Deadline reports that Fox has released new official trailer for Dan Harmon’s (Rick and Morty, Community) upcoming animated series Krapopolis. The series will debut on Fox with a special two-episode preview after the NFL doubleheader on Sunday, September 24. It will become a part of Fox’s Animation Domination block on Sunday, October 1 at 8 p.m. before Bob’s Burgers and Family Guy and after The Simpsons.
The series has already been renewed for three seasons. It was previously set to debut with four episodes in a two-hour block in May along with Grimsburg and the second season of Housebroken, but was moved to the 2023-24 season.
Krapopolis takes place in a mythical ancient Greece and follows a dysfunctional family of humans, gods, and monsters as they try their hand at running the world’s first cities. Tyrannis is the benevolent King of Krapopolis, the mortal son of a goddess, and trying to make do in a city that lives up to its name. Tyrannis’ mother is Deliria, a goddess of questionable choices and self-destruction. She is known as the trashy one in her extended Olympian family that was forged in patricide and infidelity. Tyrannis’ father is Shlub, a mantitaur (half centaur, half manticore) who is underemployed and oversexed. He claims to be an artist and has never paid for anything in his entire life. Stupendous is Tyrannis’ half-sister, a cyclops and daughter of Deliria. Hippocampus is Tyrannis’ half-brother who is the offspring of Shlub and a hot mess.
