Netflix’s adult-aimed animated family comedy, F Is For Family, is officially set to return for a filthy fourth season.

F Is For Family season 4 has received the official greenlight by Netflix.

The animated sitcom, set in the U.S. suburbs in the 1970s, brandishes adult-themes that render it not quite fit for primetime network television. Yet, its driving force has been its central character, irascible family man and Korean War veteran, Frank Murphy, a La-Z-Boy-riding bell-bottom-era bygone generational mouthpiece for the PC-pulverising rants of comedian (series co-creator,) Bill Burr; a character that could be described as an animated amalgam of Archie Bunker and Al Bundy.

Burr co-created F Is For Family with Michael Price, a writer and co-executive producer on Fox’s The Simpsons and Lego Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles and Lego Star Wars: Droid Tales. Along with the creative duo, the show’s array of executive producers consists of Vince Vaughn, Peter Billingsley, Katie O’Connell, Elisa Todd Ellis, Sidonie Dumas and Christophe Riandee.  

Joining raucous ranter Burr on the series is an impressive voice cast that consists of names like Laura Dern, Justin Long, Sam Rockwell, Debu Derryberry, Mo Collins and David Koechner.

With the fourth season renewal secured, F Is For Family will assuredly continue to bolster Netflix’s lineup of mature animated content, which currently consists of shows such as the popular (Comedy Central rerun-securing) BoJack Horseman, Matt Groening’s renewed fantasy series, Disenchantment, Big Mouth and Paradise PD.

F Is For Family season 4 release date

Netflix, in repertory fashion, did not reveal a release window for the now-confirmed fourth season of F Is For Family.

The show made its debut on Netflix on December 18, 2015, subsequently dropping season 2 on May 30, 2017. However, the series got back to a fourth quarter release strategy when it premiered season 3 on November 30, 2018. Thus, it’s reasonable to presume that Netflix will maintain a set pattern by targeting a late-2019 release date for the fourth frame.
