Holy Krap! FOX Drops ‘Krapopolis’ Trailer at Comic-Con

FOX has brought its dysfunctional animated pantheon down from Olympus, debuting a brand-new trailer for Krapopolis today ahead of a special screening at San Diego Comic-Con. Attendees can line up for first-come, first-served seating outside Room 5AB of the San Diego Convention Center for the show tonight (Thursday, July 20) from 8-9 p.m.

Created and executive produced by Emmy Award winner Dan Harmon (Rick and Morty), Krapopolis is an animated comedy set in mythical ancient Greece. The series will debut on FOX with a two-episode preview event on Sunday, September 24, immediately following the FOX NFL Doubleheader (8-9 p.m. ET/5-6 p.m. PT, live).

Featuring the voices of Emmy Award-winner Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso, Game of Thrones), Richard Ayoade (The IT Crowd), Matt Berry (What We Do in The Shadows), Pam Murphy (Mapleworth Murders) and Duncan Trussell (The Midnight Gospel), the series centers on a flawed family of humans, gods, and monsters attempting to guide humanity out of the savage wilderness and into a new lifestyle experiment they’re calling “civilization.”

Ayoade voices Tyrannis, the mortal son of a goddess. He’s the self-involved, narcissistic 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. 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, obviously, a hot mess, biologically speaking.

Krapopolis is owned by FOX Entertainment and produced by FOX’s Bento Box Entertainment. Dan 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).
