Fox Decides Against Airing MURDER POLICE

Fox will not air its new animated series MURDER POLICE, a rep for the network confirmed. According to TV Guide Magazine — which was first to report the news — its studio (20th Century Fox TV) will look into shopping the comedy elsewhere.

The series has had quite the ride over the past few months: one of the lead voices, Wilmer Valderrama, exited the show (he was replaced with Phil LaMarr) and the series failed to land a set spot for the 2013-2014 season. (The series did, however, have a Comic-Con panel this past summer.)

MURDER POLICE was set to star Jane Lynch, Chi McBride, Will Sasso, Jason Ruiz, and Justina Machado.

MURDER POLICE: Jane Lynch and Wilmer Valderrama Join the New Animated Fox Series

MURDER POLICE, a new Fox animated series set to debut next season, has added two more familiar voices to the mix: GLEE star Jane Lynch and former THAT ’70s SHOW star Wilmer Valderrama. (They join previously announced voice talent Jason Ruiz, Will Sasso, Chi McBride, Horatio Sanz, Penny Marshall, Peter Atencio, and Justina Machado.)

The series follows the employees at police precinct. Lynch will play Justice, whom is described as “a self-righteous detective and working mother.” Valderrama will play Donel, an undercover cop “who is in so deep that he often does things of questionable legality.”

Fox Picks Up New Animated Series MURDER POLICE

Fox has picked up 13 episodes of MURDER POLICE, a new animated series that follows a questionable police precinct. The series is expected to debut during the 2013-2014 season.

“[Series co-creators] David [A. Goodman] and Jason [Ruiz] came to us with a really fresh take on law enforcement that we’ve never seen before,” said Kevin Reilly, Chairman of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company in a statement. “With MURDER POLICE, these guys are taking a staple genre of television – the cop show – and turning it on its head by pushing the warped comedic boundaries that only animation can offer. It’s the kind of show our Animation Domination fans will absolutely love, and I can’t wait to introduce it next season.”
