Fox executives say they will invest $100 million in a new set of NFT-based experimental TV shows. To begin this new episode, Fox brought in “Rick and Morty” co-creator Dan Harmon to create an NFT show named “Krapopolis”.

The “Gimmicks” also allows NFT holders to create fictional stories related to their NFT avatars. If the producers of the show like what they read, viewers may see their NFT in the next episode.
Recently, actor Rob McElhaney released an exclusive Web 3 writers’ community named “Adimverse”. . Anyone with NFT for “Adimverse” can cooperate on new innovative projects and enjoy a percentage of the royalty rights.
Appealingly, lots of blue-chip NFTs are steadily making their way into popular movies and TV shows as well. For example, Coinbace will release short films based on the Bored Ape Yacht Club at NFT.NYC. Actress Reese Witherspoon says she is working on a collection based on the NFT Women’s World series too.
Some PFP NFT series’ even have official media partners in Hollywood. For example, Madonna’s director Guy Oseary currently runs the World of Women and Bored Ape Yacht Club series’. The Doodles have signed Billboard’s Julian Holguin, and the Cool Cats are cooperating with the CAA.
Web 3 and NFTs are sure to change the minds of many directors, filmmakers, and producers about storytelling.
