Yep. He's helming the reboot of the Flintstones cartoon and apparently a film.
The show will arrive in 2013 on FOX.
It should be noted that McFarlane is a huge Hanna Barbera fan and once wrote for Dexter's Laboratory. He's been trying to win the rights to the Flintstones for some time now but FOX was hesitant for a long while. No longer.
No one's saying whether the show will be similar to Family Guy or a family sitcom. I'm expecting a mix of both. I'm also expecting that Seth McFarlane will use the Flintstones as an opportunity to show that he can create a different kind of cartoon not much like the trio he's most famous for on television.
*I should amend this. Didn't know that McFarlane actually worked for Hanna-Barbera and also wrote for Johnny Bravo and Cow and Chicken.
