Warner Bros. Discovery announced its first-ever localized Tom and Jerry series, featuring the beloved cat and mouse duo as they take their rivalry through Singapore.
Produced locally in Asia, and in association with Warner Bros. Animation, the new series comprises 7×3-minute shorts and will premiere on Cartoon Network in Asia Pacific and HBO GO in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong later this year, before being rolled out internationally. A pilot episode giving a flavor of what’s to come will launch in August – further details will be announced soon.
Christopher Ho, Head of Kids – Southeast Asia at Warner Bros. Discovery, said:
This series brings back the iconic music and classic animation style from the Hanna-Barbera 1950s era – but with a modern Singaporean twist. With distinctive landmarks, backdrops and atmosphere, the Asian city-state is the ideal location to create a humorous addition to the Tom and Jerry canon. Working with homegrown creative talent in Singapore and across Asia, this project grows the much-loved franchise in the region and beyond.
