Production
[edit]In June 2020, it was announced that Dan Harmon signed a deal with Fox to create a new adult animated comedy for 2022, with a straight-to-series order.[30] It is Fox Entertainment Studios' first fully owned animated comedy series.
In May 2021, it was announced that the series would be titled Krapopolis.[31] At the same time, Fox stated that it would be "the first-ever animated series curated entirely on the blockchain", and the network would sell NFTs and other digital tie-ins to the series.[31][32] According to Fox, NFT owners "will be able to vote on specific show content and dictate exclusive on-air elements."[33]
In June 2021, it was announced that Jordan Young would be the showrunner for the series.[34]
In October 2022, Fox gave the series an early renewal for a second season ahead of its premiere.[2]
In March 2023, the series was renewed for a third season.[3] In April 2023, it was announced that Alex Rubens is replacing Young as showrunner for the second and third seasons.[35]
In July 2024, the series was renewed for a fourth season.[6]

Reception
[edit]The show has received generally mixed reviews. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 56% with an average rating of 6/10, based on 16 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "Carried by its superb voice cast like Atlas shouldering the Earth, Krapopolis falls short of divine comedy but offers consistent enough chuckles for fans of animated raunch."[38] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 60 out of 100 based on 14 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[39]
