After months of speculation and a fifth season that ended in September 2025, Fox dropped the axe on “The Great North” just two weeks post-finale. The network did not include the show in its 2025-26 renewal announcements, and when the news became official, Fox Television Network President Michael Thorn thanked creators Wendy Molyneux, Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin, Loren Bouchard, and the entire cast for five hilarious seasons that enriched Animation Dominationโ€™s Sunday lineup.

Fans and animation insiders were caught off guard by the move, especially as director Aimee Steinberger responded on social media that she was โ€œpretty sadโ€ but remained hopeful for a possible revival on another platformโ€”a fate other animated comedies have achieved in the streaming age.

Is There Any Hope for The Great North Season 6?

While Fox has confirmed the show won’t return for a sixth season, some optimism persists among fans and creators, mainly due to streaming platformsโ€™ track record of reviving canceled animated series. As of October 2025, there are no announced plans for a continuation or movie, and no official rescue effort in progress.

The cancellation came after the showโ€™s fifth and final run wrapped up, and it was conspicuously absent from Foxโ€™s recent multi-year renewal deals for long-running animated hits. Still, past resurrections (think “Family Guy”, “Futurama”) keep the hopes very much alive, even if no formal talks have surfaced yet.

The series ended on a high note with the Tobin familyโ€™s quirky Alaskan adventures, and for now, their story will remain complete at five seasons.

Big Takeaways for “Fox’s The Great North Cancelled”

  • Foxโ€™s cancellation is final: Season 5 concludes the Tobin family saga, and no season 6 is planned.

  • Creators and fans are grateful but disappointed, calling the move a major misstep for the network.

  • Thereโ€™s hope for a revival on a streaming service, though nothing is set for now.

  • “The Great North” joins a growing list of animated favorites ended before their time, but the legacy and loyal fandom could spark future surprises.

If you’re asking about the show’s status or hoping for more, Foxโ€™s decision is firm as of nowโ€”but never say never in the world of animated series reboots!
