Netflix is continuing to expand their animated programming. A few
months ago, they signed deals with Warner Bros. and Turner Broadcasting
to stream Adult Swim and Cartoon Network episodes from previous
seasons. New Disney films will be also be available for streaming in
2016.
The latest move in animated offerings will come from Dreamworks,
producer of hits like Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, and Madagascar. Netflix has
poured loads of cash into creating original programming, which produced
the critically acclaimed House of Cards and also included reviving the
cancelled series Arrested Development. But this deal looks to be the
largest investment in original content to date.
The first series is expected to debut in 2014, which is also when
Netflix will begin streaming Dreamworks feature films. Details of
characters were not announced, but the new deal is said to include over
300 hours of new, exclusive programming.
