and executive producers Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin and writer Minty Lewis (“Regular Show”).

THE GREAT NORTH follows the Alaskan adventures of the Tobin family, as a single dad, BEEF (Nick Offerman), does his best to keep his weird 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. Rounding out the family are Judy’s older brother, WOLF, (Will Forte) and his fiancé, HONEYBEE (Dulcé Sloan), her middle brother, HAM (Paul Rust), and ten-year-old-going-on-fifty little brother, MOON (Aparna Nancherla). While their mother is not in the picture, Judy seeks guidance from her new boss, ALYSON (Megan Mullally), and her imaginary friend, ALANIS MORISSETTE (guest-voicing as herself), who appears to her in the Northern Lights. Bento Box Entertainment serves as the animation studio on THE GREAT NORTH.

THE GREAT NORTH is a 20th Century Fox Television production. The series is created and written by Wendy Molyneux, Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin and Minty Lewis, who also serve as showrunners and executive producers. BOB’S BURGERS creator Loren Bouchard also serves as executive producer. Animation is produced through Bento Box Entertainment.

Our Take

WOW! This must be a solid series if we’re already getting a SECOND season of The Great North before the first season even airs! With Bob’s Burgers still hot and a second season of Central Park for Apple TV+ already in production, Loren Bouchard is cooking more winners than Bob Belcher.
