Report: FOX’s “Bedrock” Has A ‘Solid Shot” At Pickup

Posted on by

Deadline is reporting that FOX’s animated sequel series to The Flintstones entitled Bedrock starring Elizabeth Banks has “a solid shot” at a pickup. All signs are pointing towards a positive here as FOX has had the show’s website launched for a few years now and has parked social channels on Instagram and Facebook. Moreover, the animated pilot presentation went down a year ago and with FOX’s Upfronts presentation happening in the next couple of weeks the media conglomerate could be looking to make a big splash with some big announcements.

BEDROCK, a primetime animated adult comedy series continuing the story of everyone’s favorite modern Stone Age family, the Flintstones. BEDROCK catches up with the Flintstone family two decades after the original, with Fred on the brink of retirement and 20-something Pebbles embarking on her own career. As the Stone Age gives way to a shiny and enlightened new Bronze Age, the residents of Bedrock will find this evolution harder than a swing from Bamm-Bamm’s club. The series is a WB TV / FOX co-production.

All of FOX’s Animation Domination programming will have celebrated its season finale by May 19th and the network should have announcements about, at the very least, what of these series will premiere new seasons come Fall 2024 if not the actual premiere dates. The Simpsons, Family Guy, Krapopolis, The Great North, Grimsburg and Bob’s Burgers are all in various levels of production for new seasons and that doesn’t include Universal Basic Guys/The Hoagie Bros. which is slated to premiere later this year as well. It should also be worth noting that WWE Smackdown will be leaving FOX in October of 2024 so now the network has to account for two-hours of programming a week that it has to make up for on top of the fact that Family Guy had moved to Wednesday Night Premieres earlier this year. Still unknown, the future status of FOX’s Housebroken which, as of now, hasn’t been renewed by FOX but does very well in both the ratings and on Hulu.
