Animaniacs is set to return to Hulu later this year. Season 2 of the rebooted animated comedy show premieres on Friday, November 5. A date announcement teaser video has been released–check it out below:
Animaniacs Season 2 will consist of 13 new episodes. The series is produced by Hulu, Amblin Television, and Warner Bros. Animation, with Steven Spielberg returning as executive producer.
Hulu has released a synopsis for Season 2. It reads, “Yakko, Wakko, and Dot return for an all-new season of this iconic, family-friendly series with something for everyone: pop culture parodies, musical showstoppers, takedowns of historical baddies, and even some important safety tips.
“Join the Warners and Pinky and the Brain as they wreak havoc everywhere they go, from the Warner Bros. lot to an international beauty pageant, even all the way into outer space. Keep an eye out for season one favorites Starbox and Cindy, as well as some rejected Animaniacs characters that were left on the cutting room floor.”
Animaniacs Season 1 was released in November 2020, more than 20 years since the original show ended. It won four awards at this year’s Daytime Emmys, taking home prizes for Voice Directing, Editing, Storyboard, and Best Original Song. The show has also been greenlit for Season 3.
The original Animaniacs ran for five years, first premiering in 1993 on Fox Kids then moving to Kids’ WB in 1995 before ending in 1998. The first run of the series lasted for 99 episodes and even got a feature-length movie, Wakko’s Wish.
