With such a distinct, soothing tone, it’s no wonder Jon Hamm has gotten so much voice work. Now, he’s set to get his own starring role in an animated series called Grimsburg, playing a detective who juggles the struggles of his job and his home life.
In Grimsburg, Jon Hamm plays Martin Flute (looking very much like Hopper from Stranger Things), “maybe 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.”
Grimsburg is set to premiere during a strong slot, following a doubleheader of NFL games on Fox on January 7th. The supporting cast of...

After three years of anticipation and two renewals for extra seasons before audiences even got to see the show, Dan Harmon’s adult animated comedy “Krapopolis” finally arrived with two episodes on Fox on Sunday night, bringing a solid audience with it.
An average 3.6 million viewers tuned in to the first episode of “Krapopolis” on Sunday night, according to Live + Same Day data from Nielsen. Titled “All Hail the Goddess of Likability!,” the premiere scored an impressive 1.2 rating among adults aged 18-49.
As is typical, viewership dropped with Episode 2 of “Krapopolis,” which aired directly afterwards. Titled “The Stuperbowl,” the episode drew 1.8 million viewers on average, and a 0.5 among adults 18-49.

It feels like we’ve been hearing about Krapopolis since the days of ancient Greece, doesn’t it? Fox first ordered the animated comedy from Dan Harmon more than three years ago, and after multiple delays, it’s now quite possibly the only TV show ever to have been renewed for three seasons before even airing a single episode. So now that it’s finally arrived, was it worth the wait? Actually, to my pleasant surprise, it was. Krapopolis — debuting this Sunday, Sept. 24 at 8/7c; I’ve seen the first three episodes — is a very worthy occupant of Fox’s vaunted Sunday night animation block,...

In the eight years since “Mad Men” aired its final episode and Jon Hamm was awarded his only Primetime Emmy as the series’ star, the actor has gone unnoticed by the TV academy despite having frequently flexed both his dramatic and comedic performing skills on more than two dozen programs. Given the 12-time acting nominee’s level of productivity, there is practically no way this drought will last forever, especially considering the banner year he is about to have. Before starting his stint as a fifth season regular on the FX anthology series “Fargo,” Hamm will play a supporting role on Apple TV+’s “The Morning Show” that could end up putting him in the Emmys record book.
Hamm has joined the star-studded cast of “The Morning Show” for its third season, which is set to begin streaming in mid-September. Not much is yet known about his new character, Paul Marks,...

The series, which is slated to debut on the broadcaster in 2023, will see Hamm play Marvin Flute, maybe the greatest detective ever to catch a cannibal clown or correctly identify a mid-century modern armoire.

“Prodigal Son” has been canceled at Fox after two seasons, TheWrap has learned.

Network has also decided against “Blood Relative” pilot
Fox has decided not to move forward with two drama pilots, “Blood Relative” and an untitled drama that was to follow three kids as they tried to make a shot-for-shot remake of Steven Spielberg’s “The Goonies.”
The network was said to be happy with both but ultimately decided to give series orders to “Monarch” and “The Cleaning Lady” instead, a person with knowledge told TheWrap.

Musical series is from Melissa London Hilfers
Fox has handed out a straight to series order for country music drama “Monarch.”
The series is from creator Melissa London Hilfers. Michael Rauch will serve as showrunner. Gail Berman and Hend Baghdady of The Jackal Group will executive produce alongside country music manager Jason Owen.
Here is the logline for “Monach:” “Monarch” is a Texas-sized, multigenerational musical drama about America’s first family of country music. The Romans are fiercely talented, but while their name is synonymous with honesty, the very foundation of their success is a lie. When their reign as country royalty is put in jeopardy, Nicky Roman, the heir to the crown, already battling an industry stacked against her, will stop at nothing to protect her family’s legacy.
Owen’s client roster includes Kacey Musgraves, Faith Hill, Dan + Shay, Little Big Town, Kelsea Ballerini, Midland, as well...

Liz Heldens-created series is described as “an innovative show-within-a-show”
After a long delay due to the coronavirus pandemic, Fox has ordered the Scott Foley-starring dramedy pilot “The Big Leap” to series, the broadcast network revealed Wednesday.
Created by “Deception” mastermind and “Friday Night Lights” alum Liz Heldens, the “big-hearted, rowdy dramedy” follows “a group of diverse, down-on-their-luck characters attempting to change their lives by participating in a potentially life-ruining reality dance show that builds to a live production of Swan Lake. What this group of underdogs lack in dance training, they make up for with their edge, wit and desire to reimagine an iconic story to fit their own mold.”

Bless the Harts will not be back for a third season.
Fox has canceled the animated comedy from creator Emily Spivey. The series, a co-production between Disney’s 20th Television and Fox Entertainment, will wrap its second and final season in May on the independent broadcast network.
The adult animated comedy, featuring a voice cast that includes Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Jillian Bell, Ike Barinholtz and Kumail Nanjiani, has been a lackluster performer in its second season as part of Fox’s Sunday night block. Its most recent original episode drew 56,000 total same-day viewers, a series low.

Longtime 20th animation exec Marci Proietto has been tapped to lead Disney Television Studios’ new production unit, 20th Television Animation, which currently has 11 series in production.
Under Proietto’s leadership as executive vice president of the unit, 20th Television Animation will continue to manage and produce the company’s long-running series, including “Family Guy,” “American Dad,” “Bob’s Burgers” and “The Simpsons,” as well as Apple TV Plus’ “Central Park,” Hulu’s “Solar Opposites” and the streamer’s recently ordered “Koala Man.”
Through the new structure, those shows will no longer fall under 20th Television’s purview. Similar to the newly formed Walt Disney Television Alternative led by Rob Mills, Proietto and her new production unit will report to Walt Disney Television president of entertainment Craig Hunegs.
“This studio is literally the only place I’ve ever worked, and I’ve been fortunate to have a front row seat to the...

Disney Television Studios is doubling down on adult animation with the launch of a new division devoted to the genre and has tapped 20th Century Television veteran Marci Proietto to run it.
The company has launched 20th Television Animation, a new unit to develop and produce animated series and house its library of existing hits such as The Simpsons and Family Guy.
The move means that these legacy shows, which also include American Dad and Bob’s Burgers, will no longer be produced by 20th Television with all animated programming coming out of the new Proietto-led unit.
It is a similar move to the one made to launch Walt Disney Television Alternative, a new non-scripted production unit run by Rob Mills.
While 20th Television and ABC Signature report to Dana Walden, chairman of entertainment for Walt Disney Television, the alternative studio and this new animation unit will report to Walt Disney...

20th Television has launched a new animation production unit led by longtime animation exec Marci Proietto, the studio announced Monday.
Proietto will serve as executive vice president of 20th Television Animation, overseeing all animated series, including the studio’s 11 current series and other projects in development. She will report to Walt Disney Television’s president of entertainment, Craig Hunegs.
The move follows a similar decision by Walt Disney Television last month to spin off alternative series into a separate production unit led by ABC’s Rob Mills.
“Many of the greatest family sitcoms on television – ‘The Simpsons,’ ‘Family Guy,’ ‘Bob’s Burgers,’ ‘Solar Opposites,’ ‘Central Park,’ ‘The Great North’ and the list goes on – come from the genius creators 20th Television Animation has assembled and nurtured over the past two decades,” Hunegs said in a statement. “Marci has been a part of all of these phenomenal successes. She is an extraordinary...
