FOX’s Krapopolis Eyeing Fall 2023 Premiere With Possible San Diego Comic-Con 2023 Appearance In Tow

It has been 84 years since the first season of FOX’s Krapopolis has been ordered but FOX’s marketing efforts seems to indicate that the animated franchise will indeed be part of the Fall 2023 Animation Domination lineup. To help celebrate that premiere, the series will be making some sort of San Diego Comic-Con 2023 appearance. In what capacity, is anyone’s guess, and I bet it’d be cheap because the network can just reuse the wraps and advertising from last year when the show was supposed to premiere Fall 2022.

Wholly owned by FOX Entertainment and produced by its Emmy-winning animation studio, Bento Box Entertainment, 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.

Krapopolis has been renewed for two additional seasons by FOX and is already making a ton of money leveraging web3 technologies at its disposal.
