Dan Harmon Developing New Animated Series for Fox Set in Mythical Greece

Dan Harmon is known for helping create popular shows like Community and Rick and Morty. Now, he has a new animated series coming to Fox. The show currently does not have a title and casting is underway, but we do know that it will take place in mythical Greece and is set to premiere in 2022.

Centered on a flawed family of humans, gods and monsters that tries to run one of the world’s first cities without killing each other, the series is an outgrowth of the direct animation deal Harmon and FOX Entertainment unveiled last year.

Michael Thorn, president of entertainment for Fox Entertainment said in a statement:

“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. 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 has created some great stuff, so I’m definitely excited to hear more about this one.
