Fox has set a premiere date for the animated series Grimsburg, which is led by Emmy and Golden Globe-winning Mad Men alum Jon Hamm, with TVLine confirming that the show will debut on Sunday, January 7, after that night’s NFL doubleheader in all timezones.
What’s Grimsburg About?
The series centers around Grimsburg “who may be the greatest detective ever to catch a cannibal clown and correctly identify a mid-century modern armoire. But there’s one mystery he still can’t crack – himself. To do that he must return to Grimsburg, a town where everyone has a secret or three, and redeem himself in the eyes of his fellow detectives, his ferocious ex-wife, and his lovably unstable son,” per the official description.
Along with Hamm in the lead role, Grimsburg also stars Erinn Hayes as Harmony Flute, Rachel Dratch as Stan Flute, Alan Tudyk as Dr. Rufis Pentos/Mr. Flesh, Kevin Michael Richardson as Det. Greg Summers, and Greg Chun Lt. John Kang.
Grimsburg, which is already renewed for season 2, is produced by FOX Entertainment’s Emmy-winning animation studio, Bento Box Entertainment. The program is fully owned by FOX Entertainment. Catlan McClelland and Matthew Schlissel created the series and serves as co-executive producers alongside showrunner Chadd Gindin. Jon Hamm serves as executive producer alongside Gail Berman and Hend Baghdady of The Jackal Group and Connie Tavel.
