Raymond Lee stars in "Quantum Leap" This week's Best bets By Staff Writers TV Media Bringing up the past: Everything old is new again — even TV's most famous Stone Age family. The animated pilot "Bedrock" is reportedly picking up steam over at Fox, where the project has been in the works for the past two years. A proposed spi- noff of "The Flintstones," the adult animated series will catch up with the iconic characters in the next chapter of their lives, with Fred on the brink of retire- ment, as the town of Bedrock advances from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age. "Bedrock" recently scored a pilot presentation, which falls shy of an actual pilot commitment but usually indicates the network sees promise in a script or con- cept. But there's bigger news: executive producer Elizabeth Banks ("Cocaine Bear," 2023) will also lead the voice cast, which includes quite a few other famous names. Banks will voice a grown-up version of Pebbles, now a 20-something ready to embark on her own career path. The rest of the announced cast is stacked with voice-over and TV comedy veterans, including Stephen Root ("King of the Hill") as an older Fred Flintstone, Amy Sedaris ("BoJack Horseman") as Wilma, Nicole Byer ("Grand Crew") as Betty, Joe Lo Truglio ("Brooklyn Nine-Nine") as Barney, and Manny Jacinto ("The Good Place") as Bamm- Bamm. Fox Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation are producing "Bedrock." This is the latest ani- mated project being developed by Fox, which went ahead and renewed "Krapopolis" for a third season before Season 1 had even premiered. Fox staples "The Simpsons," "Bob's Burgers" and "Family Guy" also received renewals recently.
