Warner Bros. Discovery and Mattel announced Tuesday that the reboot will be part of the 2024 lineup on Cartoonito, Cartoon Network’s preschool block, and also stream on Max.
“’Barney’s World’ perfectly exemplifies our ‘best in animation’ approach,” Michael Ouweleen, president, Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, Discovery Family and Boomerang, said in a statment. “It strikes the right nostalgia chord for today’s parents and introduces this iconic dinosaur to a new generation of preschoolers.”

Warner Bros. Discovery picked up CG-animated series “Barney’s World,” featuring new adventures of the enduring purple dinosaur and his pals, set to bow on the Max streaming service and Cartoon Network in 2024.
The series, announced earlier this year as part of Mattel’s Barney franchise relaunch, will “revamp the iconic character for modern audiences,” according to Wbd. The series is co-produced by Mattel Television and Corus Entertainment’s Nelvana.
Barney is the beloved children’s character who captured the hearts of millions of children — before he became a target of vitriol across the internet and pop culture as explored in Peacock’s 2022 docu-series “I Love You, You Hate Me.” The original live-action “Barney & Friends” debuted on PBS stations in 1992 and ran through 2010.
“Barney’s World” is “modernized with dynamic characters and music-filled storylines that highlight themes of love, community and encouragement,” Wbd and Mattel TV said. Set in a local playground,...

Struum, a streaming aggregator created by former Disney and Discovery executives and backed by former Disney CEO Michael Eisner, has closed a $7 million Series A funding round.
Canada’s Corus Entertainment led the round, which will enable Struum to expand internationally, starting with Canada. Also participating in the Series A was Gaingels, which describes itself as “the leading investment syndicate in support of and representing the LGBTQ community and allies in the venture capital space.” Eisner’s involvement is via the Tornante Company, the investment firm he created in 2005 upon leaving Disney.
Struum now has carriage deals with 60 streaming providers and delivers customers access to all of them through a streamlined offering priced at $5 a month. The glut of streaming services in the marketplace — hundreds of subscription ones and thousands of free, ad-supported ones — along with friction in the user experience helped inspire the creation of Struum.

Discovery+, which has launched in the UK, Europe and the U.S., will light up in Canada on October 19.
The streaming service will join an increasingly crowded marketplace in a nation with 38 million residents. Disney+ and Apple TV+ are among the recent entrants competing with entrenched incumbents Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. Netflix leads the pack in terms of subscribers. While the company does not break out its Canada numbers, eMarketer and other analysts have estimated it at north of 17 million. Bell Media’s Crave is the top domestic streaming offering, with about 3 million subscribers. Bell in 2020 also made a deal to start carrying HBO Max programming.
While Canada has fewer residents than other developed countries, it represents a notable opportunity in streaming given its rate of cord-cutting. According to eMarketer, the country had 10.5 million pay-tv subscribers in 2015, or 75% of households. By the end of this year, the number will drop to 7.9 million,...

John Constantine, done right, is one of DC Comics’ strongest characters. The current incarnation in the Rebirth universe is a pale comparison to his Vertigo roots and the NBC series didn’t push the horrific elements far enough. Matt Ryan’s wonderful interpretation has been further watered down for the CW’s Legends of Tomorrow, so hearing him in all his weary glory in Constantine: City of Demons is most welcome.
This is one of the best animated adaptations of a comic book character, thanks to letting it be an R-rated film ensuring the horror/supernatural elements were true to the source material and not just curse words tossed in for “authenticity”. Kudos to J.M. DeMatteis for bringing Alan Moore, Stephen Bissette, and John Totleben’s character to proper life. His original script loosely adapts Hellblazer: All His Engines graphic novel by Mike Carey and Leonardo Manco.

Constantine has had his problems when it comes to bringing the character from the pages to the big screen. The character was brought to the big screen in a not-so-comic book accurate film in 2005 when he was portrayed by Keanu Reeves. He then had his own live-action series in 2014 which only lasted a season. Yet, fans still love him all the same. So much so that the character has been revived in comic book fashion and has appeared in the CW Arrow-verse throughout the past two years. Now the character is back in a dual-release of Constantine: City of Demons. Get all the details below.

DC Entertainment has released a clip from their upcoming new animated series Constantine, giving us our first look at the animated version of the character in action. The series actually looks a lot better than what I was expecting! The animation is pretty solid and it's great to see Matt Ryan bringing the demon hunting character to life again. I always like Matt Rayn in this role. He brought the perfect kind of attitude and charm to the character that you can't help but like.
In the clip, we see John Constantine bring a bunch of demons together in a church where they proceed to battle each other to a bloody pulp.
