The series centers on detective Marvin Flute (Hamm), who returns to the town of Grimsburg where he must try to redeem himself with his ex-wife, even if it means hanging out with a son he never bothered to get to know.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Hamm, Gail Berman (<em>Monarch<\/em>, <em>The Addams Family<\/em>, <em>Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em>) and Hend Baghdady (<em>Monarch<\/em>, <em>Golan the Insatiable<\/em>) of The Jackal Group, Connie Tavel (<em>Judging Amy<\/em>) and showrunner Chadd Gindin (<em>The Cleveland Show<\/em>, <em>Santa Clarita Diet<\/em>) will serve as executive producers. McClelland and Schlissel will co-executive produce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am very excited to be involved in the FOX animation universe, a universe I have been actively watching since the early &#8217;90s,\u201d said Hamm. \u201cThe opportunity to get to bring a project like <em>Grimsburg<\/em> to life that is so particular and unique, and to work with its incredibly imaginative and hilarious creators, is one I can\u2019t wait to get started with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we continue to expand our animation brand beyond family comedies, <em>Grimsburg<\/em>\u2019s wildly funny, bizarre and inventive take on the crime genre makes it the perfect next-generation FOX comedy,\u201d added Michael Thorn, president of entertainment at FOX Entertainment. \u201cAnd with Jon Hamm front and center as Marvin Flute, the deeply troubled detective with very eclectic taste and opinions, we believe this may finally be Hamm\u2019s breakout role as a leading man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe mystery is solved, <em>Grimsburg<\/em> is a thoroughly original and comedic take on the small-town crime show trope with a mix of the insatiable Jon Hamm and head-spinning plot twists and turns,\u201d said Berman, chairman and CEO of The Jackal Group. \u201cFOX, Bento Box and <em>Grimsburg<\/em>\u2019s genius creators, Catlan and Matthew, are taking the animation genre to new heights under the wise leadership of our brilliant showrunner Chadd Gindin in this eccentric comedy with a broad appeal.
