Krapopolis Introduces Another Of Harmon’s Flawed Families
Starring in Krapopolis are esteemed actors Richard Ayoade, Matt Berry, Hannah Waddingham, Pam Murphy, Duncan Trussell, and Alanna Ubach. The show not only features this talented cast but also showcases an impressive lineup of guest stars, including Susan Sarandon, Will Forte, Jane Lynch, Yvette Nicole Brown, Dave Franco, Daveed Diggs, Ben Stiller, and Joel McHale.Prior to unleashing the outrageous escapades of the Smith family in the animated sensation Rick and Morty, Harmon first delved into the dynamics within a close-knit assembly of highly peculiar individuals in the live-action NBC sitcom Community. Although the community college study group at the core of Community was not metaphorically a family, they undeniably morphed into one throughout the show's six seasons. The humor in this beloved cult series primarily stemmed from the ever-evolving relationships among the group's eccentric and deeply flawed members as they endeavored to resolve their multitude of issues.
Krapopolis promises to explore the eccentricities of ancient history, offering a mix of outrageous and dark humor that will resonate with fans of Rick and Morty. But the show also puts a spotlight on family dynamics, introducing a diverse cast of characters with their own quirks and creating comedic brilliance through the conflicts that arise when these imperfect individuals try to collaborate. Harmon's dedicated followers can discover the surprises he has in store with his latest ensemble of misfits in the premiere of Krapopolis on Fox, scheduled for September 24th.
