Dan Harmon, the Emmy-winning co-creator of Rick and Morty, is continuing to develop a new animated comedy series at Fox, set in mythical ancient Greece.According to
IndieWire, Fox just announced details of the upcoming series, revealing that the story is set to unfold in ancient Greece, and will be 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." The outlet also noted that voice casting for the series is underway, with more announcements expected to follow at a later date."Leave it to Dan Harmon to turn the mythos of early Greek civilization into remarkably sharp commentary on today's politics, celebrity, and pop culture," said Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn. "This project is an incredibly irreverent family comedy as told by one of the town's most inventive storytellers. We are proud to be partnered with Dan on this series, which strengthens our hold on the animation space and, as we continue to build Fox Entertainment, marks an important first step for us with our first fully owned scripted property."The new project stems from
Fox's 2020 animation deal with Harmon, which included a series commitment for an animated comedy show intended to premiere on the network in the spring of 2022. Fox Entertainment is producing the series, and Fox-owned Bento Box Entertainment, the studio behind Bob's Burgers, is serving as the animation house on the project.
Fox has quite a packed slate of adult animation these days, having in the past couple of years added to its roster of The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Bob's Burgers, along with Bless the Harts, Duncanville, The Great North, and the still-to-come Housebroken. However, this new Harmon project will be Fox Entertainment's first fully-owned animated series.
Outside of this new series, Rick & Morty fans have plenty to look forward to with the future of Adult Swim's hit animated sci-fi sitcom. During an Adult Swim Con Rick & Morty panel last year, Harmon shared a sneak peek of Season 5 featuring Rick's nemesis, Mr. Nimbus, and also gave updates on Season 5 production and the status of Season 6.
