The Great North animated series is another work from the bosses of the highly popular Bob’s Burgers. Moreover, Fox has recently debuted its first trailer.
The highly anticipated comedy series, The Great North is another work of creator Loren Bouchard. This is another family-focused comedy, which features the great Alaskan landscapes, including the Northern Lights.
It appears that the upcoming series will resemble Bob’s Burgers in many ways. Bob’s Burgers explores the family of the Belchers. The series lasted for 11 seasons, centering on the Belchers running a burger restaurant in a coastal town. Moreover, the series is well remembered because of its iconic holiday adventures and musical episodes. Now, Fox is working again with showrunners to produce another iconic show.
