Apple TV Plus Renews Musical Comedy Series “Central Park” for Season 3

March 10, 2021
News
apple tv plus, central park, loren bouchard

Very quietly throughout this time in lockdown, Loren Bouchard has been building his animated comedy empire. Bob’s Burgers place in the pantheon of beloved adult animated series is more than secure while currently airing its 11th season. The Great North, which he EPs and is co-created by the Molyneux Sisters (with whom Bouchard has dutifully had among his top ranks at Bob’s Burgers) is getting its footing quite nicely as another feel good, yet delightfully and wonderfully strange family comedy.

Now, Central Park, which Bouchard co-created with Josh Gad and Nora Smith, is just about to premiere its second season on Apple’s exclusive streaming service, Apple TV Plus and, officially as of today, has been tapped for a third season. As Loren calculated in a tweet, that renewal equals almost 30 new episodes of the sensational community focused, edu-taining, meta, musical comedy and well over a 100 new songs.

Do yourself a favor if you need a pick me up (even if you’re not a “musicals” person) and give Central Park a shot in your quarantine binge watch queue.

You’ll be able to get into the second season of Central Park and sing along with dozens of songs starting Fri. Jun. 25th.

Seasons 2 and 3 of Central Park mean 29 more episodes, and something like 115 new songs. 115! The people who make this show dazzle me with their talent and ambition and will. Apple and 20th have shown their will too. I’m honored to be a part of something with this much chutzpah.

Bob’s Burgers is on the verge of crossing 200 episodes of being one of the most charming, wholesome (but not annoyingly wholesome) families on TV (along with so many great pun-based business names and inspired, tiny songs). On their tenth season, they continue to be a true joy to watch and something pretty calming in these dark, tumultuous times.

Variety is hosting a special, exclusive Q&A with the cast and creators of Bob’s Burgers including Loren Bouchard, Nora Smith, H. Jon Benjamin, John Roberts, Kristen Schaal, Eugene Mirman, Dan Mintz and Larry Murphy to honor crossing the 200th episode mark. Together, they’ll chat about their favorite moments and some insider, behind-the-scenes stories that should be a great joy for all of the Bob’s Burgers loyal.

You’ll be able to join in and watch this live-stream panel discussion at the Variety Streaming Room on Thurs. Nov. 12th at 1PM PT/4PM ET.

It would seem that the triumvirate animation block on Fox that includes The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Bob’s Burgers will be intact for a long time to come. Announced today, the Emmy award winning award series will be getting its 11th season.

Well, actually, Loren Bouchard and company have been on work on the 11th season already. That has us curious as to whether they’ll have any episodes dealing with the pandemic and/or perhaps all of this will be over by the time 11th season premieres.

In any case, a much deserved congratulations to Bob’s Burgers.

Apple TV+ Gets a Bit of That Bob’s Burgers Magic with Trailer for Loren Bouchard’s Central Park

Unlike Disney+, Apple TV+ hasn’t exactly gotten to ride the coattails of something like The Mandalorian. Perhaps, this super charming musical animated series from beloved Bob’s Burgers creator Loren Bouchard might be the thing to put Apple TV+ on the map.

There are clever songs with animated dance numbers, the comfort and familiarity of Bouchard’s aesthetics from Bob’s Burgers, and even Stanley Tucci voicing an evil 1%-er in the vein of a Captain Planet villain dead set on paving over Central Park to build more NYC high rises. See all of this for yourself in the newly unveiled trailer.

Certainly, we’re very on board to see what Central Park is all about. We’ll look forward to May 29th when it premieres on Apple TV+.

Apple Scores Animated Musical Comedy “Central Park” From Loren Bouchard, Nora Smith, and Josh Gad

It has Gad and both a Bob’s Burgers team of Bob’s Burgers creator Loren Bouchard and Bob’s Burgers EP Nora Smith. The cast will includes the likes of Kristen Bell, Stanley Tucci, Josh Gad, Titus Burgess, Daveed Diggs, Leslie Odom Jr., and Kathryn Hahn.

In addition to Raphael Bob-Waksberg’s upcoming Amazon series Undone, it would seem as though Netflix’s line-up of critically acclaimed animated series might finally have some formidable competition this year and the next.
