FOX confirmed the renewal of Krapopolis by Emmy Award-Winning Dan Harmon (Rick and Morty co-creator) for a second season. Michael Thorn, President of Entertainment, FOX Entertainment, gave the announcement. The news came months before its first season premieres on May 2023.
The animated comedy series centers on the mythical ancient Greek setting of Krapopolis and focuses on a dysfunctional family of humans, gods, and monsters trying to manage the earliest cities in the world, as they try to do it without attempting to kill one another.
“As you can imagine, anything Dan Harmon does is unflinchingly irreverent and filled with his signature, bold characters; and these early episodes of ‘Krapopolis’ far surpass even our highest expectations,” said Michael Thorn. “While we continue to evolve Fox’s animation brand, it’s a true delight watching Dan and his team work their magic on the series. But it’s an even bigger thrill to be so confident in this special project to be able to reward it with an early renewal.”
Emmy Award winner Hannah Waddingham, Richard Ayoade, Matt Berry, Pam Murphy, and Duncan Trussell all lend their voices to the show. Produced by FOX’s Emmy-winning animation company and Bento Box Entertainment, the animated series is the first fully owned animated series by FOX Entertainment. At MIPCOM Cannes, Fox Entertainment Global will present the comedy to international program buyers.

About Krapopolis TV Show
Emmy Award nominee Hannah Waddingham ("Ted Lasso"), Richard Ayoade ("The IT Crowd"), Matt Berry ("What We Do in The Shadows"), Pam Murphy ("Mapleworth Murders") and Duncan Trussell ("The Midnight Gospel") have joined the voice cast of KRAPOPOLIS, FOX's new animated comedy set in mythical ancient Greece, from Emmy Award-winning creator Dan Harmon ("Rick and Morty," "Community").
KRAPOPOLIS centers on a flawed family of humans, gods and monsters that tries to run one of the world's first cities without killing each other.
In the series, Ayoade voices "Tyrannis", the mortal son of a goddess. He's the benevolent King of Krapopolis trying to make do in a city that lives up to its name. Waddingham plays "Deliria," Tyrannis' mother, goddess of self-destruction and questionable choices. Within her extended Olympian family - forged in patricide and infidelity - she's known as the trashy one. Berry is "Shlub," Tyrannis' father, a mantitaur (half centaur [horse + human], half manticore [lion + human + scorpion]). He is oversexed and underemployed, claims to be an artist and has literally never paid for anything, in any sense of that word, for his entire life. Murphy voices "Stupendous," Tyrannis' half-sister, daughter of Deliria and a cyclops. Trussell plays "Hippocampus," Tyrannis' half-brother, offspring of Shlub and a mermaid, and, obviously, a hot mess, biologically speaking.
The series is an outgrowth of the direct animation deal Harmon and FOX Entertainment unveiled last year. Wholly owned and financed by FOX Entertainment and to be produced by FOX's Emmy Award-winning animation studio, Bento Box Entertainment, the project also is the first series to move forward under FOX's broadcast direct model. Additionally, KRAPOPOLIS will serve as the first-ever animated series curated entirely on the Blockchain, as FOX and Bento Box enter the NFT business. The company will launch a dedicated marketplace for KRAPOPOLIS that will curate and sell digital goods, ranging from NFTs of one-of-a-kind character and background art and GIFs, as well as tokens that provide exclusive social experiences to engage and reward super fans. An NFT of the KRAPOPOLIS cast image is minted on the Eluvio content blockchain with token metadata.
