Fox will utilize its NFL doubleheader on Sunday, January 7, to help launch the network’s latest animated comedy, “Grimsburg.” The show, starring Jon Hamm (who also executive produces), will air immediately following the second game in all time zones.
The scheduling strategy was set to be announced on Saturday at the New York Comic-Con, where Fox is holding panels for both “Grimsburg” and its most recent new animated comedy, the Dan Harmon-created “Krapopolis.” At the event, “Grimsburg” showrunner Chadd Gindin planned to discuss his new series and introduce an early screening of the show’s first episode.
Both “Grimsburg” and “Krapopolis” are produced by Bento Box and are wholly owned by Fox. “Grimsburg” has already been given a Season 2 renewal (while “Krapopolis” was picked up for three seasons so far).

Wondering whether there will be more seasons or episodes of the Max animated series “Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake”? So is executive producer Adam Muto. “It’s in discussion,” Muto told Variety last week at the Scad Animation Fest in Atlanta. “But the person who greenlit the first season is no longer at Max.”
The future of “Fionna and Cake,” and the “Adventure Time” franchise as a whole, is still in the brainstorming phase, Muto said. “My hope is that this series did well enough that they feel like they can invest in future seasons,” he said. “What shape that takes, if that’s a ‘Fionna & Cake’ Season 2 or it’s more of an anthology kind of approach and we focus on another character, is still kind of up in the air… There’s a running list of what we think could work as a series, what we think could...
