Warner Bros. Discovery has greenlit spinoff series for two beloved Cartoon Network shows: Regular Show and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Regular Show's creator, J.G. Quintel, is returning to develop the new series, which will feature some original characters, although specific details and the title are not yet revealed. Regular Show originally aired from 2010 to 2017, following the misadventures of Mordecai and Rigby, two park groundskeepers.
The Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends spinoff, titled "Foster's Funtime for Imaginary Friends," is aimed at a preschool audience. It will focus on preschool imaginary friends and feature lessons from Bloo, one of the main characters from the original series. Creator Craig McCracken is returning and has noted that this series will have less cynical humor. The original show premiered in 2004 and ran for six seasons, depicting the adventures of Mac and his imaginary friend Bloo in a house for abandoned imaginary friends.
These new series aim to rekindle the nostalgia for classic Cartoon Network shows and introduce them to a new generation. Additionally, WB Discovery announced three new Adventure Time projects: one movie and two spinoff TV shows, cementing Cartoon Network's legacy as a major creator of popular animated content.
