As the adult animated sitcom terrain becomes a progressively well-beaten path in television, FOX’s The Great North bravely embarks into uncharted territory… more specifically, to small-town Alaska. With seasoned writing duo and sisters Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin at the helm, along with co-creator Minty Lewis, The Great North brings a fresh spin on the irreverent family dynamic that has become synonymous with the Molyneuxs from their work as writers and producers on Bob’s Burgers. Swap the Belchers’ meat locker for an arctic tundra, and you begin to get a gist of the lay of the land. The series follows the oddly lovable Tobin family—led by Beef (Nick Offerman), a rugged single father with some major anxious attachment issues; along with eldest son Wolf (Will Forte) and his fiancee Honeybee (Dulcé Sloan); misunderstood teen Judy (Jenny Slate) and her imaginary friend in the aurora borealis Alanis Morisette (Alanis Morisette); and brothers Ham (Paul Rust) and Moon (Aparna Nancherla). The series has released two sneak-peek episodes—filled with a bothersome moose and morbid local traditions—on FOX and Hulu in preparation for its Valentine’s Day premiere. It has already been renewed for a second season.Amidst eager anticipation of their series premiere, as well as their recently announced role as writers of Deadpool 3, the Molyneux sisters caught up with Esquire to discuss all that the sister duo has in store.
