Dan Harmon, the creator behind Rick and Morty, is launching an all-new animated series for Fox titled Krapopolis, which is the first animated series curated on the blockchain.
Fox announced Harmon's Krapopolis during its Upfront presentation. The company and Bento Box are also using the introduction of Krapopolis to enter the NFT (Non-fungible token) business to create, sell, and manage NFTs, tokens and digital goods.
"We are presenting a fall lineup that builds upon FOX's legacy of bold stories and truth-telling-characters; stories that meet and reflect the cultural moment. FOX believes it's a time for series that offer hope and to speak to American audiences with themes of reinvention and second chances," Charlie Collier, CEO, FOX Entertainment said. "Alongside our programming focus, we are forging ahead with a clear, 100% ad-supported vision. FOX's acquisition of free-ad-focused Tubi has allowed us to expand our broadcast offering, bringing scale across both linear and streaming, all without any paywalls or subscriptions. This is a strategy that deepens FOX's relationship with our audience and advertising partners, and it will continue to set FOX apart."
Set in mythical ancient Greece, Krapopolis is centered on a flawed family of humans, gods and monsters that tries to run one of the world's first cities without killing each other. Fox is debuting a dedicated marketplace for Krapopolis that will curate and sell digital goods, ranging from NFTs of one-of-a-kind character and background art and GIFs, as well as tokens that provide exclusive social experiences to fans.
