Bedrock was an American animated sitcom television series being developed by Warner Bros. Animation, Brownstone Productions, and Fox Entertainment for Fox. It was to be the seventh Flintstones series after The Flintstones, and acts as a sequel to the latter, set 20 years into the future. It would have aired in prime-time just as the original series did.
The Flintstones and their town of Bedrock are at the dawn of a new era, as Fred is on the brink of retirement and his 20-something daughter, Pebbles, is ready to embark on her own career, at a time where civilization is transitioning from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age.
