Bob's Burgers' Beloved Halloween Episodes May Soon Vanish

As of October 31st, 2025, the beloved animated series Bob's Burgers is facing potential changes to its airing schedule that could impact the show's beloved Halloween episodes. According to creator Loren Bouchard, the series has achieved the impressive milestone of its 300th episode, and Fox has renewed it for four additional seasons.

However, Bouchard hinted that the network may be considering shifting Bob's Burgers' debut to January or February, after the midseason hiatus, or even moving it to anchor the summer lineup leading into the fall TV season. The reasoning behind this potential shift, Bouchard speculates, could be to bring Family Guy back into the normal flow alongside The Simpsons.

While Bouchard acknowledges that the Halloween stories have become a significant part of the show's legacy, he suggests that if the series does move away from the fall, there may be opportunities to craft spooky specials in other formats, such as Hulu-exclusive episodes or streaming content for Disney+, similar to what Family Guy and The Simpsons have done.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the show's future scheduling, Bouchard remains optimistic, stating that if fans start calling for a Bob's Burgers Halloween special, the powers that be may be convinced to order one before the current season has finished airing.
