10 TV Spin-offs You Didn't Know Were Happening

9. Bedrock

The Flintstones
ABC

The original Flintstones series is one of the most successful animated shows of all time, right up there with the likes of The Simpsons.

It's one of those "household name" properties that everybody knows - which is why the news of an upcoming spinoff series is bound to excite fans of all ages.

Part spinoff, part sequel, and part reboot, the new show - titled Bedrock - will be set two decades after the original series, following the Flintstone family as the Stone Age gives way to the Bronze Age. Fan-favourite Elizabeth Banks is signed on to voice a now twenty-something Pebbles, and with Banks also producing the project, it seems as though Pebbles will be the central character in the ensemble.

Interestingly, Bedrock is also being described as an "adult animated comedy". Given that The Flintstones is usually suitable for children and families, quite how "adult" this series will get remains to be seen - though it's definitely an interesting prospect!

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
