As part of a multi-year deal expansion, DreamWorks Animation and Netflix are teaming to bring a number of original series to the streaming platform, including Guillermo del Toro‘s Trollhunters and a reboot of 1980’s animated series Voltron, Variety reports:
Beginning this year, Netflix will launch several new DWA-produced series, including a reimagining of the Voltron franchise, and “Trollhunters,” shepherded by filmmaker Guillermo del Toro. The studio said the latter series “will unleash a new, fantastical world wrapped around two best friends who make a startling discovery beneath their hometown.”
The Netflix-Dreamworks pact also extends the rights of current original series airing on the streaming giant:
It also expands the deal to include second-window rights for the series around the world, outside China. Among the series included in the deal are “The Adventures of Puss in Boots,” “Dinotrux,” and “Dragons: Race to the Edge.”
“DreamWorks Animation is synonymous with great storytelling that families around the world enjoy,” said Cindy Holland, Netflix’s VP of origin series. “It’s with great pleasure that we expand on an already successful relationship with DreamWorks Animation to bring more premium kids and family television to Netflix members globally.”
