Joel McHale’s “Animal Control” renewed for a second season

The Joel McHale comedy Animal Control on Fox is coming back for a second season.

The series – which was created by Bob Fisher, Rob Greenberg and Dan Sterling – follows “a group of local Animal Control workers whose lives are complicated by the fact that animals are simple, but humans are not.”

Rounding out the cast with McHale is Vella Lovell, Michael Rowland, Ravi V. Patel and Grace Palmer.

“We are thrilled our viewers have responded to Animal Control as much as we did,” Fox Entertainment president of scripted programming Michael Thorn said. “The incredibly talented ensemble cast, led by Joel McHale, along with our creative team, Bob Fisher, Rob Greenberg, Dan Sterling and Tad Quill — not to mention a menagerie of wild animal method actors — have delivered a hilarious series that is sharp, witty, and warm, week after week.”
