Aquaman: King of Atlantis to Reign Supreme with New HBO Max Three-Part Animated Mini-Series Executive Produced by James Wan

PASADENA – January 15, 2020 – HBO Max announced today at the WarnerMedia Television Critics Association (TCA) day, a greenlight for a three-part animated mini-series Aquaman: King of Atlantis that will be executive produced by James Wan(Aquaman and the upcoming Malignant) through his Atomic Monster production company. Based on the classic DC character created by Mort Weisinger and Paul Norris, each of the standalone episodes will have a unique storyline following the adventures of Aquaman as protector of the deep. Aquaman: King of Atlantis joins HBO Max’s powerhouse animation line-up that includes Looney Tunes Cartoons, Jellystone, Adventure Time: Distant Lands, Little Ellen, Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai, Rick and Morty, The Boondocks and more.

“This DC property is a fan-favorite rich with well-known characters and dynamic storylines,” said Sarah Aubrey, head of original content, HBO Max. “On the heels of Warner Bros. Pictures’ box office smash hit, we are certain Aquaman: King of Atlantis will be an exciting addition to our already robust slate of kids and family programming.”

yay this is so exciting! It’s so nice to see something other than batman getting a fair go

Interesting. Given that Wan is involved, I wonder if they'll tie this in (or leave it open, at least) to the continuity of the movies in a similar way that the CW produced a couple of animated web series (later edited into movies with additional footage) that share continuity with the Arrowverse shows.

Yeah I hope so. It would be fun to keep working on like, almost a shared universe but good

I was excited for a new Aquaman toon until I saw the art style.
Hopefully it looks better in motion.
