The series, which is in development and has received a script commitment, is set during an alternate-history version of the Napoleonic Wars, in which dragons not only exist but are piloted like skyships and choose their own masters. This project, which comes from Fox Entertainment and MGM’s Orion Television, will be joined by an animated take on His Majesty’s Dragon, a fantasy novel by Naomi Novik, Deadline can reveal. Last year, Deadline revealed that the network was developing an animated series based on Robert C. There’s also a major push into adult animated drama. “We are still talking to them and I think those shows will be on the air along with our new animation, for the next couple of years, but we’re still in conversations right now about those,” he said. Thorn told Deadline that Fox is in renewal discussions on all three shows with Disney Television Studios’ 20th Television Animation. Family Guy returns for its 21st season and Bob’s Burgers is back for its 13th season in September, while The Simpsons, which has handed a two-season renewal in March 2021, runs through at least 2023.
