'Bob's Burgers' Movie Coming in 2020

Bob's Burgers has been one of the bright spots on the Fox network schedule since 2011, and the series began its eighth season at the beginning of this month. It's been nominated for seven consecutive Emmys for best animated series, and it's won the award twice. That's all good news for fans of the show, but the best news ever broke this week when it was revealed that Fox is developing a feature-length movie based on the series. We don't know much about the project yet, except that it's due out in the summer of 2020.

“Bob’s Burgers” is getting the movie treatment.

Fox is developing a film based on the hit TV series that will be released on July 17, 2020.

The show, which premiered on Fox TV in 2011, centers on the Belcher family. Bob Belcher runs a hamburger restaurant in a seaside town with his ever-optimistic wife Linda and their three children: the self-conscious Tina, goofball Gene, and precocious Louise.

The series, created by Loren Bouchard, has been nominated for an Emmy Award for best animated series seven consecutive times, winning in 2014 and 2017.

“We know the movie has to scratch every itch the fans of the show have ever had, but it also has to work for all the good people who’ve never seen the show,” Bouchard said. “We also know it has to fill every inch of the screen with the colors and the sounds and the ever-so-slightly greasy texture of the world of Bob’s — but most of all it has to take our characters on an epic adventure. In other words, it has to be the best movie ever made. But no pressure, right?!”
