Hulu has revealed the release date for its revival of beloved 1990s cartoon Animaniacs. The antics begin on November 20.
It’s been 22 years since the final, 99th episode of Animaniacs, but 2020 sees the return of the popular show. “Hulu, Amblin Television and Warner Bros. Animation are proud to unveil a brand-new version of the iconic family-friendly cartoon series for the whole family, as the Warner siblings, Yakko and Wakko, and the Warner sister Dot, have a great time wreaking havoc and mayhem in the lives of everyone they meet,” said Hulu in a statement.
Yakko, Wakko, and Dot are not the only characters returning for the revival, though. The show wouldn’t be complete without Pinky and the Brain, two lab mice on a quest to take over the world. They’ll be scheming in all 13 of the new episodes.

As with the original run, Steven Spielberg returns as executive producer of the series. And the 13 Animaniacs episodes being released in November are just the start; Hulu has confirmed that the show will return for a second 13-episode season in 2021. The revival itself reportedly came about because of a surge of popularity for Animaniacs on Netflix.
