Get ready for more hilarious adventures with Animal Control, as Fox renews this beloved workplace comedy for a fifth season! But here's the twist: this show isn't just about animals; it's a witty exploration of human complexities.
Fox, the proud owner and producer of Animal Control, has been raking in the cash with this series. It's a hit on Fox, Hulu, and internationally, and recently, it found a new home on Netflix. The numbers speak for themselves: Animal Control's first three seasons on Netflix have racked up over a billion minutes watched, making it the platform's top acquired comedy series in terms of viewers and minutes watched, just behind Young Sheldon and Seinfeld.
Fox's support for Animal Control is evident. They gave the Season 4 premiere an NFL football lead-in, a rare honor. Michael Thorn, President of Fox Television Network, said, "Renewing Animal Control was an easy decision. The series launched to new heights in its fourth season, reflecting its creative growth, outstanding producing team, and the brilliant Joel McHale as our lead."
The fourth season premiere was a record-breaker, becoming the first broadcast comedy in over 15 years to have a fourth season premiere outperform all three previous season premieres. However, the NFL lead-in for the premiere makes it an outlier, and the series has since returned to its usual viewership levels.
Animal Control is executive produced by a talented team, including Bob Fisher, Rob Greenberg, Dan Sterling, showrunner Tad Quill, and the star himself, Joel McHale. The show follows a group of Animal Control workers whose lives are turned upside down by the simple yet unpredictable nature of humans.
And this is the part most people miss: Animal Control is more than just a comedy about animals. It's a clever commentary on human behavior and the complexities of our world. So, get ready for more laughs and thought-provoking moments as Animal Control returns for Season 5!
