\nDan Harmon, the television writer behind hit shows like Community and Rick and Morty, has revealed the main cast for his upcoming animated series Krapopolis, and chances are, you\u2019re gonna love it. According to a Variety report, the upcoming Fox series has cast Hannah Waddingham ( Ted Lasso, Game of Thrones), Richard Ayoade ( The IT Crowd, Travel Man, Disenchantment), Matt Berry ( What We Do in the Shadows, The IT Crowd, Toast of London), Pam Murphy ( Mapleworth Murders, Weird City), and, last by not least, podcast host and The Midnight Gospel \u2018s Duncan Trussell, in its lead roles. And, if the cast alone already has you pretty stoked for the show, just wait until you hear what kinds of characters each of these comedy stars are playing. In Krapoplis, a comedy series centered around \u201ca flawed family of humans, gods, and monsters that tries to run one of the world\u2019s first cities without killing each other,\u201d Ayoade will be voicing main character Tyrannis, the mortal son of a goddess and the well-intentioned King of Krapopolis who\u2019s simply trying \u201cto make do in a city that lives up to its name.\u201d Waddingham will be bringing to life Deliria, Tyrannis\u2019 mother and the proclaimed goddess of self-destruction and questionable choices. Berry will be playing Shlub, Tyrannis\u2019 mantitaur (half centaur [horse + human], half manticore [lion + human + scorpion] father who is \u201coversexed, underemployed, claims to be an artist, and has literally never paid for anything, in any sense of that word, for his entire life.\u201d Last but not least, both Murphy and Trussell will be playing Tyrannis\u2019 siblings. Murphy will be voicing Stupendous, Tyrannis\u2019 cyclops half-sister, and Trussell will be playing Hippocampus, the biological nightmare (quarter centaur [horse + human], quarter manticore [lion + human + scorpion] and half mermaid [human + fish]) that is Tyrannis\u2019 half-brother. Krapopolis is the first show to come out of Harmon\u2019s exclusive animation deal with Fox, and will feature Harmon as the creator and executive producer of the series. In addition to Harmon, Jordan Young ( The Simpsons, BoJack Horseman) is also attached to the project as its executive producer and showrunner. As of right now, no release date or additional information has been announced, but it feels pretty likely we\u2019ll be hearing more about Krapopolis \u2014 including a 2022 release date \u2014 before the end of the year.<\/p>\n
