'R' Is For Renewed: Netflix Sets 'F Is for Family' Season 3
Looks like we'll be spending a little more time getting to know The Murphys as Netflix has renewed their animated comedy series F Is For Family for a third season. The series was created by Michael Price (The Simpsons) and Bill Burr (Breaking Bad), who tweeted the news of the renewal on Wednesday saying, "Really happy to announce there will be a season 3 of FIFF. Thanks to everyone for watching! @netflix #FIsForFamily #gaumontTV"
F Is For Family follows the day-to-day adventures of The Murphys, an Irish-American family living in the 1970's during a time when "political incorrectness" ruled the day. Burr voices family patriarch Frank, a disillusioned, short-tempered, Korean War veteran and father of three. The remaining cast includes: Laura Dern (Wild at Heart) as Sue, housewife and Plast-a-Ware saleswoman; Justin Long (Pineapple Express) as Kevin, older son and juvenile delinquent with potential; Debi Derryberry (voice, Sailor Moon Crystal) as Maureen, youngest daughter and "princess" who's smart enough to hide her dark side; Haley Reinhart (American Idol) as Bill, youngest son who is skinny, shy and often bullied; and Sam Rockwell (Moon) as Vic, Frank's wealthy, womanizing neighbor.
Burr also executive produces the series with Vince Vaughn, Peter Billingsley and Price, who also serves as showrunner. Wild West Television's Michael Lagnese and Victoria Vaughn are co-executive producers on the series. F Is For Family marks the latest collaboration between Netflix and Burr, with the streaming service running four of Burr's most recent stand-up specials including I'm Sorry You Feel That Way (which was released in January).
