Krapopolis Season 1 Release Date: Dan Harmon’s animation collection is growing with the recent premiere of his new series Krapopolis at San Diego Comic-Con earlier this year. The creator of the science fiction animated series Rick and Morty and Solar Opposites is bringing fans a brand-new show that takes them to ancient Greece.
Since signing a contract with Fox Entertainment in June 2020, Harmon has contributed to the program. The program will be created by the animation studio Bento Box Entertainment. The project will be directed by Jordan Young (Bojack Horseman), while Harmon will serve as an executive producer.
Krapopolis, the first animated network television series curated on the blockchain, is a noteworthy endeavor. The decision is consistent with Fox and Bento Box Entertainment’s growth in the NFT sector. On the show’s official website, people can already buy “Krap Chickens,” which are unique NFTs, to access gated content, merchandise, rewards, and even vote on particular elements that will affect the show through its episodes.
Greek mythology’s wide and seemingly infinite oral history has led to several media adaptations. It only makes sense that Harmon built Krapopolis in this area, which is well-known and provides endless potential storylines for the show.
It’s also reassuring to see him pull from his well-known comedy background in this Greek mythology adaption. It’s rare to see these adaptations from a comic book perspective, with a few notable exceptions, like Disney’s Hercules. Even before its 2023 premiere earlier this month, the show’s second season was unexpectedly renewed early.
You can learn everything we presently know about Krapopolis from this helpful guide till then.
Krapopolis Season 1 Release Date
Fox will debut Krapopolis’ first season in May 2023 as a part of their new Monday night animation program. Fox had great hopes for the animated series, as seen by the decision to renew it for a second season even before it premiered. Viewers are allegedly getting a sneak glimpse of Krapopolis before it debuts in 2023; the first episode is planned to air on Fox on Sunday, November 27.
Krapopolis Season 1 Plot
A quirky ensemble of characters joins the dysfunctional family dynamic at the heart of many Harmon projects as they go through absurd antics together.
In the mythical Krapopolis, Tyrannis, a young human emperor, controlled an Ancient Greek metropolis. He has a strange family of monsters and gods by his side, ready to help him conquer this human city.
Throughout the episodes, Tyrannis will run into a variety of Greek legendary beings, who will subject him to several weird situations that are as bit as absurd as the folktales that are recounted about them. Harmon stated that rather than “telling the events again,” the series will “visit” select characters or topics that would interact with the original major cast of the show.
Krapopolis Season 1 Cast
For many of his films, Dan Harmon shines at putting together A-list casts. In Krapopolis, some of the cast members recognized recognizable voices that were a good fit for their characters.
Tyrannis, a mortal king portrayed by The IT Crowd actor Richard Ayoade, makes an effort to oversee a city in ancient Greece. His father is Shlub, a nomadic “mantitaur” (half centaur, half manticore). The voice of his mother, Deliria, a drunken deity, is provided by Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso) (What We Do in the Shadows).
Deliria’s sneak peek gives the impression that she is not interested in “managing a city” and that her entire family is similar to her in many respects. Shlub is an artist who has never in his life received compensation for anything. Therefore, they make a fantastic match.
The first clip also introduced Hippocampus, a human-fish hybrid consumed with questionably moral scientific studies and Tyrannis’ half-brother. Hippocampus is voiced by Duncan Trussell (The Midnight Gospel). Pam Murphy plays Stupendous, Tyrannis’ half-sister, who is a brave but modest fighter (Mapleworth Murders).
She is the offspring of Shlub and a mermaid, which is said to have made her a strong person who won’t think twice about chopping off a monster’s head when the opportunity presents itself.
Krapopolis surely lays the door for the future inclusion of more characters taken from various aspects of its world and voiced by other guest actors, just like in Harmon’s past series. During the show’s SDCC panel, he reportedly revealed that some of the Season 1 guest stars would include Susan Sarandon (Thelma & Louise), Will Forte (The Last Man on Earth), Michael Urie (Ugly Betty), Jane Lynch (Glee), Amber Stevens West (Ghosted), Yvette Nicole Brown (Community), and Dave Franco (Now You See Me).
Harmon reportedly revealed other guest stars at a recent New York Comic-Con panel, including Stephanie Beatriz from Brooklyn Nine-Nine as the goddess Athena, Daveed Diggs from Hamilton, Joel McHale from Community, and Tom Kenny from Spongebob Squarepants. Ben Stiller from Zoolander will play Prometheus as the final guest star.
What Is The Role Of Dan Harmon In Krapopolis Season 1
The show’s executive producer and creator, Dan Harmon, is one of its most intriguing aspects. Harmon has had a long and famous career as a writer for animated television since he was the co-creator, writer, and executive producer of Rick & Morty and Harmonquest.
In addition to his extensive work in animation, he also has co-created and written for Community and The Sarah Silverman Program, as well as written screenplays for Monster House, Kung Fu Panda, and Doctor Strange. In March 2014, the South by Southwest Film Festival hosted the premiere of the documentary Harmontown, which is about Harmon and his podcast of the same name.
Harmon is such an interesting character in the writing world. Jordan Young, a producer, and writer for BoJack Horseman, Drawn Together, and Raising Hope, is the showrunner for Krapopolis.
Krapopolis Season 1 Trailer
While a full trailer for Krapopolis is still pending, Fox has already released an extended sample.
Tyrannis (Richard Ayoade) is in command of a municipal assembly in this to cope with a recently arrived Medusa figure. The program’s humor, the locals, and some main characters are all amusingly introduced.
