FOX will not be taking viewers back to Bedrock after all. The network has canceled its plans for an adult animated sequel to The Flintstones – for now. The network could revisit its plans at a later date, per TV Line.
FOX first announced its plans for Bedrock in April 2021 with Elizabeth Banks starring as the voice of a twenty-something Pebbles ready to start her own career just as Fred is heading into retirement. Stephen Root (Fred), Amy Sedaris (Wilma), Nicole Byer (Betty), Joe Lo Truglio (Barney), and Manny Jacinto (Bamm-Bamm) were added to the cast in March 2023.
The synopsis for the show is as follows:
“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.”
