FOX’s Krapopolis Changes Show Runners For Seasons Two And Three

Alex Rubens is stepping in for Jordan Young as the new showrunner for Krapopolis seasons two and three. FOX has been touting the series claiming that Krapopolis could spawn that next animated fixture on the Animation Domination lineup that lasts for a while, further emboldened with FOX ordering the show for two additional seasons before the show’s first season has even premiered.

That said, the franchise has already started making money for the network…in the form of cryptocurrency. Movieweb is reporting that Krapopolis has already generated $650k in the form of offering up NFT’s to consumers who would also have the power to give creative feedback to the franchise. FOX Entertainment has also started the process of selling Krapopolis overseas into international markets

Synopsis:

Krapopolis is set in mythical ancient Greece and tells the story of a dysfunctional family of humans, gods and monsters that try their hand at running the world’s first cities – without trying to kill each other, that is. The series features the voices of Emmy Award winner 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).

Krapopolis is an outgrowth of Harmon’s direct animation deal with FOX Entertainment. 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.

Additionally, FOX’s Web3 media and creative technology company Blockchain Creative Labs operates krapopolis.com — a dedicated marketplace for the program, marking network television’s first animated series to be curated on the blockchain — which sells digital goods and NFTs that provide fans exclusive experiences, including access to token-gated content, exclusive show voting rights, private Discord channels and access to meet-and-greets with the cast and crew.
