Dan Harmon’s ‘Krapopolis’ Renewed For Season 3 At Fox Ahead Of Premiere As Animated Series Moves To 2023/24 Season
02.03.2023 - 03:53 / deadline.com
EXCLUSIVE: Krapopolis has scored a third season renewal before a frame of the animated series has been seen by the viewing public.
Fox has made the unprecedented move as it moves the Dan Harmon-created comedy to the 2023/24 season, shaking up its plans to premiere the series in a four-show, two-hour block in May.
The renewal, from Michael Thorn, President of Scripted Programming at Fox, comes as the company is in the UK for the London Screenings, where it will be shopping it to international buyers.
Krapopolis has had a very long gestation period; Harmon signed a direct deal with the broadcast network in July 2020 with a series commitment. In February 2021, the then-untitled show was handed a formal series order, making it its first fully owned animated series. A special preview of the show, which was handed a second season renewal in October 2022, was originally set for November 2022 but was delayed with Welcome To Flatch taking its place after an NFL doubleheader.
Then, the series was planned to launch in May, alongside shows such as Jon Hamm-voiced Grimsburg and the second season of Housebroken.
However, it will now move to next season.
While some might think its premiere’s constant reshuffling was a bad sign for a network show, the fact that it’s been given a third season before the general public has had a chance to see it, shows Fox’s confidence in it. It also knows that potentially launching the animated show during the football season, gives it a much better chance of success. If there’s a writers strike, it also doesn’t hurt to have completed product to air, either.
