Modern Magic and FOX Entertainment Ink Deal To Produce Animated Programming
FOX Entertainment and Modern Magic, an innovation-focused media company founded by Academy Award winning filmmaker Rodney Rothman (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) and producing partner, Adam Rosenberg, have entered into a broadcast direct agreement to develop animated programming for FOX Network.
Under their recently launched company, Modern Magic, will develop and produce a new wave of half-hour and hour-long animated series for FOX. Content created under the broadcast direct deal will be fully owned and distributed by FOX Entertainment and produced by its Emmy Award winning animation studio, Bento Box Entertainment. Modern Magic will also look to partner on a variety of projects with additional animation production studios under its deal with FOX and Bento Box as the studio.
Our Take
Now THIS is a deal. I’m not sure how much more airtime FOX is planning on giving animated programming with already TWO AniDom lineups, but I hope it’s a bunch. This deal means that we could definitely see that.
"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
