Grimsburg Season 1 Episode 5
Fox is on an animation spree. In an attempt to bolster its animated block, the network has come up with Grimsburg, yet another adult comedy.
Produced by Bent Box, who are also behind another Fox special, Krapopolis, the show is set in a fictional town and revolves around detective Marvin Flute. The lead is voiced by Jon Hamm, who sounds nothing like his usual self in the trailer.
The show’s official synopsis reads: ” In Grimsburg, Marvin Flute (Jon Hamm) may be the greatest detective ever to catch a cannibal clown or correctly identify a mid-century modern armoire. But there’s one mystery he still can’t crack — his family. Now that he’s back in Grimsburg, a town where everyone has a secret or three, Flute will follow every lead he’s got to redeem himself with the ex-wife he never stopped loving, even if it means hanging out with the son he never bothered to get to know.”
From the looks of it, Grimsburg promises to be a mix of drama and detective work, which should make the individual episodes interesting.
Here is everything you need to know about Grimsburg Season 1 Episode 5, including its release date, time, and where to watch this.

Grimbsurg, currently, is exclusively available to watch on Fox. If you do not have a cable network, you will have to wait to catch a glimpse of the new episodes.

How Many Episodes Will Grimsburg Have?
Currently, Fox has not revealed how many episodes Season 1 of Grimsburg will have. Unusually, their animated offerings do not have a pre-determined number, probably because the series isn’t ordered beforehand.
At this point, we assume that the show will have a total of 13 episodes. We will keep you posted on these details and more through our weekly previews.
What happened in Episode 4?
In episode 4 of Grimsburg, our protagonist Detective Marvin Flute has reached his ceiling. Along with Summers and Kang, Flute has been on a serial killer-catching spree. He is overworked, underfed, and needs a break. Due to the large stress of the work, Flute forgets to make a model for the Grimsburg Miniature Convention. He is an enthusiast, having secured an award at the previous edition. Jebediah, who judged his model the previous year, is excited to see what Flute has done this time.
However, he is disappointed and utterly disgusted when he spots a toy knife used in the model. Flute pleads with Jebediah not to disqualify him but the judge is stern in his action. Flute causes a scene and leaves, threatening to kill the judge. Lo and behold, someone does kill him and the detective is under the scanner for this one. Summers believes his partner is innocent and allows Flute to run off.
The only piece of evidence to go on is a tiny piece of paper with the number “350.169.” It also has a quote from him that he said to Jebediah. He senses Dr Rufis Pentos is involved and confronts him. However, his arch nemesis makes it clear that he has not framed Flute. He explains that without his rival, Pentos’ whole arc would be futile.
Stan has been offered a place with the Trauma Club by the school’s most handsome-looking tween kid, Zephyr. The club instantly takes him in, even encouraging Stan to illicitly get beer from a store. Stan enjoys the new chaos in his life. But his imaginary friend, Mr Flesh, suspects Stan is on the wrong path. Stan even disperses him from his memory when Flesh tries to tell him this.
Flute suspects that Cal, the janitor at the school, is the killer. However, it turns out that Cal retired from a life on Wall Street to take up this job for the peace it offers him. Flute adopts a fake identity and plans to take up this job. Pentos is distraught to see him like this. In order to pull him back, Pentos shows Flute his old middle school jacket and encourages him to clear his name. Marvin realizes that the piece of paper found near Jebediah is actually from a library card of a book.
Zephyr plans to humiliate the members of the Stable Boys by presenting their pictures publically during a school event. Stan is against the plan. He pleads with Zephyr to go with a different plan but to no avail. However, Flute jumps onto the stage at the gala and announces him as the killer. Zephyr tries to run away with Stan but Flute and Cal’s combination helps catch him.
