The animated series Bedrock would be set 20 years after the events of The Flintstones with Banks serving as executive producer and voicing an adult Pebbles Flintstone. Bedrock has been in the works since 2019. "In the show, Fred Flintstone is on the brink of retirement and 20-something Pebbles is embarking on her own career," according to Variety. "As the Stone Age gives way to a shiny and enlightened new Bronze Age, the residents of Bedrock will find this evolution harder than a swing from Bamm-Bamm’s club." The project will be written and co-executive produced by Lindsay Kerns, whose past credits include Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, DC Super Hero Girls and Trolls: The Beat Goes On! The Flintstones originally ran on ABC from 1960 to 1966, spawning several spinoffs, specials and a 1994 live-action movie. “Long before the Simpsons and Springfield, the Griffins and Quahog or even when the Belchers started serving burgers on Ocean Avenue, there were the Flintstones and Bedrock,” said Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn. “Their imprint on the animation universe is undeniable and the idea of adapting it for today’s audience is a challenge we here at Fox are very much looking forward to taking on with Warner Bros., Elizabeth and Lindsay. No pressure whatsoever, really.”

Maybe MeTV should have stuck with the original Flintstones a LITTLE longer...

It will still be on every Sunday morning for and hour and a half. It might even make a return to primetime if the Addams Family don't catch on.

This looks interesting. It'll be cool to see the characters evolve and adapt to the changing times. I rather see this than have them be in the same timeline.
