Could Adventure Time: Side Quests, Go-Go Mystery Machine, Foster's Funtime For Imaginary Friends And Hey BMO Be Shipped To Other Broadcasters?

Warner Bros. Discovery is planning to split into two separate companies with the studios forming part of Warner Bros. and the cable networks being Discovery Global by April 2026. This deal is expected to alter the structure of Cartoon Network and Cartoonito as it folds under Discovery Global.

A few months ago, Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe unveiled a new animated show, The Wonderfully Weird World Of Gumball which is a spin-off to The Amazing World Of Gumball. The show is slated to air on Cartoon Network in the coming months but prior to that the first 20 episodes were made available on Hulu.

If anyone understands what this restructure between Warner Bros. and Discovery suggests Cartoon Network will be that channel for Warner Bros. sloppy seconds. With Discovery Global being bloated with debt, they obviously don't have the financial capacity to fund shows like The Wonderfully Weird Of Gumball.

This means upcoming shows like Adventure Time: Side Quests, Go-Go Mystery Machine, Foster's Funtime For Imaginary Friends And Hey BMO will likely be shipped off to Netflix, Paramount+, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+.

Warner Bros. being an independent entity means it can also do business with the likes of Paramount and Disney who offer rivalled stations Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. Cartoon Network in essence wouldn't even be considered competition.

Cartoon Network alongside Nickelodeon and Disney Channel formed part of the big 3 for its stellar lineup of kids content. With Disney Channel and Nickelodeon picking Cartoon Network apart through a Hulu distribution agreement and a potential buyout it lessens competition.
