FOX’s Fall 2020 AniDom Lineup Revealed ; Bob’s Burgers Renewed For Season 11 ; Second AniDom Night Coming?

FOX has announced it’s Fall 2020 Animation Domination lineup which will see the return of Bless the Harts to the lineup which will not only wrap the show’s first season which was unexpectedly delayed, but also kick off the show’s second season. During the 2020-2021 season, several FOX series will celebrate major milestones, including FAMILY GUY’s 350th episode and BOB’S BURGERS’ 200th episode. Bob’s Burgers has been renewed for an eleventh season, and FOX is toying with the idea of adding a second-night of AniDom by the time Winter 2021 rolls around to support the premieres of The Great North, Duncanville Season Two, and Housebroken, all of which are in production. AniDom will also have a holiday special produced by Stoopid Buddy Stoodios. The Simpsons and Family Guy are in the middle of two season orders with a bunch of episodes already on tap despite COVID-19.
