More ‘Kraptastic’ news… there’s a San Diego Comic-Con special screening tonight of the all-new animated adult comedy about dysfunctional humans, gods and monsters in Ancient Greece; the show joins the Animation Domination lineup this Fall.
For those lucky enough to snag a seat, tonight at San Diego Comic-Con 2023, FOX is hosting a Krapopolis special screening. Meanwhile, for the rest of us peons, the network continues its relentless teasing with a just dropped trailer (below) for the all-new adult animated comedy series from Emmy Award-winner, creator, and executive producer Dan Harmon (Rick and Morty, Community).
The show makes its FOX Animation Domination block debut with a special two-episode preview event on Sunday, September 24, immediately following the FOX NFL doubleheader.
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).
In the series, Ayoade voices Tyrannis, the mortal son of a goddess and benevolent King of Krapopolis, who tries to make do in a city that lives up to its name. Waddingham plays Deliria, Tyrannis’ mother, goddess of self-destruction and questionable choices. Deliria is as petty as she is powerful, and only seems interested in defending civilization if it means she’ll get more worshipers out of it than her frenemies up on Mt. Olympus. Berry is Shlub, Tyrannis’ father, a mantitaur (half centaur [horse + human], half manticore [lion + human + scorpion]). He’s the self-described life of the orgy. A true pleasure seeker who thinks that everyone should just chill out and, if they need him for anything, he’ll be down at the bar. 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 a hot mess, biologically speaking.
The show is FOX’s first wholly owned animated series; it’s produced by FOX’s Bento Box Entertainment. Harmon is Creator and Executive Producer. Steve Levy is Executive Producer. Jordan Young is Executive Producer and Showrunner (Season 1). Alex Rubens is Executive Producer and Showrunner (Seasons 2 & 3). The series has already been renewed for a second and third season prior to its Season 1 debut.
If you are attending San Diego Comic-Con, check out tonight’s Krapopolis special screening, from 8:00pm-9:00pm, in room 5ab at the San Diego Convention Center. Please note, seats will be limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
