8 TV Show Reboots You Didn't Know Were In The Works

6. Animaniacs

Animaniacs Characters
Warner Bros.

The Original: 90s kids will be all-too-familiar with this staple after-school treat, with the original series (which was executive produced by the Steven Spielberg) spanning 99 episodes from 1993-1998.

Each episode featured a multitude of different characters all off on their own wild adventures, with everyone from Pinky and the Brain, Yakko, Wakko, Dot, and Dr. Otto Scratchansniff getting up to all sorts of crazy hijinks.

The show had a Looney Tunes-esque flavour, and became very popular as a result.

The Reboot: The new Animaniacs series is set to start airing in 2020 on Hulu, with Wellesley Wild (writer on Family Guy) on showrunning duties, and Spielberg returning as executive producer.

All the classic characters you remember are set to make a comeback, and the basic premise - Yakko, Wakko and Dot causing havoc - will remain the same. All in all, this version of the show sounds very similar to the original, so if you loved that one, you'll probably love this one too.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
