Powerhouse Animation Inks First-Look Deal With Netflix
Titmouse and now count Powerhouse Animation as part of first-look deals for Netflix to ink in the hopes of procuring more adult animation in the vein of impressive titles like Seis Manos, Castlevania, and more. Powerhouse has other adult animation titles on tap including Skull Island, Tomb Raider, Masters of the Universe: Revelation and the Castlevania sequel series.
Our Take
The first-look deal is well-deserved. I’m not quite sure the self-produced efforts are clicking with audiences just yet with examples like Seis Manos and Blood of Zeus as both were very strong visually, but lack in story-telling elements (also, Netflix is going crazy in adapting Norse mythology as of late). I want to see the studio to continue to take chances until they get it, and Netflix is a great outlet for this.

"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
