On April 7, 2021, it was announced that the studio had rebranded as Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe,[2] paying tribute to the original American studio, founded by Oscar and Emmy winners William Hanna and Joseph Barbera on July 7, 1957.[5] The Hanna-Barbera name had previously been revived on some Warner Bros. Animation series and films based on the classic franchises, including from the fifth to thirteenth Scooby-Doo direct-to-video animated films, The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-WrestleMania!, the 2017 reboot of Wacky Races and Yabba Dabba Dinosaurs.

The first projects to be greenlit under the new name were a new series and a movie relating to The Amazing World of Gumball.[6]
