Warner Bros. Discovery‘s television-focused production arm and Amazon Studios have teamed up to create new animated projects based on DC Comics’ intellectual property.
Earlier this week, Warner Bros. Television Studios chairwoman Channing Dungey discussed some of the major changes the company plans to implement as part of CEO David Zaslav’s vision for its future, according to an IANS report from San Francisco.
According to Dungey, Zaslav has shown a much greater interest in collaborating with others and distributing the studio’s content on platforms that it does not own outright.
“David Zaslav has been much more open to exploring all of our animated IP and being able to do it on different platforms,” Dungey was quoted as saying.
“Certainly, HBO Max is going to be our first stop, but we’re already in the process of closing a big deal with Amazon that’s going to feature some of our DC-branded content in animation,” she added.
Zaslav expressed interest in returning to the Harry Potter universe to capitalize on the series’ ongoing success. Dungey echoed this sentiment and claimed that the studio is currently having “several different conversations about.”
“I wish I could tell you that something was imminent on the horizon but there is a lot of interest and a lot of passion for it, so absolutely,” Dungey replied to a question about if a scripted Harry Potter would be in the works.
