Dan Harmon Sets Animated Ancient Greece Comedy Series at Fox
------------------------------------------------------------
Dan Harmon has set up the first series under his broadcast
network-only exclusive direct animation deal with Fox
Entertainment.
The untitled series is set in mythical ancient Greece. It
centers on a flawed family of humans, gods and monsters that
tries to run one of the world's first cities without killing
each other. Fox is targeting a 2022 debut for the show. Voice
casting is currently underway and will be announced in the
coming months.
As part of Harmon's deal with Fox, Fox Entertainment will
fully finance and wholly own the series, with Fox's Bento Box
Entertainment providing the animation. It is the first series
to move forward under Fox's broadcast direct model.
"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 Michael Thorn,
president of entertainment for Fox Entertainment. "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."
Harmon most recently co-created the hit Adult Swim series
"Rick and Morty," which recently aired its fourth season. The
show has proven to be a breakout hit, winning the Emmy for
best animated program in 2018 and 2020. Harmon previously
created and executive produced the hit NBC comedy "Community,"
which ran for six seasons and earned multiple Emmy nominations.
He also executive produced the animated feature "Anomalisa" in
2015.
He is repped by CAA and Sloane Offer.
Fox has made a major push into animation of late, building on
network cornerstones like "The Simpsons," "Family Guy," and
"Bob's Burgers." Other Fox animated shows include
"Duncanville," "Bless the Harts," and "The Great North." Fox
has also ordered the animated series "Housebroken," which
features the voices of Lisa Kudrow, Clea DuVall, and Will
Forte among others.
