Krapopolis centers on a flawed family of humans, gods, and monsters trying to run one of the world’s first cities without killing each other. Ayoade voices Tyrannis, the mortal son of a goddess. He’s the benevolent King of Krapopolis trying to make do in a city that lives up to its name. Waddingham plays Deliria, Tyrannis’ mother, goddess of self-destruction and questionable choices. Within her extended Olympian family—forged in patricide and infidelity—she’s known as the trashy one. Berry voices Shlub, Tyrannis’ father, a mantitaur (half centaur, half manticore [lion + human + scorpion]). He is oversexed and underemployed; he claims to be an artist and has literally never paid for anything in his entire life. Murphy plays Stupendous, Tyrannis’ half-sister, daughter of Deliria and a cyclops. Lastly, Trussell plays Hippocampus, Tyrannis’ half-brother, offspring of Shlub and a mermaid, and, obviously, a hot mess, biologically speaking. So yes, it’s definitely a little complicated, and as dysfunctional as the ancient Greek gods and goddesses were.
Yes, Krapopolis is that series—one that was “curated entirely on the Blockchain,” which means there will be 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.” Apparently the first of these NFTs is available now, and it’s the image that we are using in our header.
As a writer and producer Harmon has created Emmy-winning series such as Community, The Sarah Silverman Program, and Rick And Morty, which just aired its season five finale. Writer/producer/animator Jordan Young (Drawn Together, Bojack Horseman) joins Harmon as the executive producer and showrunner for Krapopolis.
