Cartoon Network Studios (CNS) and Warner Bros. Animation (WBA) have reportedly closed an exclusive multiyear cross-studio overall deal with Emmy Award-winning creator, producer and director Genndy Tartakovsky.
Tartakovsky is the creator of “Dexter’s Laboratory,” “Samurai Jack,” “Star Wars: Clone Wars” and “Primal”. The overall TV deal allows Tartakovsky to work with and tap into the huge character and franchise libraries at Cartoon Network and Warner Bros Animation.
Tartakovsky will develop, create and produce original animated programming at both companies and intended for a variety of audiences and for all platforms, including HBO Max, external streaming services, cable and broadcast networks and others.
Tartakovsky unveiled footage of his latest family event series “Unicorn: Warriors Eternal” at Annecy this week with the show set to come to HBO Max and Cartoon Network.
The story takes place in a steam-punk universe pictured in 2D-look textures, the series melds teen coming-of-age angst and supernatural fantasy as ancient unicorn heroes, reawakened too early in the bodies of teenagers, have to protect the world from the forces of darkness.
A second season of his critically acclaimed “Primal” premieres this Summer on Adult Swim.
