Universal Basic Guys is one of Fox‘s big new animated TV shows!
The show, which was ordered to series back in November 2022, follows two brothers, Mark and Hank Hoagies, who lose their jobs to automation and are given $3,000 a month in a new basic income program. Now, they’re using their free time and free money to find purpose in a world where they’re no longer needed.
The series is airing its Season 1 finale at 8:30 p.m. ET on Sunday (December 29).
In the season finale, Mark goes into business with Gary & Barry’s Water Ice Shoppe when faced with being deprived of his favorite summer snack during their annual winter closure.
Of course, fans of the new show are wondering if it’ll be given a second season order.
