How the WEBTOON and Warner Bros. Animation partnership expands the adaptation slate
Announced on stage at Web Summit Vancouver 2026, WEBTOON CFO David J. Lee and Warner Bros. Animation President Sam Register unveiled four new animated projects in development.
The Wolf & Red Riding Hood by XUANN, Vampire Family by unfins, Sable Curse by Little Melon, and Snow and Briar by M. Nires join the pipeline of WEBTOON adaptations moving toward screens. The mix spans romance, fantasy, action, and comedy, signaling a portfolio designed to resonate across tastes while staying rooted in fan favorite webcomic IP.
These additions build on a slate first revealed in 2025 that included Down to Earth, The Stellar Swordmaster, Elf & Warrior, and Hardcore Leveling Warrior. In the initial November reveal, the co-production agreement set a target to animate 10 WEBTOON titles for global distribution. By layering four more series into development, the WEBTOON Warner Bros Animation partnership continues to advance that plan.
The companies have not detailed production timelines, release order, or episode counts, which are not yet confirmed.
The roadmap points squarely at global streaming audiences. The collaboration emphasizes a broader trend of moving proven webtoon IP across formats, with series developed for worldwide reach. While specific streaming platforms and regional rollouts are not yet confirmed, the stated focus on global distribution sets expectations for coordinated launches and discovery beyond core markets.
As the expanded slate takes shape, the genre variety should help each title travel, whether it is the fairy tale twist of The Wolf & Red Riding Hood, the family dynamics in Vampire Family, the dark fantasy pull of Sable Curse, or the classic reimagining in Snow and Briar. For viewers, that means more WEBTOON adaptations circling toward availability on services built for global streaming, and for creators, a clearer path from page to animation under a single, steady co-production umbrella.
