Animated series 'The Great North' ends after five seasons

Los Angeles, Oct 4 (UNI) The animated comedy series "The Great North" has drawn to a close after five acclaimed seasons, marking the end of a distinctive chapter in contemporary television animation.
The decision was confirmed following Fox's announcement of its 2025-26 programming slate, in which the show was notably absent.
"The Great North", created by Loren Bouchard and executive produced by Bob's Burgers creators Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin, concluded its fifth season in mid-September, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
The show's official logline read: "The Great North is an animated comedy series following the Alaskan adventures of the Tobin family, as single dad Beef (Nick Offerman) does his best to keep his bunch of kids close – especially his only daughter, Judy (Jenny Slate), whose artistic dreams lead her away from the family fishing boat and into the glamorous world of the local mall.
"Rounding out the family are Judy's older brother, Wolf (Will Forte), and his wife, Honeybee (Dulcé Sloan), middle brother Ham (Paul Rust) and 10-year-old, going-on-50 little brother Moon (Aparna Nancherla). While their mother is not in the picture, Judy seeks guidance from her boss, Alyson (Megan Mullally), and her imaginary friend, Alanis Morissette (voicing herself), who appears to her in the Northern Lights."
"We're so grateful for everything Wendy, Lizzie, Loren and the amazing cast and crew put into The Great North," said Michael Thorn, president of Fox Television Network. "It's difficult to say goodbye, but we're thankful for the five hilarious seasons The Great North brought to the iconic Animation Domination lineup."
Produced by 20th Television Animation with animation handled by Bento Box Entertainment, "The Great North" was celebrated for its blend of heart, humour and distinctly Alaskan charm. Wendy and Lizzie Molyneux served as showrunners and executive producers, while Minty Lewis contributed as a principal writer throughout the show's tenure. UNI NST SSP
