Los Angeles, February 28 The American sitcom "Animal Control," starring Joel McHale, has been renewed by Fox for its fifth season.
According to entertainment news outlet The Hollywood Reporter, this is the first live-action scripted show on Fox to be renewed this season.
The show, which also features Michael Rowland, Vella Lovell, Ravi V Patel, and Grace Palmer, revolves around a group of animal control officers who are skilled with the animals they encounter, but less comfortable around other people.
"With the writing, cast, and audience response all reaching new heights, renewing 'Animal Control' was an easy decision," said Michael Thorn, president of Fox Television Network, in a statement. "The series achieved new highs in its fourth season, which directly reflects the show's continued creative growth, outstanding production team, and the incredible Joel McHale as our lead."
The first season of the series, released in 2023, garnered a positive response from the audience, leading to the release of two more seasons in 2024 and 2025. The fourth season of the show was released in December 2025.
