Dan Harmon‘s animated comedy Krapopolis will return for a fourth season on Fox.
Harmon announced the news during Fox’s Animation Domination panel at San Diego Comic-Con, and ahead of the Season 3 premiere on Sunday, September 29.
“For all our Krap-devotees, there was no better place to decree another season of Krapopolis than the annual San Diego Comic-Con fan fest and no one better to deliver the proclamation than our brilliant creator and executive producer, Dan Harmon,” said Michael Thorn, President of Fox Television Network. “Dan and his team have created something special with this series, and now that Season Four is etched in stone, we’ll be keeping those once-in-a-millennia laughs rolling on Fox Animation Domination.
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 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).
Krapopolis recently received its first Emmy nomination in the upcoming 76th Primetime Emmy Awards with Waddingham recognized for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance as “Deliria.”
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. 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 will be joined on the fall schedule by the returning The Simpsons, which is entering its 36th season and Bob’s Burgers in its 15th season. The three will return alongside new animated comedy Universal Basic Guys, which has received an early Season 2 renewal. Family Guy will return midseason along with The Great North and Grimsburg.
Krapopolis is produced by Fox’s Bento Box Entertainment. Dan Harmon is creator and executive producer. Steve Levy is executive producer. Alex Rubens is executive producer and showrunner.
