What we think Krapopolis will be about
Thankfully, we don’t need to speculate too much here, because actually have some information about what “Krapopolis” will be about. Here is the synopsis:
[A] highly anticipated new animated series from Dan Harmon, Krapopolis centers on a flawed family of humans, gods and monsters that tries to run one of the world’s first cities without killing each other.
The show tells the story of Tyrannis, King of Krapopolis, who is a mortal son of a goddess and a mantitaur, described as a “half centaur [horse + human], half manticore [lion + human + scorpion].” He’s running the city, making questionable decisions, and trying to deal with his very interesting and dysfunctional family. As you can see in the clip, Tyrannis’ current problem is Medusa on the loose. Medusa, of course, can turn people to stone just by looking at them. His family isn’t helping matters one bit, with his goddess mother drunkenly turning into a bird and lamenting ceilings, and his father talking about having sex with Medusa. His encounter with the famed Gorgon sister only turns one part of him to stone, you see, and … well, you get the idea.
Krapopolis: Everything We Know So Far About Dan Harmon’s Adult Animated Comedy

“Krapopolis” is coming to Fox, and is going take us back to one of Europe’s first bustling cities, where gods, humans, and monsters co-exist. According to the text under the preview clip that was released on YouTube, this show isn’t just another comedy:
Well then. An NFT show? I cannot be the only one who doesn’t quite get the appeal of NFTs (please don’t try to explain them to me), but it will be interesting to see how that part of the series does. And for everyone who doesn’t care about NFTs (we are legion!), we’re curious to see what the new animated show from the mind behind “Community” looks like.

What we know about the cast and crew of Krapopolis
Pam Murphy (“Mapleworth Murders”) lends her voice to the character of Stupendous, Tyrannis’ half sister, the daughter of Deliria and a cyclops. Duncan Trussell (“The Midnight Gospel”) plays Hippocampus, Tyrannis’ half brother, son of Shlub and a mermaid and described as “a hot mess, biologically speaking.”
Maurice LaMarche (“Futurama,” “Animaniacs”) posted a pic of himself on Instagram in front of a sign for the show, saying, “I guess I can talk about this now,” and the voiceover in the clip sort of sounds like him (or is it “Community” actor Keith David?), but we don’t have any information about LeMarche’s specific involvement yet.
