The Animal Control crew is back for a third season of creature-driven comedy, and judging by the premiere title, things are about to get wild. A zoo break is set to cause chaos.

Amidst the chaos of escaped zebras and misplaced meerkats, Frank grapples with the age-old dilemma of breaking up with someone named Yasmin. Because apparently, wrangling rogue wildlife is less complicated than dealing with a romantic entanglement. Meanwhile, Patel’s heroic gorilla rescue becomes an internet sensation, because of course it does. Fame is fleeting, especially when it involves primates.

And then there’s Emily, who encounters a benevolent celebrity businesswoman, presumably one who doesn’t specialize in selling knock-off handbags. Will this newfound benefactor turn out to be a genuine ally or just another source of eccentric chaos for the Animal Control team?

“Animal Control” airs Thursday, January 2, 2025, from 9:01-9:31 PM ET/PT on FOX.
