Fox has greenlit more seasons of three of its adult animated series: “Universal Basic Guys,” “Grimsburg,” and “Krapopolis.”

“Grimsburg” and “Universal Basic Guys” are both returning for Season 3, while “Krapopolis” has been renewed for Season 5.

“Krapopolis,” which has received a Season 5 order ahead of Season 3, “is set in mythical ancient Greece and tells the story of a dysfunctional family of humans, gods and monsters trying to run one of the world’s first cities, while also trying their best to not kill each other in the process. The series centers on Deliria (Hannah Waddingham), goddess of self-destruction and questionable choices. As petty as she is powerful, Deliria is only interested in defending civilization if it means she’ll get more worshipers out of it than her frenemies up on Mt. Olympus,” according to the official description.

Richard Ayoade, Matt Berry, Pam Murphy and Duncan Trussell also star.

The show was created by Dan Harmon,...

Exclusive: Fox is continuing with its animation fix. The network has renewed three of its animated series — Grimsburg, Krapoplis and Universal Basic Guys.

This follows its bumper deal to renew long-running hits The Simpsons, Family Guy and Bob’s Burgers, as well as returning series American Dad, for four more seasons.

Grimsburg, which stars Jon Hamm, is returning for Season 3, Krapopolis returns for Season 5 and Universal Basic Guys is back for Season 3.

Grimsburg, which premiered in January 2024, centers on Marvin Flute (Hamm), who may be the greatest detective ever to catch a cannibal clown and correctly identify a mid-century modern armoire. But there’s one mystery he still can’t crack — himself. To do that he must return to Grimsburg, a town where everyone has a secret or three, and redeem himself in the eyes of his fellow detectives, his ferocious ex-wife and his lovably unstable son.

One of the funniest comedies of the 2000s will soon become available to watch for free as fans await its long-gestating film adaptation. The award-winning sitcom, Community, lands an imminent streaming debut on Tubi.

Tubi confirmed that Community will begin streaming on its free-of-charge service on Mar. 1. This is good news for fans of the hit series who aren't Peacock subscribers as the show has been available on the NBCUniversal streamer since last April. Also, it allows Tubi's growing viewership base to see the sitcom, considering over 97 million active users were on the Fox Corporation-owned service in 2024.

Fox is getting an early start — very early, in fact — on the future of its animated series Krapopolis.

The network has ordered a fourth season of the show from creator Dan Harmon, which is set in a mythical version of ancient Greece where humans, gods and monsters intermingle. The early renewal is nothing new for Krapopolis, which by the time it premiered in September 2023 had already been picked up for three seasons. With the long production cycle for animated shows, ordering seasons well in advance can ensure an uninterrupted flow of episodes.

News of the renewal was announced late Thursday at Comic-Con in San Diego. The show’s second season is set to premiere in September.

“For all our Krap-devotees, there was no better place to decree another season of Krapopolis than the annual San Diego Comic-Con fan fest and no one better to deliver the proclamation than our brilliant creator and executive producer,...

Krapopolis then will become part of the network’s Animation Domination block from Sunday, October 1, where it will air at 8:30 p.m. after The Simpsons and before Bob’s Burgers and Family Guy.

Fox previously shifted Krapopolis to the 2023-24 season, shaking up its plans to premiere the series in a four-episode, two-hour block in May.

Krapopolis has had a very long gestation period. Harmon signed a direct deal with the broadcast network in July 2020 with a series commitment. In February 2021, the then-untitled show was handed a formal series order, making it...

Dan Harmon’s new animated series “Krapopolis” has set its long-awaited premiere date at Fox.

The series will debut with a special two-episode preview on Sunday, Sept. 24 immediately following the NFL doubleheader that night.

Fox has not announced its full fall schedule at the time of this publishing, but the network says that “Krapopolis” will make its regular timeslot premiere on Sunday, Oct. 1 at 8:30 pm Et/Pt as part of the network’s “Animation Domination” block. “The Simpsons” will lead into the new show at 8 pm, followed by “Bob’s Burgers” at 9 pm and “Family Guy” at 9:30 pm.

“Krapopolis” was first commissioned at Fox back in June 2020, when Harmon signed a broadcast network-only exclusive direct animation deal. It will be Fox’s first wholly owned animated series.

It was formally ordered to series in February 2021. The series was originally intended to debut in 2022 before being pushed to May 2023 and now September.

After being publicly fired from the show he created, it seemed Dan Harmon was done with "Community" forever. Rarely, if ever, had a mainstream U.S. television network rehired a volatile showrunner after parting ways with them. Then again, "Community" always had a David and Goliath spirit and a surprising resilience to it, so anything was possible. Still, when NBC and Sony Pictures TV decided to bring Harmon back and hand him the keys to his show once again after an underwhelming fourth season without him, Harmon didn't have time to take a victory lap. Instead, as he relayed to Uproxx in an interview, he had one question: "Who the hell is gonna write the show"?

Because the negotiations to get him back took a little while to iron out, Harmon and his core team felt like they were already behind the eight ball when it came to season 5. "So...

Updated: The network upfronts are once again front-and-center for the television industry as major players gather in New York May 15-17 for the springtime ritual of presenting programming plans for the upcoming TV season.

Upfronts are always a hectic time, but this year it’s even more so because of the writers strike that began May 2. Writers and many actors are sitting out the upfront presentations in solidarity with the Writers Guild of America. The promise of WGA pickets surrounding all major events spurred Netflix to make a hasty decision to switch to a virtual presentation rather than an in-person event at the company’s Paris Theater.

As content chiefs outline their plans for the 2022-2023 television season, here is a running list of new drama and comedy series orders handed out by ABC, Disney, CBS, Warner Bros. Discovery, NBC, Fox, the CW and other major players in the upfront.

Exclusive: Krapopolis, the animated Fox comedy that scored a season three renewal ahead of its first season premiere, has a new showrunner.

Alex Rubens has replaced Jordan Young for seasons two and three. Rubens was put in charge of season two and three while Young was still producing season one.

Rubens has worked closely with creator Dan Harmon on a number of projects; he was a writer on Harmon’s Community and he was a writer and co-exec producer on the Harmon-co-created Rick and Morty as well as exec producing series such as The Twilight Zone.

Young served as showrunner on season one, which will launch in the 2023/24 season. Young was brought on to help launch Krapopolis, working under Harmon’s supervision to handle the series’ day-to-day activities. Young will be credited as executive producer on season one.

It comes after Deadline revealed that Krapopolis scored a third-season renewal before...

The Rick and Morty episode "Full Meta Jackrick" features an incredibly intricate joke that truly demonstrates the show's genius. Rick and Morty has long-established its competency in weaving elaborate narratives laden with meta-humor. Rick and Morty season 6, however, featured possibly the show's most meta episode yet, with an overarching joke as complicated as it is subtle.

Rick and Morty season 6, episode 7, "Full Meta Jackrick," follows the titular adventurers trapped in a complex, self-aware narrative loop, journeying through the Meta Reality. The episode is a sequel to Rick and Morty season 4, episode 6, "Never Ricking Morty," featuring the return of the villainous Story Lord, and the continuation of the self-aware story-telling deconstruction. One character introduced in "Full Meta Jackrick," however, might be the most meta Rick and Morty joke to date.

For a good long while, it seemed that the parody had become the lowest possible form of comedy. With such abhorrent cinematic garbage piles like the works of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer dominating the form for nearly a decade, it felt like almost no one even knew how to make a decent parody anymore, let alone a good one.

Enter Dan Harmon. Thanks to his groundbreaking sitcom "Community" and its numerous episodes that parodied everything from specific classic movies to genres, he and his writers proved that parody could be more than just empty references and callbacks. Putting down-to-earth characters who go to a community college inside a pseudo-zombie apocalypse, as in one episode, is an extension of the way Edgar Wright made films first and parodies second in his early work like "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz."

When Harmon teamed up with co-creator Justin Roiland for "Rick and Morty,...

Update 2/25: Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw and Simon Kinberg’s Genre Films have issued a statement about the end of The Twilight Zone series.

We greatly enjoyed our time working on The Twilight Zone — particularly when the real world around us often felt more and more like another dimension. We cherished the opportunity to collaborate with so many talented writers, actors and crewmembers. After 20 unique episodes, we have told the stories that we wanted to tell, and CBS All Access was gracious in their understanding of our decision. It was an honor and a privilege to bring audiences a modern re-imagining of Rod Serling’s iconic creation.

Previous 2/24: The second season of the reboot of The Twilight Zone was submitted for your approval, to borrow the famous phrase of original sci-fi creator Rod Serling. Apparently, there wasn’t enough approval, as the CBS All Access show won’t continue...

Jordan Peele’s “Twilight Zone” reboot has been canceled after two seasons at CBS All Access, TheWrap has confirmed.

The horror anthology series wrapped its most recent season last June with a set of episodes boasting a star-studded cast including Morena Baccarin, Kylie Bunbury, Jenna Elfman, Ethan Embry, Sky Ferreira, Tavi Gevinson, Topher Grace, Tony Hale, Gillian Jacobs, David Krumholtz, Thomas Lennon, Sophia Macy, Natalie Martinez, Joel McHale, Chris Meloni, Gretchen Mol, Paula Newsome, Billy Porter, Jimmi Simpson, Jurnee Smollett, Daniel Sunjata and Damon Wayans Jr.

Jordan Peele served as host and executive producer on the reboot, which he developed alongside Simon Kinberg and Marco Ramirez.

“Jordan Peele, Simon Kinberg and the entire production team truly reimagined The Twilight Zone for the modern age,” said Julie McNamara, executive vice president and head of programming for Paramount+. “They upheld the classic series’ legacy of socially conscious storytelling and pushed today’s...

The Revenge of the Nerds reboot is finally moving forward, courtesy of Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. MacFarlane is developing a new take on the classic comedy at 20th Century Studios with identical twin comedians Keith and Kenny Lucas set to star. The Lucas brothers are also co-writing the script with Alex Rubens, and MacFarlane will produce under his Fuzzy Door Productions banner alongside Erica Higgins.

Per the report, the Seth MacFarlane reboot will not be a straight remake of the original 1984 movie, which has faced criticism in recent years its depictions of rape. The new Revenge of the Nerds is instead described as a "contemporary reimagining" that will "pontificate about today's nerd culture and what even constitutes a geek in the 21st century."

On the big screen, the Lucas brothers might be best recognized from their roles as Keith and Kenny Yang in the 2014 sequel 22 Jump Street). Kenny...

Seth MacFarlane is reviving the age old rivalry between jocks and nerds. The comedic actor is developing a reboot of the seminal ’80s comedy “Revenge of the Nerds” at 20th Century Studios.

Keith and Kenny Lucas, identical twin brothers best known for their scene-stealing roles in “22 Jump Street,” are set to write and star in the film. They are co-writing the script with Alex Rubens. MacFarlane will produce the reboot through his production company Fuzzy Door, along with Erica Huggins, who brought the project to the Lucas brothers and is spearheading development.

The upcoming version won’t be a remake of the 1984 comedy, which hasn’t aged all that well and has been criticized in recent years for depictions of rape. Instead, the contemporary reimagining will pontificate about today’s nerd culture and what even constitutes a geek in the 21st century.

The Twilight Zone Season 2 Episode 9

Time loops are awesome. Time loops are usually your favorite episode of any given sci-fi show, or, in the case of Russian Doll, the premise of a great sci-fi show. That said, because of the circular nature of time loops, it’s hard to do something new with time loops. In the penultimate episode of season 2 of the new Twilight Zone, writer Alex Rubens tries—and mostly succeeds—in giving a new edge to a time loop story. In “Try, Try” the Zone presents a spin on the usual time loop premise: What if a bad person was caught in a time loop?

The writing of “Try, Try” is fairly tight and interesting, but you can’t really talk about why this episode works without talking about its two stars, Kylie Bunbury and Topher Grace. The emotional rollercoaster...

“Community” fans, prepare to break out your #SixSeasonsAndAMovie battlecry once more: Dan Harmon says conversations are “happening that people would want to be happening” about a reunion movie and that he’s “very, very excited about the coming months.”

“I can tell people for sure that the enthusiasm for ‘Community,’ both for all of this time and the resurgence of it [on Netflix], there’s always an aspect of that affects the marketplace,” Harmon, who created the series, told TheWrap on Friday. “And when the marketplace gets affected, conversations happen. And when conversations happen, things happen.”

“I mean, when you’re part of the ‘Community’ family, you learn never to raise expectations, keep ‘em nice and low and then be pleasantly surprised,” he continued. “So I can say that there are conversations happening that people would want to be happening and that I’m very, very excited about the coming months.

Nearly all of the original “Community” cast will reunite later this month for a charity table read, Sony Pictures Television announced Thursday.

Series stars Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Jim Rash, Ken Jeong and Donald Glover will join creator Dan Harmon to read the Season 5 episode titled “Cooperative Polygraphy.” The special will stream on the “Community” YouTube page on May 18 at 2 p.m. Pt and will also include a fan Q&a.

“Isn’t It Romantic” and “Finals Girls” director Todd Strauss-Schulson in talks to direct “Zombie Brother,” an action-comedy from Stx Films and China-based Tencent Pictures.

The film is an adaptation of Tencent’s digital comic book of the same name, which has garnered more than 24 billion views over 241 episodes. “Zombie Brother” has already been adapted into an animated series that has attracted more than 3.7 billion views across its first two seasons, as well as a stage play.

“Todd is the perfect choice for ‘Zombie Brother.’ His films thrive with a heart, energy, comic pace and visual inventiveness all their own,” said Stx Films chairman Adam Fogelson.

Tencent Pictures, Stx Films and Free Association — Channing Tatum, Reid Carolin and Peter Kiernan’s shingle — will co-produce “Zombie Brother.” Tatum, Carolin, Kiernan and Michael Parets are producing for Free Association with Tencent’s Edward Cheng and Howard Chen as the executive producers and Conor Zorn serving as producer.

Todd Strauss-Schulson, the director of “Isn’t It Romantic” and “Final Girls,” is in negotiations to direct “Zombie Brother” at STXfilms and Tencent Pictures, STXfilms chairman of the motion picture group Adam Fogelson and Edward Cheng of Tencent announced Monday.

Channing Tatum is producing the live-action film adaptation of “Zombie Brother,” which is based on a series of digital comics and anime shorts from Tencent. The plot for the film is still under wraps, but the Chinese comic series involves a young man trying to escape from a city with his girlfriend after a virus outbreak. Alex Rubens wrote the screenplay with contributions by Ryan Engle.

Since 2011, the digital comic book has earned more than 24 billion views over 241 episodes, and its animated series has attracted more than 3.7 billion views across its first two seasons. The franchise has also been adapted into a stage play, which had a record-breaking run of sold-out shows across the region.

As the host of CBS All Access’ “The Twilight Zone” reboot, Jordan Peele has admirably taken on the Rod Serling role of providing the intro and outro commentary of each episode. Peele’s appearance before the opening and end credits has kept alive a tradition first started by Serling in October 1959, but it’s one Peele blows up entirely in the reboot’s first season finale, “Blurryman.” The episode’s script, written by Alex Rubens, takes a meta approach to the entire franchise in order to debate popular entertainment and art and figure out how and if “The Twilight Zone” represents an intersection of these terms.

The episode begins resembling a normal installment of “The Twilight Zone.” Seth Rogen and “Get Out” breakout Betty Gabriel appear as a couple living in a fiery apocalyptic future. Peele’s narrator enters to give his intro...
