SDCC attendees get a first look at Emmy Award Winner Dan Harmon’s new animated series Krapopolis
Fox Entertainment’s newest animated series from the mind of Rick & Morty co-creator Dan Harmon is Krapopolis will premier at San Diego Comic-Con 2022 with a panel on Saturday, July 23rd, it’s first ever comic-con booth, autograph sighing with cast & producers, fan experience activation, AND the chance to win a trip to Greece!
The new series is set in a mythical Greece and included the talented voices of Emmy winner 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”) that is set to premiere on Fox in 2023.
This sounds like a new branch on the fun zany tree growing from the rich soil of Dan’s imagination. Krapopolis is the story of a family of humans, gods, and monsters running the world’s first cities without killing each other.
I can’t WAIT for this fan experience and am looking forward to sliding into KRAPOPOLIS at the engaging, fun-for-all-ages, outdoor activation in front of the San Diego Convention Center at the Children’s Museum Park, located at W. Island Avenue and Front Street. Open to the public from Thursday, July 21 (10:00 AM – 7:00 PM) through Sunday, July 24 (10:00 AM – 4:00 PM), attendees will travel 40 feet up to go down a 70-foot slide for the ride of their life on the center of the activation. Throughout the space, fans also will find a photo opportunity with the characters from the series and a chance to enter sweepstakes to win a trip for two to Greece.
Fans also can experience the newly revealed Medusa Instagram game, available via QR code within the space, and see how long they can avoid her gaze before they get stoned! Additionally, the characters Stupendous, Tyrannis, Deliria, Shlub, and Hippocampus will be towering over Comic-Con attendees on new artwork, which will be revealed on the colossal Omni Hotel in downtown San Diego starting on July 19.
The KRAPOPOLIS creative team and voice actors, including Harmon, executive producer, and showrunner Jordan Young, supervising director Pete Michels and stars Berry, Murphy, and Trussell, will participate in the comedy’s first-ever Comic-Con panel in room 6BCF in the Convention Center on Saturday, July 23, at 2:45 PM. The hour-long panel also will give fans an early sneak peek at exclusive content from the series and discuss their plans for KRAPOPOLIS, which marks the first-ever animated series to be curated entirely on the blockchain by FOX Entertainment’s Web3 media company, Blockchain Creative Labs.
Within the Convention Center, fans can visit FOX Entertainment’s first-ever Comic-Con booth for exclusive KRAPOPOLIS merchandise sold in partnership with Toddland, and a photo opportunity with characters from the series. On Saturday, July 23, at 4:30 PM, attendees can meet the cast and creative team and receive autographed KRAPOPOLIS posters. Tickets for the signing will be distributed at booth #4423 on Saturday morning on a first-come, first serve basis.
Wholly owned by FOX Entertainment and produced by its Emmy-winning animation studio, Bento Box Entertainment, KRAPOPOLIS is an outgrowth of Harmon’s direct animation deal with FOX Entertainment. 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. Within her extended Olympian family – forged in patricide and infidelity – she’s known as the trashy one. Berry is “Shlub,” Tyrannis’ father, a mantitaur (half centaur [horse + human], half manticore [lion + human + scorpion]). He is oversexed and underemployed, claims to be an artist, and has literally never paid for anything, in any sense of that word, for his entire life. 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.
Additionally, in partnership with studio, 20th Television Animation, a part of Disney Television Studios, FOX’s beloved animated series, BOB’S BURGERS (Friday, July 22, 3:00 PM, Indigo), THE GREAT NORTH (Friday, July 22, 7:00 PM, 6BCF), THE SIMPSONS (Saturday, July 23, 11:30 AM, Ballroom 20) and FAMILY GUY (Saturday, July 23, 1:15 PM, Ballroom 20) will have panels throughout the Comic-Con weekend.
