Bill Burr Extends Netflix Agreement With New Animated Comedy

Netflix are currently on an unstoppable roll when it comes to commissioning new content, with their latest announcement seeing their collection of original animated comedy series doubled to 2.

bill_burrNew series F Is for Family will continue the fledgling relationship the streaming service has with stand-up American stand-up comedian Bill Burr, who will be releasing a stand-up special on the site (called I’m Sorry You Feel That Way) on 5 December.

The animated show is noted as being introduced as a 6-episode first season with half-hour episodes, each one based on the comedy of Burr, with a target launch date of some point in 2015, joining the second season of Netflix’s first animated comedy BoJack Horseman in premiering somewhere in that year.

Burr is to provide the voice Frank Murphy, the father in a dysfunctional American family in the 1970s. Also confirmed as voice acting are Laura Dern as wife “Sue”, and Justin Long as oldest son “Kevin”. Working behind-the-scenes (or at least behind-the-voices) on the show will be Vince Vaughn (Dodgeball: The Ultimate Underdog Story) as an executive producer, and production companies Gaumont International Television and Wild West Television.

Burr said of the show: “F Is for Family is the show I’ve always wanted to do. It captures all the characters of my childhood the way I remember it to be. Fortunately Mike Price and everyone at Wild West seem to know the same people I knew growing up. It’s going to be a lot of fun to tell these stories.”

Vaughn noted: “Bill is the funniest, most original voice out there. We’re all excited to be working with Netflix on this project.”

Netflix’s ‘vice-president of original content’ Cindy Holland added: “Bill Burr’s stand-up specials are wildly popular for us worldwide, and we’re looking forward to presenting his at once nostalgic and unflinching take on the family comedy in this original animated series.”

While F Is for Family has a great platform from which to follow BoJack Horseman into success, will its lead character of Frank Murphy be even close to measuring up to the lead character of the only other 70s-themed animated comedy show currently around?
