Season 4 of F is for Family was released on June 12, 2020, giving fans plenty of time to wonder about the show's future before the official announcement of season 5. A month before that release, FIFF WRITERS (a social media account run by Michael Price on behalf of the writing team) tweeted that they are hopeful for a season 5 and ready to get started as soon as Netflix renews the show.
Then, on Oct. 1, 2020, came the official announcement: Season 5 is coming. As mentioned, it was also announced that this would be the show's final season. This is almost expected, as Netflix tends to provide around this many seasons for adult animated shows. The longest-running adult animated series on Netflix is BoJack Horseman, with six seasons. "Working on this show with the great Bill Burr, Vince Vaughn, and our amazing cast, writers, producers, and crew has been the greatest joy of my life, and I'm thrilled that we get to do one more season with the Murphys," said Price.
Unfortunately, there is no official release date yet. There's also no word as to how many episodes will be included, but based on previous seasons, it's safe to assume that there will be anywhere between eight and ten episodes.
The good news, however, is that season 5 writers are already busy finishing up the finale. On Oct. 2, a day after the announcement, the FIFF writing team tweeted themselves on a zoom call, signaling that they had already begun production. On top of that, Price revealed in an interview with Forbes that production hasn't slowed down much due to the pandemic.
