Twenty-four hours after what can best be described as "Cancel Friday," — where a solid number of series were cancelled by several networks — comes a little positive (thought not surprising) news on the animation front: Fox has renewed Seth MacFarlane's Family Guy for a 16th season (also the show's 20th anniversary) and Loren Bouchard's Bob's Burgers has been renewed for a ninth season.

Family Guy's current season featured a special limited commercial interruption episode and the series' 300th episode, averaging 2.55 million total live viewers (1.15 in the Adult 18-49 demo); when adjusted for the Live+7 numbers, the series averages 10.6 multi-platform viewers (1.8 in the Adult 18-49 demo).

Coming off its 2017 Emmy win for Best Animated Series, Bob's Burgers averaged 2.37 million total live viewers (1.08 rating in the Adult 18-49 demo); when adjusted for the Live+7 numbers, the series averages 8.1 million total viewers (1.4 in the Adult 18-49 demo).

Produced by 20th Century Fox Television, Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin serve as showrunners and executive producers; with Steve Callaghan, Danny Smith and Kara Vallow are serving as executive producers. Fox previously announced the series renewal for MacFarlane's other series, The Orville.
