HBO Max and Cartoon Network have ordered two new animated projects from Cartoon Network Studios, including the action-comedy series Invincible Fight Girl.

From first-time executive producer and creator Juston Gordon-Montgomery (DC Super Hero Girls), the series takes place in a world where wrestling is a way of life. It follows a young girl who dreams of becoming the greatest pro wrestler of all time.

HBO Max and Cartoon Network also greenlit Driftwood, an original space opera from executive producer/creator Victor Courtright (Aquaman: King of Atlantis). In the film, tiny mouse-like creature Clover lives in a decaying forest civilization dependent on a toxic fuel source. He races across the galaxy to find the place that may hold the key to a safe and sustainable future.

Sam Register, president of Cartoon Network Studios and Warner Bros. Animation, said, “Cartoon Network Studios is a creator-driven studio, and these two projects underscore our commitment to being the home for artists to tell bold and original stories. Victor Courtright has created an imaginative world in Driftwood that will transport audiences to an entirely new universe. And Juston Gordon-Montgomery has put together one of the most charming, aspirational and simply funny ideas for a children’s animated series with Invincible Fight Girl, in which the underdog group of characters are absolutely irresistible.”

Amy Friedman, head of kids and family programming at Warner Bros., added, “Cartoon Network has always been home base for kids and families to discover off-the-wall shows that have become iconic classics. With HBO Max as a growing kids’ and family destination, Sam and his brilliant studio teams will expand our reach to showcase even more epic, heartwarming and hysterical adventures like these new upcoming originals.”
