Fox Renews ‘Krapopolis,’ ‘Grimsburg,’ And ‘Universal Basic Guys’

Following Fox’s unprecedented four-season-apiece renewal of The Simpsons, Family Guy, Bob’s Burgers, and American Dad!, Fox has renewed three more of its animated series: Grimsburg, Krapopolis, and Universal Basic Guys.

Each of the shows is being renewed for one season: Grimsburg is getting a season three, Krapopolis will return for season five, and Universal Basic Guys has been granted a season three. This leaves The Great North, which is currently airing its fifth season, as the only Fox animated series that hasn’t been renewed, though it hasn’t been canceled and remains under consideration.

Fox is clearly bullish on Dan Harmon’s Krapopolis. The fifth season renewal is happening even though only two seasons have aired thus far. The show is produced by Fox Entertainment’s Bento Box Entertainment.

It’s good news for workers at Bento Box, as both Catlan McClelland and Matthew Schlissel’s Grimsburg and Adam and Craig Malamut’s Universal Basic Guys are also produced by Bento Box (Sony Pictures Television also produces the latter show).

The news of the renewals was first reported by Deadline.
