‘Bob’s Burgers’ Shifts to a Midseason Premiere for Season 17
Fox will hold the Emmy-winning animated series until early 2027 after scheduling bottlenecks left only five spring episodes, executives said.
- For the first time in 14 years, Fox will hold Bob's Burgers Season 17 premiere until midseason, debuting early in 2027 rather than the traditional fall 2026 lineup.
- Scheduling bottlenecks at Fox created a four-month hiatus during Season 16, leaving only five episodes for spring; the midseason premiere aims to avoid another lengthy gap for the Belcher family.
- The last midseason premiere occurred in 2012 with Season 2, Episode 1, The Belchies, featuring voice actors Jon Benjamin, John Roberts, Dan Mintz, Eugene Mirman, Kristen Schaal, and Larry Murphy.
- Alongside American Dad, Family Guy, and Krapopolis, the Emmy-winning series will make its Season premiere, aligning with other Fox animated programs for a consistent broadcast strategy.
- 20th Television head Marci Proietto confirmed a historic four-season order, extending Bob's Burgers through the 2028-2029 schedule and ensuring the Belcher family returns for additional seasons.
