Fox Renews 'Universal Basic Guys,' 'Grimsburg' and 'Krapopolis'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fox has greenlit more seasons of three of its adult animated
series: "Universal Basic Guys," "Grimsburg," and "Krapopolis."

"Grimsburg" and "Universal Basic Guys" are both returning for
Season 3, while "Krapopolis" has been renewed for Season 5.

"Krapopolis," which has received a Season 5 order ahead of
Season 3, "is set in mythical ancient Greece and tells the
story of a dysfunctional family of humans, gods and monsters
trying to run one of the world's first cities, while also
trying their best to not kill each other in the process. The
series centers on Deliria (Hannah Waddingham), goddess of
self-destruction and questionable choices. As petty as she is
powerful, Deliria is only interested in defending civilization
if it means she'll get more worshipers out of it than her
frenemies up on Mt. Olympus," according to the official
description.

Richard Ayoade, Matt Berry, Pam Murphy and Duncan Trussell
also star.

The show was created by Dan Harmon, who also serves as
executive producer, and is produced by Fox Entertainment
Studios and Bento Box Entertainment. Steve Levy, Eric Kaplan
and showrunner Alex Rubens executive produce.

"Grimsburg," starring Jon Hamm, follows "Marvin Flute, who may
be the greatest detective ever to catch a cannibal clown and
correctly identify a mid-century modern armoire. But there's
one mystery he still can't crack - himself. To do that he must
return to Grimsburg, a town where everyone has a secret or
three, and redeem himself in the eyes of his fellow detectives,
his ferocious ex-wife and his lovably unstable son," according
to the official logline.

Other series stars include Erinn Hayes, Rachel Dratch, Alan
Tudyk, Kevin Michael Richardson and Greg Chun.

"Grimsburg" is produced by Bento Box Entertainment and owned by
Fox Entertainment. Catlan McClelland and Matthew Schlissel
created the series. Executive producers include Hamm, Connie
Tavel, Gail Berman, Hend Baghdady and showrunner Chadd Gindin.

"Universal Basic Guys" follows "two brothers, Mark and Hank
Hoagies (Adam Malamut), who lose their jobs to automation and
are given $3,000 a month in a new basic income program. Now,
they're using their free time and free money to find purpose in
a world where they're no longer needed," according to the
series logline.

Supporting cast members include Talia Genevieve, Fred Armisen
and Ally Maki.

The series is co-produced by Fox Entertainment through Bento
Box Entertainment and Sony Pictures Television. Series creators
Adam and Craig Malamut serve as executive producers and
showrunners. Shane Kosakowski executive produces.

The news comes just a month after the network renewed
"The Simpsons," "Family Guy" and "Bob's Burgers" for four more
seasons each. At the time, it was also revealed that
"American Dad" is officially returning to Fox, also securing a
four-season renewal.
