“War Bears” Animated Series In Development Via WOW! Unlimited Media

Animated adaptations of comic books are all the rage these days. Prime Video’s Invincible, Young Justice, and others have shown that treasures could be had if the source material is treated with respect. Hopefully, this one can be given the same light.

Introducing Margaret Atwood and Ken Steacy’s War Bears. The historical graphic novel series that features a female bear warrior going after Nazis is in development for an animated series from WOW! Unlimited Media according to a new report from Deadline. WOW! Unlimited Media was acquired by Genius Brands late last year in a $53 million deal in what could see as Canada’s largest front for the proliferation of animation.

As for War Bears, it is unknown if Genius intends to go the route of self-distribution via it’s Youtube channels like Channel Frederator or Kartoon Channel, or if it is looking to shop this property to streamers and networks. More as it develops.
