Webtoon Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation (WBA) are teaming up to create one of the largest pipelines for turning webcomics into animated series. They have revealed plans to co-produce 10 animated shows based on popular Webtoon titles, expanding Webtoon’s reach into adaptations. The partnership will draw from Webtoon’s English and Korean platforms, with support from Webtoon Productions in the U.S. and its Japanese IP teams.

This collaboration marks a significant move for Webtoon, known for its adaptations across anime, live-action, and streaming. The agreement, set to be finalized soon, signifies a major step forward in ambition for the company. Webtoon’s chief strategy officer, Yongsoo Kim, highlighted the platform’s role as a source of original storytelling that resonates with Gen Z audiences. Warner Bros. Animation president, Sam Register, expressed excitement about combining the artistry of WBA with Webtoon’s storytelling, aiming to create something exceptional.

The initial lineup includes popular Webtoon titles like Hong Dae Ui, juno, and Q10’s The Stellar Swordmaster; Sehoon Kim’s Hardcore Leveling Warrior; Pookie Senpai’s Down to Earth; and Victor Rosas II’s Elf Warrior. These long-running favorites collectively attract millions of readers and cover genres from fantasy and romance to action gaming and comedic adventure, catering to a diverse audience. Additional titles from the 10-series project will be revealed in the future.
