FOX is ordering more krap . . . Krapopolis, that is. Series creator Dan Harmon (Community, Rick & Morty) announced at Comic Con that the show has been renewed through its fourth season. The network has been all-in on this show from the beginning, and even though its premiere was delayed all the way from Fall 2022 to Fall 2023, FOX renewed it through a third season before a single episode had aired. It performed well in the ratings in its freshman year, mostly due to a boost it received from the lead-in of NFL on Sunday nights. Once the football season ended, its numbers dropped, though they were pretty much in line with the other animated shows that aired on Sundays. The second season is currently set to premiere on September 29th.
Since this show was already renewed, this announcement does not impact the current Cancellation/Renewal Score. That stands at 32 renewed sci fi and fantasy entries (42% of shows tracked) vs. 21 cancelled and ending (28%). You can see the breakdown of the numbers and the full list of shows for the current and prior seasons at our Cancellation Watch Page.
Krapopolis is set in mythical ancient Greece and follows a dysfunctional family of humans, gods, and monsters that try to rule over the world’s first cities while also trying not to kill each other in the process. The voice cast includes Hannah Waddingham, Richard Ayoade, Matt Berry, Pam Murphy, and Duncan Trussell.
We are almost at the end of the 2023-24 season and I expect more announcements to come over the next month or so. You can see the status of all this season’s shows at this link. And be sure to follow this site and the Cancelled Sci Fi Twitter Site for updates and breaking news.
