Season 2 of Fox comedy Animal Control, with Joel McHale as an animal control officer who prefers animals to humans, hopes to start filming mid-December in Vancouver, assuming the SAG-AFTRA strike is settled by then.
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 debut of all time.
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 last Fall and in January.
