"The very first cartoon character I drew at age two was Fred Flintstone," MacFarlane said in a statement.
"So it's appropriate that events have come full circle, allowing me to produce the newest incarnation of this great franchise. Plus, I think America is finally ready for an animated sitcom about a fat, stupid guy with a wife who's too good for him," he added.
The new animated series will feature MacFarlane's modern-day take on the lives of the Flintstones and the Rubbles, two hard-working middle-class families living with contemporary conveniences in the dinosaur-era town of Bedrock.
Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly said the network hoped to introduce the prehistoric characters to a "whole new generation."
Anything from MacFarlane is guaranteed gold. Expect it to hit, Fall 2013.
