The beloved Belcher family is back for another deliciously chaotic season at their struggling yet beloved restaurant on Ocean Avenue. Bob and Linda continue their noble quest to keep their dream afloat, serving up burgers, puns, and questionable business decisions with equal enthusiasm. Meanwhile, their uniquely eccentric children—Tina, Gene, and Louise—are ready to embark on their own hilarious misadventures, ensuring that life is never boring in or out of the family’s cramped apartment above the shop.

From Tina’s latest boy-crazy schemes and Gene’s musical experiments to Louise’s anarchic plots, Season 16 promises more of the heartwarming, quirky humor that has made this animated family a television staple. With the help—and occasional hindrance—of their loyal friend Teddy and the bizarre residents of their waterfront town, the Belchers will face new challenges, celebrate small victories, and remind us all that the best family is the one you make burgers with.

Bob’s Burgers Season 16 new cast updates

1- H. Jon Benjamin as Bob Belcher

The iconic H. Jon Benjamin returns as the voice of Bob Belcher, the perpetually stressed yet deeply dedicated patriarch and grill master. Benjamin’s signature deadpan delivery perfectly captures Bob’s weary exasperation with the world, his competitors (especially Jimmy Pesto), and his family’s antics, all while maintaining a core of undeniable love for them. His grumbles and muttered asides are the soundtrack to the restaurant’s daily struggles, making him one of the most relatable and hilariously ground-down characters on television. Benjamin’s ability to convey a vast spectrum of emotion—from pure culinary ecstasy to near-total despair—through his consistently monotone delivery is a masterclass in voice acting.

Benjamin also brings to life the voice of Jimmy Jr., the object of Tina’s affections, showcasing his versatility by giving the character a distinct, awkward, and often disinterested tone. His dual roles often place him at the center of the show’s funniest dynamics, whether Bob is lamenting his fate or Jimmy Jr. is obliviously dancing through life. Benjamin’s performance is the unwavering foundation upon which the entire show is built, and his sixteenth season as the beleaguered burger flipper promises more of the brilliantly understated comedy that fans adore.

2- Kristen Schaal as Louise Belcher

Kristen Schaal is brilliantly chaotic as the mischievous, bunny-hat-wearing youngest child, Louise Belcher. Schaal infuses Louise with a terrifyingly sharp intellect, a gleeful love of chaos, and a surprisingly fierce (if well-hidden) loyalty to her family. Her high-pitched, maniacal voice is the harbinger of trouble, whether she’s masterminding a scheme to make money or exposing the secrets of their adult neighbors. Schaal’s delivery is packed with an energy that perfectly captures the character’s unhinged ambition and cunning manipulation skills.

Schaal’s genius lies in revealing the subtle vulnerability beneath Louise’s tough exterior. In quieter moments, her performance allows glimpses of a child who, despite her bravado, still needs her family and secretly fears letting them down. This season, Schaal will undoubtedly continue to navigate Louise’s journey of balancing her anarchic spirit with her growing, albeit reluctant, emotional intelligence. Her ability to switch from a sinister plotter to a protective sister in a single scene makes Louise the show’s unpredictable and deeply compelling heart.

3- John Roberts as Linda Belcher

John Roberts provides the endlessly optimistic and musical energy of Linda Belcher, the family’s matriarch. Roberts’s performance is a tour-de-force of sing-songy enthusiasm and unshakeable, often delusional, positivity. Linda’s unique cadence and penchant for breaking into spontaneous song about anything—from burgers to bathroom cleaning—are brought to life with infectious joy by Roberts, making her the unwavering cheerleader for her family’s wildest ideas. His improvisational background brings a delightful spontaneity to Linda’s many musical numbers and quirky expressions.

Roberts also voices the airheaded Jocelyn, a friend of Tina’s, with a hilariously vapid and drawn-out vocal fry that contrasts perfectly with Linda’s buoyancy. His ability to create two such distinct and memorable characters is a testament to his vocal talent. Linda’s unwavering belief that “everything is gonna be okay” is the emotional engine that keeps the Belcher family, and the restaurant, pushing forward against all odds. Roberts’s portrayal makes Linda one of the most genuinely loving and hilarious mothers in animation.

4- Dan Mintz as Tina Belcher

Dan Mintz is perfectly monotone as the awkward, boy-crazy, and hormone-driven eldest child, Tina Belcher. Mintz’s delivery is legendary—a flat, deadpan drone that belies the intense, dramatic, and often bizarre romantic fantasies swirling in Tina’s mind. His performance turns simple lines about butts or zombies into comedy gold, capturing the profound awkwardness and earnestness of adolescence like no other. The contrast between the calm of his voice and the chaos of Tina’s thoughts is the core of the character’s humor.

Mintz’s portrayal makes Tina an icon for the anxious and unconventional teen in all of us. Her journey through the perils of ninth grade, her unrequited crushes, and her attempts to find her voice are both cringe-worthy and deeply endearing. This season, Mintz will continue to deliver Tina’s signature “uhhhhhs” and erotic friend fiction with the same unparalleled commitment. Tina’s gradual, hard-won confidence triumphs, voiced by Mintz, provide some of the show’s most heartwarming moments.

5- Eugene Mirman as Gene Belcher

Eugene Mirman brings boundless, quirky energy to Gene Belcher, the family’s eccentric middle child and aspiring music maestro. Mirman’s voice work is a delightful mix of exuberance and weirdness, perfectly suited for a character who sees the world as one big opportunity to create a sound effect or compose a jingle about farts. Gene’s unshakeable self-confidence and bizarre non-sequiturs are a constant source of laughter and unexpected wisdom. Mirman’s background in stand-up comedy shines through in Gene’s impeccable timing and delivery.

Mirman’s improvisational skills give Gene a spontaneous and joyful feel. Whether he’s playing his beloved keyboard, the Theremin-like “Gene Machine,” or offering shockingly insightful comments in his own unique way, Mirman ensures that Gene is the embodiment of unbridled creativity and pure, unadulterated joy within the Belcher household. His performance captures the essence of a child completely comfortable in his own weird skin, making Gene an inspirational and endlessly entertaining character.

6- Larry Murphy as Teddy

Larry Murphy gives a heartwarming and hilarious performance as Teddy, the Belchers’ best customer, devoted friend, and lonely handyman. Murphy voices Teddy with a boisterous, emotionally unregulated energy that barely contains a deep well of loneliness and a desperate need to be part of the Belcher family. His conversations with Bob at the counter are legendary, often spiraling into long, personal tangents that Bob endures with silent suffering. Murphy finds the perfect balance between making Teddy overwhelmingly needy and incredibly sweet.

Murphy also lends his voice to the crotchety and accusatory antique store owner, Edith. His ability to switch from Teddy’s loud, friendly vulnerability to Edith’s shrill, suspicious disdain demonstrates impressive range. As Teddy, Murphy creates a character who is more than just a punchline; he is a genuinely loving, if deeply flawed, part of the community who represents the family’s extended, chosen kinship. His presence always guarantees a boost of chaotic energy.

7- David Herman as Mr. Frond

David Herman is a versatile cornerstone of the show’s supporting cast, most notably voicing the high-strung, ineffectual school guidance counselor, Mr. Frond. Herman perfectly captures Frond’s nervous energy and desperate need for validation, often making him the target of Louise’s schemes. His attempts to connect with the students through bizarre therapeutic puppets or awkward workshops are always a highlight, thanks to Herman’s ability to convey deep-seated professional insecurity.

Beyond Mr. Frond, Herman provides the voices for a vast array of characters, including Jimmy Pesto’s long-suffering employee, Trev, and many one-off townspeople. This incredible versatility makes him an invaluable asset to the show, helping to populate the world of Seymour’s Bay with a rich tapestry of unique voices and personalities. His contributions ensure that every corner of the show’s universe feels alive and hilariously detailed.

8- Andy Kindler as Mort

Andy Kindler brings a meek, gentle energy to Mort, the Belchers’ mild-mannered mortician neighbor. Kindler’s delivery is perfectly suited for a character who is often overlooked and lives in the shadow of the more dramatic personalities on the block. Mort’s presence adds a layer of quiet normality to the show, and his friendly interactions with the family are always pleasantly low-key. Kindler’s performance makes Mort a comforting, stable figure in the neighborhood.

Kindler’s stand-up background brings a distinct, slightly neurotic rhythm to Mort’s speech, which contrasts humorously with his macabre profession. He also voices other characters, including Mort’s own mother, showcasing his comedic range. Mort may not be the loudest character, but Kindler’s nuanced performance makes him an essential part of the show’s community, representing the everyday people who coexist with the Belchers’ delightful insanity.

9- Brian Huskey as Regular-Sized Rudy

Brian Huskey brings immense charm and vulnerability to the role of “Regular-Sized” Rudy, Louise’s asthmatic, kind-hearted classmate and reluctant accomplice. Huskey’s voice work makes Rudy instantly endearing, capturing his physical fragility without making him a mere victim. Rudy’s bravery, which often manifests in spite of his fear and his need for his inhaler, is one of the show’s most touching elements, and Huskey delivers his lines with a perfect blend of wheezy anxiety and determined spirit.

Huskey makes Rudy a perfect foil for Louise; his goodness and vulnerability bring out her protective side, creating one of the show’s most unexpected and cherished friendships. The character’s nickname, derived from his distinction from a smaller “Pocket-Sized” Rudy, is a testament to the show’s clever writing, and Huskey’s performance gives that joke a real, empathetic soul. He is a standout character who adds significant heart to every episode he appears in.

10- Sarah Silverman as Ollie Pesto

Sarah Silverman guest stars as the voice of Ollie Pesto, one-half of the troublesome Pesto twins and a frequent antagonist to the Belcher children. Silverman, along with her sister Laura Silverman who voices the other twin Andy, creates a hilariously chaotic duo. Her performance captures the childish meanness and simple-minded scheming of Ollie, making the twins formidable yet silly rivals for Tina, Gene, and Louise. The twins’ constant bickering and unified front against others are comedy gold.

Silverman’s distinctive voice and comedic timing make Ollie a memorable part of the show’s world of childhood conflict. The Pesto twins represent the mundane, everyday adversaries of youth, and their interactions with the Belchers are always filled with a classic, cartoonish rivalry. Silverman’s contribution, though sporadic, adds to the rich tapestry of characters that make the world of Bob’s Burgers feel so fully realized and endlessly entertaining.
