Fox’s hit comedy series Animal Control is back in action. Filming for Season 4 kicks off on August 21, 2025, in Vancouver, British Columbia, with production scheduled to run through November 7, 2025.
Starring Joel McHale, the workplace comedy follows the quirky team of Seattle’s Animal Control officers who handle everything from escaped iguanas to chaotic raccoons—while juggling their personal drama and workplace chaos. The show has built a steady fan base over its past three seasons and is now preparing for its fourth round with ten brand-new episodes.
Where Is Animal Control Season 4 Filming?
Although the show is set in Seattle, the production returns to Vancouver once again, using local landmarks and neighborhoods to double as the fictional “Northwest Seattle Division.”
One key set location is along Marine Drive and Manitoba Street in Vancouver, which fans might recognize from previous seasons.
Vancouver is a popular place to film because the city has a lot of different types of scenery and crews with a lot of experience. Animal Control is one of many shows that use what the city has to offer.
In July 2025, Animal Control Season 3 was filmed on location at Broadway Tech Centre.
When Was Season 4 Confirmed?
Fox officially renewed the series for Season 4 on May 12, 2025, continuing its support for the ensemble comedy. The series remains one of the network’s steady performers in its scripted lineup.
The new season will consist of 10 episodes, expected to air in early 2026, likely around January or February, which aligns with previous season premieres.

The show has also featured several guest stars in the past, including Ken Jeong, Lucy Punch, Rob Gronkowski, and Thomas Lennon, raising fan anticipation for surprise appearances in Season 4.
What to Expect in Season 4?
