FOX’s adult-aimed animated television show Krapopolis, created and produced by Emmy-winning Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon, is set to release in the fall. According to a press release, the first two episodes of the show will air on Sunday, September 24, following its NFL doubleheader. The following week, the show will join its Animation Domination programming block and will follow The Simpsons at 8:30 p.m.
Krapopolis, a comedy series that centers on a family of humans, gods, and monsters in Ancient Greece, features voice actors including Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham, The IT Crowd star Richard Ayoade, The Midnight Gospel actor Duncan Trussell, and Matt Berry from What We Do in the Shadows among its high-profile cast. The show’s content will be influenced by fans who own a Krapopolis Krap Chicken – a non-fungible token (NFT) that allows holders to vote on show components, see exclusive token-gated content, participate in gamified experiences like scavenger hunts, access a Discord channel, and attend in-person events with the cast.
Krapopolis released its Krap Chicken NFT collection in August 2022, and cost 0.18 ETH, or $336, to mint on the show’s website. According to data from NFT marketplace OpenSea, although the collection has raked in 512 ETH – over $956,000 in secondary sales – the collection’s floor price is trading below its mint price at 0.0824, or $154 ETH. Despite lower prices, many entertainment creators and industry executives are turning to Web3 as a mechanism to disrupt traditional Hollywood production regimes.
FOX’s Krapopolis is the network’s first blockchain-based series and is set to release in the fall. The show’s content will be influenced by fans who own a Krapopolis Krap Chicken NFT, which allows holders to vote on show components, see exclusive token-gated content, participate in gamified experiences, and more.
