**Webtoon Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation Announce Strategic Partnership to Co-Produce Animated Series**
Webtoon Entertainment is embarking on an exciting new partnership with Warner Bros. Animation to co-produce a slate of 10 fan-favorite Webtoon series, set for global distribution. This collaboration marks a significant expansion of Webtoon Entertainment’s animation pipeline, as the company aims to bring beloved stories from its platforms to life through animation.
The projects selected for development will come from Webtoon’s extensive Korean and English-language platforms, with dedicated support from Webtoon Entertainment’s US-based Webtoon Productions and Japanese IP business teams. This initiative highlights the company’s commitment to nurturing original storytelling and broadening its global reach.
“Webtoon has become one of the most exciting sources of original storytelling in entertainment today,” said Yongsoo Kim, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Webtoon. “Our creators are building franchises that Gen Z audiences love, and working with Warner Bros. Animation gives us an incredible opportunity to take those stories further alongside one of the most respected names in animation.”
The initial slate of projects includes several highly anticipated titles, with more announcements expected in the near future. Warner Bros. Animation President Sam Register added, “Bringing together the world-class artistry of Warner Bros. Animation and the vibrant storytelling of Webtoon creates an awesome combination and opportunity to build something special. I cannot wait to get started!”
Sinbae Kim, Chief Growth Officer of LINE Digital Frontier, also expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: “Webtoon’s unique ability to discover original voices, nurture global fandoms, and build the next generation of franchise storytelling from the ground up has already thrilled animation and anime fans around the world. From hits like True Beauty, Clevatess, and Tower of God to many more adaptations in progress, we’re proving that great stories can start on a phone screen and grow into global entertainment phenomena. This partnership with Warner Bros. Animation is an exciting next step in that journey—one that expands what’s possible for our creators, our studios, and our fans.”
At this time, no release dates have been announced for the upcoming animated projects. Fans and industry watchers alike will surely be eagerly awaiting further updates as this promising partnership unfolds.
