Animated show Grimsburg debuts on Fox Sunday, January 7, following an NFL doubleheader. The show, about a detective who returns to his hometown to solve a couple of mysteries that have always eluded him, including his ex-wife and son, has some big names attached. Jon Hamm voices Detective Martin Flute and is an executive producer, and Gail Berman, former president of Fox Entertainment and Paramount Pictures, is an exec producer too.
Berman shared how the Grimsburg script landed on her desk, and grabbed her in a way a script had not since her days at Fox back in the 2000s. She mentioned Malcolm in the Middle as the last show script to land with that kind of thud. “It was an unusual situation … where something came across the desk that was just kind of undeniable,” she said, “And this was like that.”
