Turner chief creative officer and direct-to-consumer Kevin Reilly said during TCA that WarnerMedia would be tapping in-house properties for original content, and Gremlins is an in-house property.
The WarnerMedia streaming service is expected to arrive in 2019, but THR reports that original content such as this probably won’t arrive until 2020 at the earliest.
While the news has not officially been confirmed by Warner, the news that a Gremlins animated project is in development wouldn’t be all that surprising.
