The animated comedy created by Loren Bouchard and Bento Box Entertainment, Bob’s Burgers, has been recalled by Fox for a fresh installment of two more seasons. The network has handed out a two-season renewal, taking the animated comedy from 20th Century Fox Television into its seventh and eighth seasons.
The renewal also means that Bob’s Burgers along with The Simpsons will likely be paired for the next two broadcast seasons as the latter was also handed out a two-season renewal recently. The news comes as the series, which won an Emmy for outstanding animated comedy in 2014 and was nominated twice this year, prepares for its 100th episode in spring 2016.
“Six seasons in, the Belchers have become one of America’s most beloved TV families, and we are so happy to keep them in the fold for another two seasons,” said Fox Broadcasting Entertainment president David Madden in an announcement regarding the renewal. “Bob’s Burgers is hilarious, warm, smart and inventive – critics love it, and so do fans. Loren, [executive producer] Jim [Dauterive] and the brilliant voice cast continue to surprise us in the best ways, and we look forward to seeing what Bob and the family will cook up in seasons seven and eight.”
