Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Fresh off the show’s first Emmy nomination, Fox is piling on more “Krapopolis.” The mythical animated comedy set in ancient Greece has been picked up for a fourth season, creator Dan Harmon revealed on Thursday to fans at Comic-Con International in San Diego.

Harmon and fellow exec producers Steve Levy and Alex Rubens (who is also showrunner) were on hand to reveal the pickup news and discuss how the show has progressed through its first two seasons, and what viewers might expect next.

The producers also celebrated the news that star Hannah Waddingham has just been nominated for this year’s Emmys in the outstanding character voice-over performance category, for playing Deliria (in particular, via the Emmy-submitted episode “Big Man on Hippocampus”). “Krapopolis” is set in “mythical ancient Greece and tells the story of a dysfunctional family of humans, gods and monsters that try their hand at running the world’s first cities – without trying to kill each other, that is,” according to its official logline. “For all our ‘Krap’-devotees, there was no better place to decree another season of ‘Krapopolis’ than the annual San Diego Comic-Con fan fest and no one better to deliver the proclamation than our brilliant creator and executive producer, Dan Harmon,” said Fox TV network president Michael Thorn. “Dan and his team have created something special with this series, and now that Season Four is etched in stone, we’ll be keeping those once-in-a-millennia laughs rolling on Fox Animation Domination.” The voice cast includes Richard Ayoade (“The IT Crowd”) as Tyrannis, the mortal son of a goddess; Hannah Waddingham (“Ted Lasso”) as Deliria, Tyrannis’ mother and goddess of.
