Animal Control, a hit comedy series on Fox, has been renewed for a second season. The show follows a group of animal control workers whose lives are complicated by the fact that animals are simple, but humans are not. With its witty humour and relatable characters, Animal Control has become a fan favourite.
Animal Control has been described as a tamer version of Brooklyn 99. The workplace comedy is led by Frank Shaw, an opinionated, eccentric animal control officer who may not have gone to college but is still the most well-read person in the room. In his past life as a cop, Frank tried to expose corruption in his department, but his efforts got him fired, leaving him cynical and curmudgeonly. Despite his rough exterior, he has an almost superhuman ability to understand animals.
The show stars Zimbabwe-born actress Alvina August, who portrays the character of veterinarian, Dr. Summers. Other cast members include Michael Rowland as Frank’s new partner Fred “Shred” Taylor, Vella Lovell as awkward boss Emily Price, Ravi Patel and Grace Palmer as Amit Patel and Victoria Sands, partners in the office, Kelli Ogmundson as receptionist Dolores Stubb, and Gerry Dee as Templeton Dudge, an Animal Control officer from a neighbouring precinct with a real chip on his shoulder.
Frank's new partner, Fred "Shred" Taylor, adds to the hilarity with his antics and hijinks. The awkward boss, Emily Price, provides a relatable character who tries to keep the office running smoothly but often fails. Amit Patel and Victoria Sands, partners in the office, bring a sense of quirkiness to the show with their antics. Receptionist Dolores Stubb and Templeton Dudge also add to the cast's comedic dynamic.
