DC Super Hero Girls Set for Cartoon Network

A new DC Super Hero Girls animated series, based on characters from DC Entertainment, is in production for broadcast on Cartoon Network next year.

DC Super Hero Girls chronicles the teenage years of Wonder Woman, Supergirl and Batgirl. The action-packed comedy is made by Warner Bros. Animation, with character designs and storytelling from Emmy-winning producer Lauren Faust (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic). Sam Register (Teen Titans Go!) is serving as exec producer.

The new DC Super Hero Girls show follows the success of the direct-to-video movies and digital webisodes that were launched in 2015 on the brand’s dedicated YouTube channel and mobile app. The franchise, which is meant to encourage young girls to be smart and brave, is a collaboration between Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC Entertainment.
