BC-filmed Fox comedy Animal Control, with Joel McHale as an animal control officer, is renewed for season 3 before season 2 premieres via Deadline: Hollywood.
Season 2 has been filming in Vancouver as Seattle since mid-December and premieres March 6th on Fox, paired with Family Guy in a new Wednesday night comedy block after The Masked Singer.
Animal Control follows a group of Seattle Animal Control workers whose lives are complicated by the fact that animals are simple, but humans are not.
Thanks to a Super Bowl ad and a baby cougar licking Joel McHale’s face, Animal Control was Fox’s most-streamed scripted series debut of all time last year.
Fox Entertainment Global has since sold the comedy to Canada’s CBC, Australia’s Foxtel, New Zealand’s TVNZ and the UK’s Channel 4.
Animal Control season one filmed in Vancouver as Seattle in the Fall of 2022 and in January 2023.
