The studio was established in 1999.[1] Its first project was the continued production of Family Guy for its third season, which it took over from the series' previous home at Film Roman for seasons one and two. The studio would become the home of future animated series co-created by Seth MacFarlane: American Dad! and The Cleveland Show.[2] In 2016, Fox Television Animation assumed production of The Simpsons, taking over from Film Roman.

Most animated projects from 20th Century Fox are subcontracted to third party animation production companies such as Film Roman, Titmouse, Inc., Bento Box Entertainment and Rough Draft Studios, but the company maintains Fox Television Animation as an in-house option. Because the company acts as a production house for hire, it is not treated as a labeled division of 20th Century Fox like Fox 21 Television Studios, Fox Searchlight Pictures or Fox 2000 Pictures. The studio specializes in animation pre-production and post-production, while the actual animation production is handled by studios in South Korea. Fox Television Animation's frequent contractors include Digital eMation, Yearim Productions, AKOM Production, and Rough Draft Korea.

The studio maintains a location in the Miracle Mile neighborhood of Los Angeles[3][4] Its workers are represented by The Animation Guild, I.A.T.S.E. Local 839.[5]
