On the heels of Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox is now the second studio to lock down its TV offerings for the upcoming run of San Diego Comic-Con.

Scheduling nine series for the July 11-15 event, the entire animation block -- including The Simpsons, Family Guy and Futurama -- will be in attendance and drama Bones sees a return after a last-minute cancellation in 2011. Sons of Anarchy is the only other noncartoon, with Ryan Murphy's Glee and American Horror Story as the two most notable absences -- so far.

The only new series on the docket is Comedy Central's Brickleberry. From creators and executive producers Waco OGuin and Roger Black, the series most notably enlists the vocal talent of fellow EP Daniel Tosh and will offer a premiere screening ahead of the panel.
