The Season 23 premiere of Family Guy will parody Top Gun, which will chronicle Peter/Maverick getting together with Lois/Charlie, the tragic death of Joe/Goose, and Peter/Maverick's blooming relationship with Chris/Rooster. Additionally, this season, Peter runs into Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at a brewery tour, Lois becomes a stand-up comedian and Meg starts dating a chicken she meets on a reality dating show.

Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin serve as executive producers and showrunners, while Steve Callaghan, Tom Devanney, Danny Smith, Kara Vallow, Mark Hentemann, Patrick Meighan and Alex Carter are executive producers.
On the Season Two premiere of Grimsburg, starring and executive produced by Jon Hamm (Fargo, Mad Men), Harmony (Erinn Hayes) pushes Flute (Hamm) to move out, resulting in him moving into a house haunted by a doting housewife. Things soon go awry when Flute invites everyone for an adult party at his house, and Flute's disregard of the ghost prompts her to threaten their lives in the all-new "Haunted Housewife" episode of Grimsburg. Additionally, Martin Short joins the cast for Season Two in the recurring role of Otis Volcanowitz. Otis is Grimsburg's newest detective and also its youngest. Fortunately, there's nothing the mean streets of this town can throw at him that's scarier than what he's seen in the third-grade cubbies. Grimsburg is produced by FOX Entertainment's Emmy-winning animation studio, Bento Box Entertainment. The program is owned by FOX Entertainment. Catlan McClelland and Matthew Schlissel created the series and serve as Executive Producers alongside Showrunner Chadd Gindin. Jon Hamm serves as Executive Producer alongside Gail Berman and Hend Baghdady of The Jackal Group and Connie Tavel.
On the Season Five premiere of The Great North, Wolf finally gets cast on the local Alaskan survival show Dropped Off To Die, but when he's out early, his shame leads him to sneak home and hide on the Tobin property instead in "The Prince of Hides Adventure" episode of The Great North. Additionally this season, Ham starts performing at Yet-E-Cheddar's and develops a strange relationship with an animatronic Yeti Van Halen, that puts his relationship with Crispin in jeopardy in the all-new "Bots On The Side Adventure" episode. And just when Honeybee thinks she's conquered every danger in Alaska, a new one pushes her to the limit in a horror-inspired episode in the all-new "Silence Of The Dams Adventure" episode. The series was created and written by Bob's Burgers executive producers Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin, as well as writer Minty Lewis (Regular Show).
