Major Fox Animated Series Seemingly Ending After 5 Years (Without Renewal Hopes)

by

Fox’s popular animated shows are returning this fall, but one long-running series may be ending after five seasons as it hasn’t been renewed yet. Fox has been investing more in adult animation recently, extending hits like *The Simpsons*, *Bob’s Burgers*, and *Family Guy* for four more seasons each. Several other animated shows on Fox have also been renewed for multiple seasons.

Unlike other popular animated shows on Fox, *The Great North* hasn’t been renewed for another season. While those other shows will continue into next year, *The Great North* is wrapping up its fifth season tonight with its final two episodes. It appears the show will conclude after five seasons and 97 episodes, though there’s still a small chance it could be renewed.

The Great North Will Seemingly End After Five Seasons and 97 Episodes

Fox’s popular animation lineup, Animation Domination, returns with new episodes starting September 28th for the Fall 2025 season. Expect fresh installments of *The Simpsons*, *Bob’s Burgers*, *Universal Basic Guys*, and *Krapopolis*. Good news for fans: *The Simpsons*, *Bob’s Burgers*, *Family Guy*, and *American Dad!* have all been renewed for four more seasons. *Krapopolis* is confirmed through Season 5, and *Universal Basic Guys* and *Grimsburg* are getting Season 3 renewals even before their current seasons have aired.

As *The Great North* gets closer to its Season 5 finale – the last two episodes are dropping this summer as part of a schedule change – we haven’t heard anything about a possible Season 6. What’s really getting fans worried is a recent post on the show’s Instagram. It urges people to watch *all* 97 episodes, and even pleads with viewers to do so *before* it’s over. Honestly, everything suggests this season will be the show’s last.

What Happens to The Great North Now?

If the animated series *The Great North* finishes after its fifth season, that’s a significant achievement for any show on Fox. While it didn’t quite reach the longevity of hits like *The Simpsons* or *Bob’s Burgers*, it still produced a substantial number of episodes. It lasted much longer than many other animated series that didn’t perform as well, such as *Housebroken*, which shows Fox is willing to give its animated shows enough time to connect with an audience.

You can now watch all episodes of *The Great North* on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+. While there’s a possibility the show could be renewed for more episodes later, it seems likely that the two final episodes, airing on Sunday, September 14th, will be the last, especially considering other shows in the Animation Domination lineup have already been renewed.
