FOX unveiled its chief suspects — or guest stars — set to lend their talents to the first season of Grimsburg, the detective procedural spoof marking the latest addition to the Sunday night Animation Domination lineup. Viewers will get a special preview of the new show, which has already been renewed for a second season, on Sunday, January 7 following the FOX NFL Doubleheader (8-8:30 p.m. ET / 5-5:30 p.m. PT, live to all time zones).
Grimsburg will make its time slot premiere on Sunday, February 18 at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT on FOX.
The series is executive produced by and stars Emmy Award winner Jon Hamm (Mad Men) as Marvin Flute, who may be 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.
The series also features the voices of Erinn Hayes as Harmony Flute, Rachel Dratch as Stan Flute, Alan Tudyk as Dr. Rufis Pentos and Mr. Flesh, Kevin Michael Richardson as Detective Greg Summers and Greg Chun as Lieutenant John Kang.
Newly announced Season 1 guest stars include Rosie Perez as Detective Martina Martinez, Kaniehtiio Horn as Wynona Whitecloud, Wendi McLendon-Covey as Chief Stamos, Jaime Camil as Mayor Dilquez, Christina Hendricks as Anna, Amy Sedaris as Lil’ Betsy and Patton Oswalt as Slasher.
Grimsburg is produced by FOX Entertainment’s Emmy-winning animation studio, Bento Box Entertainment. The program is fully owned by FOX Entertainment. Chadd Gindin is executive producer and showrunner. Jon Hamm, Gail Berman, Hend Baghdady and Connie Tavel are executive producers. Catlan McClelland and Matthew Schlissel created the series and serve as co-executive producers.
