Bob’s Burgers Creator Breaks Silence on the Show’s Massive Renewal

by

Bob’s Burgers” has been given an extension of four additional seasons by Fox, alongside several other adult animated series within the network. The creator has expressed their feelings about securing such a large portion of the show’s future. Over almost two decades since its initial debut, “Bob’s Burgers” has become a cornerstone in Fox’s Animation Domination block. Recently, it was renewed as part of an extensive renewal deal that included “The Simpsons,” “Family Guy,” and the revival of “American Dad!” each receiving four more seasons before their upcoming returns this Fall.

To The Hollywood Reporter, series mastermind Loren Bouchard spoke candidly about the significant renewal they received. With a background in animated productions such as Home Movies, Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil, and others, Bob’s Burgers marks Bouchard’s longest-running endeavor to date. Reflecting on extending the series for four additional seasons, Bouchard expressed a mix of emotions as the team had often felt like they were treading water, believing they were “on the edge.

Bob’s Burgers Creator Reacts to New Seasons

In simpler terms, Bouchard expressed that while having a four-season pickup is nice, they’ve been fortunate for quite some time. Initially, their show wasn’t successful, and they were on the verge of cancellation. They treated each moment as if it could be their last, just like putting effort into every fart during a crisis (he used an analogy comparing the importance of the right placement to the importance of placing a fart correctly in a crisis). However, even though they are moving forward, Bouchard still cherishes the days when they were creating episodes while struggling for survival. It’s exciting and reminds him of fighting fires or some other high-stress situation.

The animated series “Bob’s Burgers” is set to hit a significant milestone with its 300th episode during Season 16, returning later this Fall. Despite finishing Season 15 with Fox earlier in the summer, the show is gearing up for another run featuring one of its most anticipated episodes yet. In this upcoming installment, creator Loren Bouchard promises to delve into some key moments in the Belchers’ lives, such as Tina’s birth and the opening of their restaurant.

What’s Next for Bob’s Burgers Season 16?

In the upcoming Fall 2025 season, Fox will air Season 16 of “Bob’s Burgers” on Sunday, September 28th at 9:30PM ET. This broadcast is part of the Animation Domination block and will be shown concurrently with new episodes of “The Simpsons,” “Universal Basic Guys,” and “Krapopolis.” Hints about the premiere episode have been given during San Diego Comic-Con 2025, as series creator Dan Bouchard revealed it will delve into two timelines. According to Bouchard, in the present day, Bob is stressed about whether or not to raise prices, but this predicament sends the storyline into a series of flashbacks to when Bob and Linda first opened their restaurant.

During the recent panel discussion, it was hinted that the upcoming season of Bob’s Burgers will include a new Halloween special where Teddy gets a job at the store next door, starring Jamie Demetriou from Fleabag, and a Christmas special set in a Christmas village. However, more information about the season is still kept under wraps for now. For those who want to revisit all seasons of Bob’s Burgers, they can stream it on Hulu.
