First released in the year 1960, the American animated series “The Flintstones” became one of the great successes of television. Depicting the story of a middle-class family during the Stone Age, the production was so well received by the public that it gave rise to countless other animated series and live-action films, such as “The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas“, released in the year 2000.
In April 2021, Warner Bros. Animation announced the realization of another animation series inspired by the famous family: “Bedrock”, which will be set in the Bronze Age, 20 years after the events of the 60s.
“Bedrock” still doesn’t have a release date, but to be 100% prepared, remember who are the main characters of “The Flintstones” who should be back in the new animation!
Fred Flintstone
Father of the Flintstone family, Fred works as a dinosaur operator at the Slaterock Gravel Company, and is passionate about bowling, being part of a group called Water Buffalos. He is also responsible for one of the most famous catchphrases in the series, the classic “yabadabadoo”.
Wilma Flintstone
Wilma is Fred’s wife, and a great housewife. During the series, the woman is portrayed as being from a middle-class family, however, in the movie “The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas” (2000), she appears as being from an extremely wealthy family that does not approve of her relationship. because her husband has no money.

Daughter of Fred and Wilma, Pedrita is a sweet girl who, when older, ends up marrying the son of her parents’ best friends. In Bedrock, Warner’s newest series, we will be able to follow another step in the life of the girl who was introduced as a baby at the beginning of the animation. Now, she will be preparing to start her professional career while facing the difficulties of the new Bronze Age.
Barney Rubble
Barney is Fred’s best friend and neighbor, being with him at all times. He also works at the Slaterock Gravel Company and, like his colleague, loves bowling. He is called “runt” by Fred for being a little shorter, and is a bit clumsy and naive. Still, he does come up with some good ideas every now and then — but the credit for them always goes to Flintstone.
Betty Rubble
Also known as Betty McBricker (her maiden name), Betty is the wife of Barney, being extremely passionate about her husband. Wilma, Fred’s wife, is his best friend and, like their husbands, they are always together, no matter what. Unlike Barney, she manages to be more critical and isn’t as innocent as the man.
Bambam Rubble
BamBam is Betty and Barney’s adopted son. The fact ends up being forgotten by many people but, in reality, the couple adopted the boy when he was left on the doorstep of their house shortly after Pedrita was born. The boy is known to be extremely strong since childhood, and has always been in love with the daughter of the Flintstones. It is with him that the girl marries when she reaches adulthood.
