Two of Cartoon Network's iconic shows will be returning with brand-new spin-offs. During this year's Annecy International Animation Film Festival, it was revealed that new spin-offs of Regular Show and Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends will enter production soon. These two programs stopped airing on Cartoon Network in 2017 and 2009 respectively. However, it has yet to be revealed when these newly announced spin-offs will hit TV screens.
According to Variety, these two shows are slated for production under Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios, and Hanna-Barabera Studios Europe. While Regular Show's spin-off title and plot are still under wraps, Foster's upcoming spin-off will be titled Foster’s Funtime for Imaginary Friends. This reboot was first teased back in 2022 when it was reported that new Foster's and Powerpuff Girls shows were being developed. Unlike the original 2004 series, Foster's Funtime is set to target a preschool audience. It was also reported that Bloo and Madam Foster would be the only characters returning to this show.
Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends and Regular Show aren't the only titles that received updates in this year's Annecy Festival. It was also confirmed that Adventure Time will return through a new spin-off series and a movie.
