Coyote cartoons, will premiere on September 19 on Cartoon Network. It will feature a lineup of library favorites, as well as upcoming new originals.<\/p>\n<p>ACME Night will air every Sunday at 6 p.m., and each block will start off with family-friendly blockbusters such as <em>Man of Steel<\/em>, <em>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles<\/em>, <em>Sherlock Gnome<\/em>s, <em>Detective Pikachu<\/em>, <em>Scoob!<\/em> and more. On September 19, it will kick off with the premiere of the DC superhero film <em>Shazam<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the world of ACME, anything, and I do mean anything, is possible,\u201d said Tom Ascheim, president of Warner Bros. Global Kids, Young Adults and Classics. \u201cWe know families want to spend time together, so we\u2019ve created a destination for multigenerational stories that pull families together through the power of imagination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alongside a lineup of previously announced series and specials that include a Harry Potter Wizarding World competition series to commemorate the 20th anniversary of <em>Harry Potter and the Sorcerer\u2019s Stone<\/em>, <em>Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai<\/em>, <em>Unicorn: Warriors Eternal<\/em> and others, WarnerMedia Kids &amp; Family has greenlit a slew of other original movies that will be added to ACME Night\u2019s programming roster.<\/p>\n<p>Among the new greenlights is <em>Did I Do That to the Holidays? A Steve Urkel Story<\/em>, written and executive produced by Wyatt Cenac, who recently signed an overall deal with Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios. An untitled <em>Looney Tunes Cartoons<\/em> movie will also be coming, executive produced by Pete Browngardt, who signed an overall deal with Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios earlier this year. <em>Merry Little Batman<\/em>, executive produced and directed by Mike Roth, will also make its way to ACME Night.<\/p>\n<p>ACME Night programming will also be available on HBO Max starting next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the launch of its Cartoonito preschool block, WarnerMedia Kids &amp; Family is now set to launch ACME Night, a programming block for the whole family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":21329,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[6153,81,6154],"class_list":["post-21328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-acme-night","tag-cartoon-network","tag-warnermedia-kids-and-family","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>WarnerMedia Lines Up New Family Block - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/warnermedia-lines-up-new-family-block\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"WarnerMedia Lines Up New Family Block - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Following the launch of its Cartoonito preschool block, WarnerMedia Kids &amp; Family is now set to launch ACME Night, a programming block for the whole family.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/warnermedia-lines-up-new-family-block\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-09-02T13:00:45+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-09-02T15:38:16+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/07\/ACMENight-WarnerMedia-821.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"338\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/warnermedia-lines-up-new-family-block\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/warnermedia-lines-up-new-family-block\/\",\"name\":\"WarnerMedia Lines Up New Family Block - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-09-02T13:00:45+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-09-02T15:38:16+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/warnermedia-lines-up-new-family-block\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/warnermedia-lines-up-new-family-block\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/warnermedia-lines-up-new-family-block\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"WarnerMedia Lines Up New Family Block\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
