Season four will debut on September 29, 2013 at 8:30pm, but Fox isn’t wasting any time in moving forward to renew Bob’s Burgers. The animated comedy will definitely be sticking around for a fifth season, as just announced by Fox Chairman of Entertainment Kevin Reilly.

Bob’s Burgers is one of those rare finds that just continues to outdo itself, creatively,” stated Reilly. “The show has become a key member of our Sunday ANIMATION DOMINATION family, and we’re looking forward to attracting new fans with another season.”

The decision to go ahead and order up another helping of Bob’s Burgers shouldn’t have been a difficult one for Fox as the series gained in viewers last year and was ranked in the top 10 among men between 18-49 as well as male teens. It also recently earned its second Emmy nomination.

The Plot: Bob’s Burgers follows the ups and downs of Bob (H. Jon Benjamin), who runs Bob’s Burgers with the help of his wife, Linda (John Roberts), and their three kids, Tina (Dan Mintz), Gene (Eugene Mirman) and Louise (Kristen Schaal). Bob has big ideas about burgers, but his family falls short on service. Despite the greasy counters and lousy location, Bob and his family are determined to make every “Grand Re-Re-Re-opening” a success.
