Comedy Central And Adult Swim Could Benefit From The Warner Bros. Discovery And Paramount Merger

Paramount is in process of trying to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery home to brands like CNN, Cartoon Network and OWN. This merger would mean that Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, CBS News and CNN, and BET and OWN will operate under one roof.

The biggest gainer within this M&A would be Comedy Central and Adult Swim.

Comedy Central's content slate has been reliant on reruns of sitcoms like Becker, Hot In Cleveland, The Nanny and Rules Of Engagement. The only thing basically carrying the channel would be South Park and The Daily Show.

Adult Swim has been regarded as destination hub for adult animation with shows like Rick And Morty, Robot Chicken, Primal and Final Space. Unlike Comedy Central, it lacks in scale with it's linear operations residing mainly in Canada.

With this merger, Comedy Central stands to benefit with an increased slate of content. The channel is no stranger to animation with Beavis And Butthead and it's spinoff Daria as well as Drawn Together, The Ren And Stumpy Show and Ugly Americans.

Canada is the only known market to offer a 24 hour channel for Adult Swim maybe this merger will even lead more feeds for the brand perhaps under Comedy Central. 

Disney Channel Relaunching In Spain This April In Place Of Disney Junior

Last month, it was reported that Disney XD would be shutting down its remaining international feed in Poland by April. As Disney is looking to launch its preschool oriented brand Disney Jr. with AMC Networks International likely to be a partner.

Now reports are going around that Disney is looking to revive some of linear operations with Disney Channel set to relaunch in Spain. This comes after its reported relaunch in the UK was debunked for Disney Jr. in 2025.

Very odd part about this is the channel is said to be replacing Disney Junior with the preschool brand downsized to a programming block in April. 

Press statement 

The historic Disney youth channel is preparing its return to television in Spain after its disappearance at the beginning of 2025. The company is finalizing a strategic move that will mean the recovery of Disney Channel in the Spanish market, after the brand disappeared from the television landscape.

The channel stopped broadcasting in Spain on January 7, 2025, putting an end to more than two decades of continuous presence in Spanish homes. Its closure marked the end of an era for a channel that had been one of the benchmarks for youth entertainment since its launch in 1998 and that, for years, was also part of the DTT (Digital Terrestrial Television) offering.

Now, the channel is preparing its return through a brand change that will directly affect Disney Jr. The children's channel, currently dedicated to the youngest members of the household, will be transformed into Disney Channel through a rebranding process, thus recovering one of the company's most recognizable brands on television.

The move will not involve the total disappearance of preschool programming. Within the new Disney Channel, a daily window dedicated to Disney Jr. content will be maintained, with series and programs aimed at a preschool audience, while the rest of the schedule will be oriented toward a family and youth audience, following the classic model of the channel.

This change will allow the company to reorganize its television presence in Spain and reposition the Disney Channel brand in the linear offering, at a time when children's consumption continues to combine traditional television and streaming. The channel will be available on all platforms where Disney Jr. currently broadcasts.

The official announcement of the brand change will take place in mid-March, at which time the company will reveal more details about the channel's new stage and its programming. The transformation of the current Disney Jr. into Disney Channel will become effective on April 1, the scheduled date for the channel's relaunch in Spain.

‘Garfield’ Animated Series Ordered By Paramount+ With Lamorne Morris Voicing Famous Orange Cat

Garfield is making a TV return. Paramount+ has picked up a new original 2D-animated series featuring the iconic lasagna-loving orange cat, voiced by Emmy-winning actor-comedian Lamorne Morris (New Girl, Fargo).

Tentatively titled Garfield, the series, from Nickelodeon Animation Studios, is inspired by Jim Davis’ original comic strip and features the chonky feline at his finest, most sarcastic and lackadaisical. Dave H. Johnson (Middlemost Post) and John Trabbic III (SpongeBob SquarePants, Middlemost Post) serve as executive producers.

This pickup of Garfield, which is currently in production, brings to an end the project’s lengthy road to the screen. It started back in 2019 — two Paramount mergers and regimes ago — when Nickelodeon’s then-parent Viacom acquired the IP to the cartoon from owners Paws and announced the development of a new Garfield animated series.

Under the agreement, Paramount predecessor Viacom also took over managing the global merchandising rights to the property. Since then, the Garfield character has been integrated into the Paramount Products & Experiences portfolio across categories spanning apparel, toys, publishing, food, pets and more, including such Nickelodeon game franchises as All-Star Brawl and Kart Racers, in which the Mondays-loathing cat was voiced by Frank Welker.

Meanwhile, the animated series has taken awhile to come together, spending seven years in development and production.

It is the first Garfield animated series since Paws’ 2009 The Garfield Show, which ran for five seasons on Cartoon Network/Boomerang in the U.S. with Welker voicing the title character.

Separately, there is Alcon/Sony’s Garfield 3D CGI animation feature franchise with Chris Pratt as the voice of the tabby cat. The first film, The Garfield Movie, was released in 2024; plans for a sequel, with Pratt reprising his role were announced last year. It is moving forward.

Since its launch in 1978, Davis’ syndicated comic strip has chronicled the life of the eponymous cat, his owner Jon Arbuckle and Odie the dog, as well as various friends. The brand currently counts over 200 million daily comic readers and millions of social media followers.

Garfield marks the latest new series pickup at Paramount+ by the streamer’s new post Skydance-Paramount merger team led by Cindy Holland, Paramount’s Chair of Direct-to-Consumer, and Paramount+‘s Head of Originals Jane Wiseman.

In the kids and family space, it joins the recently ordered animated series The Elephant & Piggie Show! and The Pigeon Show! Starring the Pigeon from Mo Willems’ Hidden Pigeon Company.

From Nickelodeon Animated Studios, Paramount+ has the upcoming film The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender, originally targeted for a theatrical release, and the 2D series Avatar: Seven Havens, ordered by Nickelodeon a year ago, both with Nick Animation banner Avatar Studios.

On the live-action side, over the last few months, Paramount+ has ordered legal drama Discretion starring Nicole Kidman and Elle Fanning, as well as limited series 9/12, headlined by Jeremy Strong, and Fear Not, starring Anne Hathaway. The streamer also formalized the pickup of Tulsa King spinoff Frisco King, toplined by Samuel L. Jackson, which had been in the works as NOLA King.

While original drama series is Paramount+’s focus on the live-action side, it plans to be opportunistic in unscripted, starting with the pickup this week of dating show Making Love. The streamer also has the upcoming four-part docuseries Made for March designed to complement CBS and Paramount+’s 2026 March Madness basketball coverage.

Morris has a history sharing the screen with a feline; his character on New Girl Winston Bishop was known for his close bond with his beloved cat, Ferguson.

An Emmy for his role on Season 5 of FX’s Fargo, Morris will next be seen starring opposite Nicolas Cage in Prime Video’s Spider-Noir and is currently in production on Jumanji 4. He also co-hosts The Lamorning After podcast with Kyle Shevrin and the New Girl rewatch podcast, The Mess Around, with former castmate Hannah Simone. Morris is repped by CAA, Entertainment 360 and Myman Greenspan.

Rumour: Disney XD To Become Disney Jr. In Poland

Since last year, Disney had begun reviving some of its linear operations in some parts of the world with the relaunch of Disney Jr. in the UK and Italy. Now it looks like Disney Junior will be widening it's reach as it's alleged to replace Disney XD in April.

As seen on the Polish website Naziemna, Disney XD's schedule has now been piled up with Disney Jr. programming like Marvel's Spidey And His Amazing Friends and Disney Jr's Ariel. While the rebrand has yet to be confirmed it wouldn't come as a shocker.

Disney XD's carriage has declined rapidly across the world as Disney was looking to consolidate most of its efforts under Disney+. This led not only to several Disney XD feeds from closing but that of Disney Channel and Disney Jr. as well.

Disney XD has been an afterthought for the company and moving aimlessly with very little content investment. This led the company to launch Disney Jr. in place of the brand as they continue to expand the slate of preschool content.

Disney XD's demise in Poland is inevitable at this point and it's closure would bring the end to the brand's international footprint. As this was the last remaining international market to offer Disney XD while others closed or folded under Disney Jr.

Unlike most feeds, Disney XD served as a joint venture between Disney and AMC Networks International and could continue operating under that structure with Disney Jr. As shows like Big City Greens and Gravity Falls move to Disney Channel. 

Cartoon Network And Nickelodeon Under The Same Roof??? A Story For The Dark Ages

For decades, Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon have been battling it out alongside Disney Channel to be the top kids brand. Now that's all about to end as Paramount emerged victorious in it's bidding war with Netflix with Warner Bros. Discovery.

Cartoon Network is home to Adventure Time, Ed Edd'n Eddy and The Grim Adventures Of Billy And Mandy which were rejects from Nickelodeon. Now that's likely to be merged with Dora The Explorer, SpongeBob Squarepants and Rugrats.

Let's not forget, Cartoon Network's failed attempt rivalling with iCarly and Henry Danger with shows like Incredible Crew and Level Up. This merger now gives both brands the leverage over Disney Channel.

Nickelodeon's animation slate hasn't been stable in recent years with it's only successor in the 2010s being The Loud House. During this time, Cartoon Network had Regular Show, Adventure Time, Uncle Grandpa, Steven Universe and Teen Titans GO!.

With this merger still underway there's growing fear that Nickelodeon will no longer produce animation content moving forward. This is because Paramount let a majority of the brand's staff out of a job and there hasn't any word on new content.

Warner Bros. Discovery is no different on this matter but then again they are in a better position. Even though the latter is mainly existing IPs such as Tiny Toons Looniversity, Adventure Time: Side Quests, We Baby Bears and Batman: Caped Crusader.

Some people probably may not realise this but Nickelodeon was once formed part of a joint venture between Warner Communications and American Express alongside MTV. Due to financial constraints, it was sold to Viacom and formed MTV Networks.

In technicality, what we're witnessing here is basically a re-merger of some kind and Paramount is no stranger to that bit at all as it came out of a merger between Viacom and CBS.

Then again a lot is on the line, what does this deal mean for Nickelodeon on an animation standpoint? What becomes of Nicktoons, Nick Jr. and Cartoonito? Can Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network really function under one company?

If I'm being honest, the difference between the two is live-action as both are dominant in their respective fields so it's a safe bet that Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network will be retained. This is where most of the viewers and advertising revenue reside.

With Boomerang, Boing and Nicktoons basically being used for reruns that's likely to go away soon. The same outcome could await Cartoonito as Paramount doesn't have much animation in the pipeline compared to Warner Bros. Discovery.

Nick Jr. being the most recognisable brand compared to Cartoonito could serve as the new home to shows like Batwheels, Baby Looney Tunes, Hey BMO and Foster's Funtime For Imaginary Friend.

"Regular Show: Lost Tapes" Is Set To Premiere In May On Cartoon Network Across Europe And Possible Africa

We're getting closer and closer to returning to the beloved Park alongside Mordecai, Rigby, and the rest of the gang. Although there's still little concrete information about the mysterious revival of Regular Show—known in Latin America as Un show más and in Spain as Historias corrientes—we finally know that Cartoon Network is planning for its premiere to take place in May of this year.

The news came via the Hungarian outlet Mentrum, which specializes in cable television. In an article reviewing upcoming premieres on channels like Nickelodeon and Disney Channel, the site also included Cartoon Network, detailing that the new series Regular Show: Lost Tapes will arrive in May. Later, it reaffirmed the information on its Facebook page."

For now, the information corresponds to the CEE feed (Central and Eastern Europe), the signal broadcast in Hungary. However, if we take as precedent the recent international launch of the The Amazing World of Gumball revival—titled in Spanish El maravillosamente extraño mundo de Gumball—, which debuted in multiple territories on the same day, it wouldn't be surprising if we're looking at another globally coordinated premiere for the various Cartoon Network feeds, including Boing in Spain. This would also entail the global streaming launch of the series on HBO Max.

The exception could be Canada, where it was previously reported that Regular Show: Lost Tapes would premiere on Adult Swim. This is because the signals there are operated by Corus Entertainment and not directly by Warner Bros. Discovery. In fact, in that territory, the Gumball return airs on YTV instead of Cartoon Network.

It's speculated that the chosen date could be Friday, May 1st, coinciding with International Workers' Day—a not insignificant nod for a series centered around two rather particular employees—, though this has not yet been officially confirmed."

What still raises doubts is its broadcast in the United States. In recent years, Cartoon Network has significantly reduced its original production in that market, sharing time slots with Adult Swim and relying more and more on classic catalog titles and external acquisitions. In that context, the Gumball return premiered exclusively on the Hulu platform, without appearing on HBO Max or the linear channel.

Even so, it's worth noting that Regular Show has regained presence in Cartoon Network's linear programming globally, including the United States, Europe, and Latin America. In some markets, it even occupies more space in the schedule than more recent productions like Craig of the Creek, Teen Titans Go!, and We Baby Bears.

It should be clarified that, so far, the information has not been officially confirmed by Cartoon Network, HBO Max, or Warner Bros. Discovery. Therefore, these are preliminary data subject to possible changes in scheduling. As is usual in these cases, it will be necessary to wait for a formal announcement from the company to have certainties about the date and scope of the premiere.

Created by J. G. Quintel, the original series aired for eight seasons between 2010 and 2017 and had a television movie in 2015. The story follows Mordecai and Rigby, two gardeners expert at dodging responsibilities who turn the simplest tasks into monumental chaos. In the process, they drag their coworkers—Skips, Pops, Muscle Man, High Five Ghost—and their boss Benson into situations that escalate absurdly quickly: what starts as a regular shift can end in a zombie apocalypse, an interdimensional showdown, or outright the end of the world.

The franchise has also shown signs of revitalization outside of television. It recently had a collaboration with Fortnite, which incorporated playable skins of Mordecai and Skips, Rigby as a pet, and various cosmetics designed for fans. Additionally, the collectible brand Youtooz launched a series of figures of Mordecai, Rigby, and Skips inspired by iconic moments from the series. Likewise, Cartoon Network UK, the international arm of Cartoon Network, created an official Instagram account for the series.

Regular Show: Lost Tapes was announced in June 2024 during the Annecy International Animation Film Festival as a project in the early stages of development, though already greenlit. The subtitle “Lost Tapes” could allude to “lost” episodes or new stories set in the early years of the series. And there's a detail that fuels that theory: in the series finale, it's revealed that the entire show was contained on a VHS tape that Pops watches in the sky, a metanarrative device that today seems more relevant than ever. Like its predecessor, it is produced by Cartoon Network Studios.

It is not the only revival of a beloved Cartoon Network series on the way, as this year should also see the premieres of Adventure Time: Side Quests and Foster's Funtime for Imaginary Friends, inspired by Adventure Time and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

The Loud House Has Not Been Cancelled Nor Is Out Of The Woods Just Yet

During the past week, Kevin Sullivan who served as the show runner on The Loud House announced he was exiting Nickelodeon with the show set to conclude. According to him, there was not much work left on the network prompting his exit.

Since then, he retracted his statement and posted a new one which states The Loud House hasn't been picked up for further seasons nor has it been cancelled. And that he remains an active staff member at Nickelodeon.

Here's the thing, it had been alleged that Nickelodeon had fired a majority of its staff and kept the ones who manage shows like SpongeBob Squarepants and The Patrick Star Show.

Even after Kevin Sullivan's statement, there's still been news of staff members being let go at the brand. It's kind of hard for some to be convinced that The Loud House isn't over as yet.

They were reports that The Loud House got an 12th and 13th season renewal which was formerly going to be the 10th season. This was going to serve as the final seasons to the show.

The only way anyone can be convinced that The Loud House isn't ending would be if it got a 14th season. Let's be honest, neither Disney Channel or Nickelodeon acknowledge cancellations.

Prior to The Loud House, there was StuGO, Hailey's On It and Middlemost Post neither brand acknowledged these shows had ended. They let other sites announce it then rebuff those claims only for it to be confirmed at a later stage.

Kevin Sullivan was probably forced to retract his statement I can only be convinced that it's not getting cancelled if it were to be renewed for a 14th season.

It's likely that The Loud House is going through similar hoops as We Baby Bears where the network is just prolonging it's demise. As for The Loud House, the alleged 12th and 13th season isn't expected until 2027/8.

Max & The Midknights Cancelled On Nickelodeon After 3 Seasons

Max & the Midknights is an American animated urban fantasy adventure comedy television series developed by Sharon Flynn and David Skelly, based on the book series by Lincoln Peirce. It featured the voices of Blu del Barrio, Melissa Villaseñor, Zeno Robinson, Caleb Yen and Jeremy Rowley.

Synopsis for Max & the Midknights

It centers on 10-year-old Max, who pursues her dream of becoming a knight in the fantastical medieval kingdom of Byjovia. She teams up with friends (including Millie, Simon, and Kevyn) to battle threats like zombies, evil sorcerers (such as the sorceress Fendra), fire-breathing dragons, and the tyrannical King Gastley (who stole the throne from his brother, the rightful King Conrad). The show emphasizes bravery, friendship, and defying the status quo in a medieval world, with plenty of humor, original songs, and heroic feats.

The first season of Max & the Midknights premiered on Nickelodeon from October 30, 2024 and concluded on January 15, 2025. The show was moved to Nicktoons for its second season which commenced on September 9, 2025.

According to Caleb Yen, one of the voice actors in Max & The Midknights has announced his departure from Nickelodeon and also the end to the series. With Max & The Midknights that will end after its third season which doesn't come as a surprise.

It has been alleged that after Skydance acquired Paramount that they fired most of the crew at Nickelodeon and kept those who did SpongeBob Squarepants. News of Max & The Midknights axe comes after the announcement of The Loud House.

Paramount is planning to address the state of their offering on Nickelodeon particularly with The Loud House so viewers are encouraged to keep tabs on further updates.

The Loud House Has Been Cancelled On Nickelodeon After 13 Seasons

The Loud House is an American animated sitcom created by Chris Savino that premiered on Nickelodeon on May 2, 2016. It featured the voices of Grant Palmer, Collin Dean, Tex Hammond, Asher Bishop, Bentley Griffin, Sawyer Cole and Nick A. Fisher.

Synopsis for The Loud House 

Lincoln Loud is the middle child and only boy in a family of eleven children residing in the fictional town of Royal Woods, Michigan. He has ten sisters, each with a distinctive personality: bossy eldest child Lori, ditzy fashionista Leni, musician Luna, comedian Luan, athletic Lynn Jr., gloomy poetic goth Lucy, polar opposite twins Lana and Lola, child genius Lisa, and baby Lily. Lincoln often breaks the fourth wall to explain to the viewers the chaotic conditions and sibling relationships of the household, and continually devises plans to make his life in the Loud House better.

During the first four seasons, Lori, Leni, Luna, and Luan were in high school, Lynn was in middle school, and Lincoln, Lucy, Lana, Lola, and Lisa were in elementary school. In the fifth season, the Loud siblings aged up a year, with Lori entering college, Lincoln going to middle school, and Lily starting preschool.

The Loud House premiered on Nickelodeon on May 2, 2016 and has since then gone on for at least 10 seasons with over 290+ episodes. Not long ago, it was reported that The Loud House would be returning for a season 11.

Kevin Sullivan who served as a writer on The Loud House had announced his departure from the network after 22 years. Prior to The Loud House, he had done some work on Nickelodeon's other shows like Danny Phantom and The Fairly OddParents.

According to him, The Loud House had been cancelled which is what led to his exit from the network. While this can't be regarded to some as confirmation it should be noted that Paramount got out of a corporate buyout in 2025.

This led to cancellations of Ridiculousness and Catfish: The TV Show on MTV both of which were the longest running shows on the network. One of the two being Catfish was silently axed before Paramount gave official confirmation.

While things for The Loud House has yet to be addressed, Nickelodeon has been shortening the seasons for their shows. What is regarded as season 11 for The Loud House was originally intended to be the second half of season 9.

Pinky Malinky To Make Linear Debut On Nicktoons Global Feeds Across Europe And Africa

Nicktoons, an animation channel operated by Paramount Global that airs reruns to various shows from its sister network, Nickelodeon has acquired rights to Pinky Malinky. After failing to launch to Nickelodeon, Netflix served as it's frontier.

Pinky Malinky premiered on January 1, 2019, on Netflix with a New Year's-themed short released just before. It also concluded during the year with 60 episodes across 3 seasons and for the past 7 years was available on the streamer.

With the licensing deal set to expire soon, Pinky Malinky will have its first exclusive run on Nicktoons from April 20. It is currently unknown when or if Pinky Malinky would eventually be made available on Nickelodeon 

Synopsis for Pinky Malinky

Pinky Malinky is an infectiously positive, optimistic 12-year-old middle school student who just happens to be a walking, talking hot dog. He lives in the town of Sackenhack and sees the bright side of everything — even being born a hot dog. The show follows his everyday life and misadventures as he tries to climb the social ladder, pursue big ideas, and navigate typical kid problems alongside his two best friends (BFFs).

The series is presented in a mockumentary/fly-on-the-wall "reality show" format (similar to The Office), with characters occasionally breaking the fourth wall in confessionals. Pinky is full of enthusiasm, makes social media videos, sings, dances, and tackles challenges with his friends — though his extreme positivity sometimes leads to funny mishaps.

Beloved Shows Including The Wonderfully Weird World Of Gumball, Teen Titans Go! and Batwheels Debut In isiZulu

Warner Bros. Discovery is strengthening its connection with South African families by introducing isiZulu dubbing for fan‑favourite Cartoon Network and Cartoonito shows, a major step in making its kids’ content more accessible and culturally relevant for the local market. Building on the brands’ existing local productions and on-ground marketing initiatives, the rollout also includes new local channel voice‑overs and multilingual Cartoonito on‑air greetings. Together, these elements celebrate cultural inclusivity, support local talent, and respond to the growing demand for authentic local voices in kids’ entertainment, making Cartoon Network and Cartoonito’s content more accessible and relevant than ever before.

 

These initiatives build on the strong connection Warner Bros. Discovery Kids already enjoys with South African audiences. Cartoon Network has once again been voted the #1 Coolest Kids’ Channel in the Sunday Times GenNext Youth Survey, while Cartoonito ranks as the #1 channel in the DStv Family package. During DStv’s 30th Anniversary Open Window promotion in November, Cartoonito also soared to the #1 kids’ channel across the platform. Cartoon Network remains one of the strongest and most popular kids’ channels on pay‑TV, available from the DStv Access package upwards¹. With beloved shows such as Teen Titans Go!, Regular Show, Mr Bean and Zig & Sharko, the brands continue to deliver the content kids love — now with an even stronger local touch.

 

Cynthia Gonçalves Afonso, Warner Bros. Discovery Senior Manager, Programming and Presentation, Kids Channels, explains, “By introducing local languages into our kids’ channels, we’re not only making our content more accessible, but also ensuring it stays relevant to the everyday lives of South African families.”

 

Fan-Favourite Shows Dubbed in isiZulu

Following the December launch of The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball in isiZulu on Cartoon Network, audiences can now enjoy Batwheels in isiZulu on Cartoonito. More dubbed favourites will roll out throughout the year, including Teen Titans Go!. These shows are being introduced progressively across both channels, giving children the joy of hearing their heroes in their own language.

 

isiZulu is South Africa’s most widely spoken home language, spoken most often at home by 24.4% of the population (15.1 million people) according to the latest national census (Stats SA, 2022). By dubbing flagship shows into isiZulu, Warner Bros. Discovery is directly responding to the growing demand for content in local languages, ensuring that more children feel included in the stories they love.

 

Johannesburg‑based localisation studio EarCandy led the isiZulu dubbing process. Louise Callcott‑Stevens, CEO of EarCandy, says, “Our role was to ensure that the shows were authentically localised, from translation to voice recording, while maintaining the integrity of the original content. By combining linguistic accuracy with cultural nuance, we make sure the dubbed versions look and sound just like the originals.”

 

New Local Channel Voices

Cartoon Network and Cartoonito have strengthened their South African identity by appointing Paballo Koza and Siya Ngxambuza as the new official voice‑over artists for the channels. Siya is a Johannesburg‑based voice‑over artist with extensive experience across major South African brands, while Paballo is an award‑nominated actor and children’s TV presenter, bringing a familiar and trusted voice to the channel. As the leading voices behind promos and on‑air branding, they bring local authenticity and flair to the channels’ identities. This initiative is separate from show dubbing and ensures that the channels themselves sound closer to home for African audiences.

Everyday Greetings in Kids’ Own Languages

Alongside English, Cartoonito’s hosts Nito & his friends now greet viewers in seven additional South African languages: isiZulu, isiXhosa, Afrikaans, Sepedi, Setswana, Sesotho, and SiSwati. With a total of eight languages, the channel has introduced more than 100 on‑air greetings and short clips, covering the first language of nearly 90% of South African homes. These everyday moments make the channel feel more familiar and inclusive, while laying the groundwork for future expansion into additional Sub‑Saharan African languages.

Looking Ahead

Warner Bros. Discovery continues to blend global storytelling with meaningful local elements, which helps lay strong foundations for the future of kids’ entertainment in Africa. By expanding language representation in South Africa, Cartoon Network and Cartoonito ensure children see and hear themselves in the stories they love. By reflecting the richness of everyday life across the country, Warner Bros Discovery is future-proofing its content and ensuring its shows remain resonant for the next generation of viewers.

 

Cynthia Gonçalves Afonso concludes: “Language is a powerful connector, and by offering beloved shows in isiZulu and adding multilingual on-air greetings, we’re helping make everyday moments on Cartoon Network and Cartoonito feel more familiar and inclusive. This is an important step in representing the vibrant linguistic landscape of South African homes.”

 

Xilam Animation’s ‘Submarine Jim’ Sets Sail with Global Broadcasters Including Warner Bros. Discovery

Academy Award-nominated French studio Xilam Animation has inked a fresh wave of international pre-sales for Submarine Jim, its new 52 x 11’ 2D adventure comedy series, which is scheduled to complete delivery in June 2026.

With premieres commencing via select partners in March 2026, the new free-to-air deals secured by Xilam include the BBC (U.K. and Ireland), RTS (French-Switzerland), RTBF and VRT (Belgium), NPO (Netherlands), YLE (Finland), NRK (Norway) and Noga (Israel), as well as Warner Bros. Discovery in EMEA, Latin America, Southeast Asia and South Korea.

Targeted at kids ages six to nine, Submarine Jim was created by Frédéric Martin — the acclaimed director behind Xilam’s hit preschool series Oggy Oggy — and was previously pre-sold to France Télévisions (France) and Super RTL (Germany).

Synopsis: When naive young dolphin named Jim is tasked with steering the world’s first-ever submarine on wheels, he sets out on a journey across the continents with his best friends: Bianca, the daring orca and the ever-reliable ship steward, and Cyril the anchovy. Together, they navigate the choppy waters of friendship and self-discovery.

Their water-filled tube has left the ocean to seek out an unlikely destination, the fabled pristine waters of a place called … Las Vegas. Luckily, with no set route in sight, their journey promises to be a long and winding one. Along the way, as they embark on their mission and navigate plenty of twists, Jim will be torn between his captain responsibilities and fun times with his motley crew.

These new deals follow the recently announced sales and launch of Xilam’s CG preschool proprietary series Piggy Builders — commissioned by BBC (U.K.), France TV (France), ZDF (Germany). In 2025, the series sold to RTS and RSI (Switzerland), Warner Bros Discovery (Italy), YLE (Finland), Ketnet (Belgium), SVT (Sweden), HRT 3 (Croatia), MTVA (Hungary), Télé-Québec (Canada), LTV (Latvia), Mediacorp (Singapore), Noga (Israel).

“Since we were first introduced to Frédéric’s vision for Submarine Jim, we knew it had all the ingredients to captivate broadcasters and audiences alike —with laugh-out-loud comedy, an unforgettable crew of characters and plenty of fun twists and turns along the way,” said Safaa Benazzouz, EVP Distribution at Xilam. “Following our recent success with Piggy Builders, it’s fantastic to now be welcoming an array of leading broadcasters from across the globe for another of our original creations in this challenging market. We look forward to diving into the show’s international roll-out and introducing audiences to the hilarious adventures of Jim and his underwater friends.”

Ben 10 (2016) Will Be Making A Re-entry On Several International Cartoonito Channels

After Cartoon Network in Africa had picked up rights to Looney Tunes Cartoons and Scooby-Doo! And Guess Who? from Cartoonito. It has been reported that reruns of the Ben 10 reboot will be airing on Cartoonito in various European countries from February 2nd.

Confirmed territories include Balkans, Baltics (except Latvia), Benelux, CIS, Georgia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland and Slovenia. It is currently unknown if it's the same fate awaits the feeds in Africa but both are headquartered in the UK.

Warner Bros. Discovery had remained silent on the sudden inclusion of Ben 10 but if we had to guess several scenarios do come into equation.

Firstly, a lot of their cable networks ranging from TLC, ID and Travel Channel have begun cross promoting content for sometime. And it's very likely that Cartoonito is just following a trend.

Another is that Cartoonito had been operating under a different structure in the US and Europe. 

Despite replacing most Boomerang feeds by 2023, Cartoonito was still regarded as a family channel or the preschool equivalent to Cartoon Network. Ben 10 would serve a similar purpose as Spidey And His Amazing Friends on Disney Junior.

Synopsis for Ben 10 (2016)

During summer vacation, Ben, Gwen, and Grandpa Max travel across the country in their RV, the Rustbucket. Ben stumbles upon the Omnitrix, a mysterious high-tech watch that allows him to transform into ten different alien heroes, each with unique powers. Throughout their travels, Ben battles a variety of villains, including Dr. Animo, Hex, and Zombozo, while honing his skills as a hero with the help of his family. The series includes multi-part episodes that introduce significant arcs, such as the initial confrontation with the alien warlord Vilgax and the introduction of new aliens and armored forms in later seasons.
