Fox has canceled its animated series The Great North.
After five seasons on air, the network revealed the decision to end the series on Friday. The news comes after Fox revealed their 2025-26 slate in May, with The Great North notably missing from its list of programming.
The Great North hailed from Bob’s Burgers executive producers Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin, while the series creator, Loren Bouchard served as an executive producer of the former show. Season five wrapped in mid-September.
“We’re so grateful for everything Wendy, Lizzie, Loren and the amazing cast and crew put into The Great North,” said Michael Thorn, president of Fox Television Network. “It’s difficult to say goodbye, but we’re thankful for the five hilarious seasons The Great North brought to the iconic Animation Domination lineup.”
The show’s official logline read: “The Great North is an animated comedy series following the Alaskan adventures of the Tobin family, as single dad Beef (Nick Offerman) does his best to keep his 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 wife, Honeybee (Dulcé Sloan), middle brother Ham (Paul Rust) and 10-year-old, going-on-50 little brother Moon (Aparna Nancherla). While their mother is not in the picture, Judy seeks guidance from her boss, Alyson (Megan Mullally), and her imaginary friend, Alanis Morissette (voicing herself), who appears to her in the Northern Lights.”
The Molyneux sisters serve as executive producers and showrunners of The Great North. Minty Lewis penned the script. The Great North is a 20th Television Animation production, and animation is produced through Bento Box Entertainment.
