Teen Titans will return to Cartoon Network.
According to Cartoon Network’s upcoming schedule, reruns of the original Teen Titans animated series will return to the network on Sunday, Dec. 4 for a three-hour block, starting at 12 p.m. EST.
Developed by Glen Murakami, David Slack and Sam Register, Teen Titans originally aired on Cartoon Network in 2003, though its first two seasons also aired on Kids’ WB. Based on the DC Comics characters of the same name, the cartoon was produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment and was originally planned for just four seasons. However, its popularity led to a fifth season airing on Cartoon Network as well. The final episode of the show premiered in 2006 and was followed by a TV movie, Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo that same year, which acted as the official series finale.
The original Teen Titans inspired a spinoff series, Teen Titans Go!, which premiered on Cartoon Network in 2013. In 2019, a crossover film titled Teen Titans Go! vs. Teen Titans was released, which marked the first appearance of the original team after 13 years.
Teen Titans vs. Teen Titans Go!
Created by Michael Jelenic and Aaron Horvath, Teen Titans Go! premiered on April 23, 2013, serving as a more comedic take on the famous DC Comics super-team than the 2003 series that came before it. Teen Titans Go! stars the original voice cast of Teen Titans, which includes Scott Menville as Robin, Hynden Walch as Starfire, Khary Payton as Cyborg, Tara Strong as Raven and Greg Cipes as Beast Boy. Other characters who have made guest appearances include Superman, Batman, Batgirl, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, The Powerpuff Girls, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the ThunderCats.
Teen Titans Go! was renewed for an eighth season in February, which will see the animated series cross 400 episodes. “The undeniable success of Teen Titans Go!, with its signature blend of action and subversive Super Hero humor, is a testament to the phenomenal work of executive producer Pete Michail and the show team,” said Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios President Sam Register, who also serves as an executive producer on the series. “Seven seasons, one theatrical feature film, multiple specials, celebrity cameos, and no end in sight, this show has carved out its own lane in the acclaimed legacy established by the original Teen Titans animated series.”
Teen Titans returns to Cartoon Network on Dec. 4. Teen Titans Go! is available to stream on HBO Max.
