Emmy Award-winning producer, writer, and performer Wyatt Cenac just signed an exclusive multiyear cross-studio overall deal with Warner Bros. Animation (WBA) and Cartoon Network Studios (CNS).
Under his deal, Cenac will develop and produce original animated programming at both WBA and CNS intended for a variety of audiences including preschool, kids, adult and family/co-viewing across all WarnerMedia platforms, as well as external outlets and services. Currently, Cenac has two projects in active development at the studios – an animated longform movie and adult animated series – in addition to assisting on other various series development. Cenac joins Looney Tunes Cartoons executive producer and showrunner Pete Browngardt as the second overall cross-studio deal at WBA and CNS which allows for maximum creative flexibility to develop original material and access to the extensive character and franchise libraries at each studio. As a producer, this marks a return to the medium for Cenac who began his career in animation writing for four seasons on King of the Hill beginning in 2002.
“It is a huge win to have someone as funny, insightful, and unique as Wyatt join us at the studios,” Sam Register, President, Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios said. “His creative voice further expands the variety of stories we can tell, and I look forward to a great partnership.”
“All that time I spent watching cartoons instead of doing my homework is finally starting to pay off,” Wyatt Cenac said. “Thank goodness (and I suppose WBA too).”
