Krapopolis preview
For these ancient gods and goddesses, the world is about to change... forever.
That's the elevator pitch for Krapopolis, FOX's new animated comedy created by Dan Harmon (one of the brains behind Rick and Morty and Community) and being showrun by Jordan Young (co-writer of the brilliant BoJack Horseman).
Set in the milieu of ancient Greece, it revolves around King Tyrannis (voiced by Richard Ayoade) and his family of mythical gods as they and the city of Krapopolis come to terms with the modernising world around them. As well as wrapping his head around the unfamiliar concept of 'civilization', the young ruler also has puberty, girls and his overbearing parents Shlub (Matt Berry) and Deliri (Hannah Waddingham) to navigate.
Already greenlit for a second and third season, FOX clearly sees big things for Krapopolis. And taking its place among the likes of The Simpsons, Family Guy and Bob's Burgers during Sunday evenings' 'FOX Animation Domination' block, it's already mixing it with some bona fide heavyweights.
Prepare yourself for some prehistoric playfulness and anachronistic anarchy. Read on for our guide on how to watch Krapopolis online from anywhere, including the options for those without cable.
How to watch Krapopolis in the US with and without cable
After a couple of delays, Krapopolis will finally make its network premiere on FOX with a double episode at 8/7c on Sunday, September 24.
After that, it will go out on subsequent Sunday evenings at 8.30/7.30c.
If you already have FOX with your cable plan, then you're all set. But if you're a cord-cutter, you'll need to sign up for an OTT streaming service to watch it live.
Sling TV – and specifically its Sling Blue package – is pretty much the lowest you can pay. It includes FOX among its 40+ channels and currently costs $22.50 for your first month with its 50% off introductory offer. It's worth noting however that FOX is only available in certain markets, so check here that yours is eligible here.
Other options include FuboTV from $74.99 a month that you can try with its 7-day FREE trial, and Hulu with Live TV plan from $64.99 per month.
Away from the US? Use a VPN to watch from abroad. There are more details on how this works below.
How to stream Krapopolis online in the US
If you don't have cable and don't want to splash out on a full cable replacement, then Krapopolis will stream on the Hulu streaming platform the very next day after its network airing.
Hulu’s basic plan includes ads but starts from just $7.99 and gives you the chance to try it out first with a 30-day free trial.
Or for even better value for money, you could go for the Disney Plus bundle. It combines Hulu with Disney Plus for only $9.99 a month, or you can add live sport with ESPN+ for $12.99.
So, as well as everything on Hulu, such as Abbott Elementary, What We Do in the Shadows, Love Victor, Snowfall and Normal People, you also get everything Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar and The Simpsons from Disney Plus and top quality live sports from ESPN Plus.
How to watch Krapopolis online from outside your country
If you're away from home when Krapopolis airs, you’ll be unable to watch the show like you normally would due to annoying regional restrictions. Luckily, there’s an easy solution.
Downloading a VPN will allow you to stream online, no matter where you are. It's a simple bit of software that changes your IP address, meaning that you can access on-demand content or live TV just as if you were at home.

Can I watch Krapopolis in other countries?
Strangely with a new show with such obvious pedigree (and such an international cast of voice actors), Krapopolis doesn't yet have an airing date for territories outside the US. So, if you're in the UK or Australia, for example, you'll have to exercise a little patience and keep your ear to the ground.
But remember that if you're an American abroad with a streaming service that would be showing Krapopolis, then you can download a VPN and watch Krapopolis as you normally would.
