The Flintstones are heading back to primetime. Fox Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation (WBA) have announced Bedrock, an adult spin-off of the classic animated sitcom, which they are producing with actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks.
The series is set two decades after the original, as Fred Flintstone prepares to retire and the Stone Age gives way to a shiny and enlightened new Bronze Age. The pilot script will be written by Lindsay Kerns (Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, DC Super Hero Girls, Trolls: The Beat Goes On!).
As well as producing, Banks will voice Pebbles Flintstone, an infant in the original series and now a twenty-something woman embarking on a career. Banks is known for her roles in the Hunger Games and Pitch Perfect movies, and for directing films including Pitch Perfect 2 and the 2019 feature Charlie’s Angels.She voiced Wyldstyle in WBA’s The Lego Movie and its sequel.
