Comedian and actor Earthquake is set to team up with fellow comedian Bill Burr for a comedy show at Fox. Earthquake rose to fame for his stand-up comedy and recurring roles in the sitcomsThe NeighborhoodandEverybody Hates Chris. Burr has also achieved prominence on the stand-up circuit, as well as for his role asPatrick Kuby inBreaking Bad.
As two of the most prominent names in modern comedy, Burr and Earthquake teaming up for a comedy series seems a natural step for their career trajectories. Earthquake will go from recurring roles in other shows to fronting his own show, and the series could debut on Fox next year.
PerDeadline, the show, which is set to be titledEarthquake, will be in contention for the 2026-27 broadcast season. The show is set to mark Fox’s push toward multi-camera comedy, and it will be developed at Fox with Burr’s North Hill Productions, and 3 Arts Entertainment. Earthquake and Burr will executive produce alongside Mike Bertolina of North Hill, and Dave Becky of 3 Arts.
What This Means For Earthquake’s Upcoming Show
It Could Be A Success For Both Comedians & Fox
Fox moving toward more multi-camera comedy is a great way of the network expanding its slate of comedies, and opens the door for creatives like Earthquake and Burr. The show does not have a writer attached right now, and it is unclear whether Earthquake or Barr may choose to pen some of the episodes themselves.
Having top talent attached to the project means that there should be a lot of buzz surrounding Earthquake, and it could be a strong addition to Fox’s Fall slate for 2026-27.
It is almost certain that the two men will have a key role in the creative process, but this could be more on the producing side. Two years afterCall Me Katwas canceled, Fox will no doubt be keen to get back to multi-camera sitcoms, and this represents a great opportunity to do this via a unique story.
Having top talent attached to the project means that there should be a lot of buzz surrounding Earthquake, and it could be a strong addition to Fox’s Fall slate for 2026-27. There is time to map out the show, get a strong cast in place, and focus on trying to tell an affecting biographical story in the best possible way.
Our Take On Earthquake’s Chances Of Success
The Show Will Benefit From Experienced & Hilarious Leads
The series is going to benefit from the experience and comedy of pairing Earthquake and Burr together, and there is a good chance that the show could become another hit for Fox. There is likely to be a lot of ad-libbing happening, and the two leads will no doubt bounce off one another to create more improvised scenes.
Burr’s filmographyis diverse, and he will be a great addition to the show, especially as Earthquake will be trying to retell the story of his life in the most comedic way possible. If Fox can pair these leads with talented writers, creative directors and find an offbeat tone, there’s no reasonEarthquakecan’t be a successful comedy.
