The creator of The Family Guy, SETH MacFarlane has been granted the rights to the 1960s animated series of The Flinstones.
Fred, Wilma, Barney and Betty celebrated their 50th anniversary last year and as a television and film property the updated Flintstones will air sometime this year although a broadcast date has not yet been announced.
The deal involved negotiations between 20th Century Fox TV and Warner Bros Television, which took over the rights to The Flintstones when animation studio Hanna-Barbera Cartoons was absorbed by Time Warner in 1996.
In 1994, Universal Pictures released a live-action Flintstones movie starring John Goodman and Rosie O'Donnell, followed by the prequel The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas in 2000.
