Created, written, and executive-produced by Bob’s Burgers’s Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin, as well as Minty Lewis, Fox’s new animated series, The Great North, follows the bustling Tobin clan, a fishing family in middle-of-nowhere Lone Moose, Alaska. From the animation style to the spontaneous musical numbers to the presence of a young child devoted to a piece of animal-themed clothing, the influence of Bob’s Burgers is obvious, but The Great North’s considerable charm and humanism quickly help the series carve out a space of its own.
After previewing two episodes of The Great North in January, the series makes its official premiere this Sunday, February 14th, with the brand new episode, “Avocado Barter Adventure,” in which Wolf (Will Forte) attempts to find the perfect six-month anniversary gift for his fiancé, Honeybee (Dulcé Sloan). The series also stars Nick Offerman, Jenny Slate, Paul Rust, Aparna Nancherla, and Megan Mullally.
