Soon, you’ll see even more adult cartoons on HBO Max. In an ad seen by The Hollywood ReporterWarnerMedia said it recently ordered three new animation series. This includes a reboot of two seasons of classic MTV series Clone High, a new Scooby-Doo show that will tell the origin story of Velma Dinkley and a work comedy starring Pete Davidson from Saturday Night Live fame. The company also renewed Close enough for two additional seasons and said he is developing new shows that will be produced by Michael B. Jordan, Ed Helms, Brian Michael Bendis and musician Sean Solomon.
These programs will join the existing list of HBO Max cartoons, including The Boondocks and Harley Quinn. If the recent addition of a dedicated animation hub and an estimated $ 500 million deal to secure exclusive streaming rights for South Park did not make things clear enough, the streamer clearly sees the medium as a way to gain an advantage over his competitors. Comedy has a similar approach, guaranteeing old favorites Key & Peele while supporting new series, including the upcoming one by Conan O’Brien.
