The trailer for Fox’s Grimsburg teases that the animated comedy stars Jon Hamm in the role he was born to be animated to play. Hamm, who also executive produces, voices a detective who has a nose for solving crimes which comes in helpful in a town where everyone has a closet full of skeletons.
The voice cast also includes Erinn Hayes as Harmony Flute, Rachel Dratch as Stan Flute, and Alan Tudyk as Dr. Rufis Pentos and Mr. Flesh. Kevin Michael Richardson voices Detective Greg Summers and Gren Chun is Lieutenant John Kang.
The half-hour animated comedy is set to premiere on Sunday, January 7, 2024 following the NFL doubleheader.
“Grimsburg centers on Marvin Flute (Hamm), 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,” reads Fox’s synopsis. “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.”
Series creators Catlan McClelland and Matthew Schlissel co-executive produce, and co-executive producer Chadd Gindin guides the series as showrunner. Hamm, Connie Tavel, and The Jackal Group’s Gail Berman and Hend Baghdady executive produce. The series is produced by Bento Box Entertainment.
