Popular Fox Comedy Renewed for Season 5
---------------------------------------
One of Fox's most popular and longest-running comedies is getting
another season, with the company confirming that Season 5 of the
show was in the works.

What Fox comedy has been renewed for a fifth season?
Animal Control, the workplace comedy centering around a group of
local animal control workers and stars Joel McHale, will be back
for a fifth season. Deadline reports that the show has been
considered a "shoo-in" for renewal due to not only its success,
but the fact that it is owned, produced, and distributed by Fox
itself.

The show has also been a massive success in the world of
streaming. According to Deadline's report, Animal Control's time
on Netflix have been super successful. The first three seasons of
the show have garnered over 1 billion minutes watched, making it
the streamer's top comedy series in total viewers and third in
total minutes watched, behind only Young Sheldon and Seinfeld.

"With the writing, ensemble, and audience response all landing at
new levels, renewing Animal Control was an easy decision," said
Michael Thorn, President of Fox Television Network. "The series
launched to new highs in its fourth season, which is a direct
reflection of the show's continued creative growth, outstanding
producing team, and the incredible Joel McHale as our lead."

Animal Control was created by Bob Fisher, Rob Greenberg, and Dan
Sterling. Alongside McHale, the show also stars Vella Lovell,
Michael Rowland, Ravi V. Patel, and Grace Palmer. The fourth
season of the show is currently airing on Fox, with three episodes
remaining.
