Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe have greenlit three new series and unveiled a slate of new kids & family projects in development. 

Cartoon Network is moving forward with Foster’s Funtime for Imaginary Friends, a preschool spinoff series based on the channel’s popular Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends toon for kids ages six to 11 that ran from 2004 to 2008. Creator Craig McCracken is attached, and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe will handle the animation. 

Also in the works for CN are expansion projects based on Adventure Time and Regular Show that will both be produced by Cartoon Network Studios. Adventure Time: Side Quests takes the franchise back in time to when protagonist Finn was just a kid going on epic quests to fight evil. And an as-yet-untitled Regular Show concept has creator J.G. Quintel attached. 

In addition to these greenlit series, the three studios have unveiled the following concepts in development: 

  • Adventure Time: Heyo BMO (pictured), a preschool series about a little robot who sets out on exciting adventures to learn new things with new friends;
  • The Adventure Time Movie, with a creative team led by Rebecca Sugar, Patrick McHale and Adam Muto;
  • An unnamed preschool series from Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe based on Nadia Shireen’s kids book series Barbara Throws a Wobbler, about a little cat dealing with big feelings; 
  • Warner Bros. Animation’s Go-Go Mystery Machine series, in which Shaggy and Scooby-Doo accidentally unleash hundreds of monsters during a trip to Japan;
  • Bad Karma, a WBA fantasy co-viewing series about the unlikely friendship between a young demon princess and a legendary demi-god.
