2020 on Cartoon Network/Boomerang Predictions

[Asa]

What do you think CN and Boomerang might be doing in 2020? What will the new presidents role be like?

For me, I think we may get some sort of confirmation if TTG and Lego Ninjago will finally end their run for good.

 

[RainbowCupcake]

-In a shocking turn of events, TTG will be renewed for a seventh season. It will be confirmed to be its last (See, I wasn't being sarcastic)
-Infinity Train: Book 2 will air in March
-The trailer for Infinity Train: Book 3 will be released in June and the season will be released in September
-Another serialized, dramatic cartoon will be picked up by the network
-Another mini-series will be picked up by the network
-Mao Mao: HoPH will be renewed for a second season
-All of CN's shows will move to HBO Max and air simultaneously on Cartoon Network
-We Baby Bare Bears will air in summer and it will be...more of the same
-The Fungies and Tig N' Seek will both air in spring. Tig N' Seek will gain a cult following while The Fungies will pretty much be forgotten
-TAWOG will receive an hour-long special to wrap up the events of the finale (this is just me being hopeful)

 

[Jonathan Teka]

1. The schedule gains more variety with reruns of classics
2. Cartoon Planet comes back to Friday nights, airing from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM, thus having Adult Swim start at 9:00 PM.

-All of CN's shows will move to HBO Max and air simultaneously on Cartoon Network

Wouldn't that make them ALL HBO Max Originals? It would be weird if they gained that title and still air on Cartoon Network.

 

[DonTrashRoom]

• New episodes of Cartoon Network originals (including Tig N Seek and The Fungies) will be released on HBO Max before Cartoon Network, with an exclusivity window of around 4 to 9 months
• Vast majority of Cartoon Network's library content will be on HBO Max by the end of 2020
• Cartoon Network's new president will be named by or at the start of the year
• Series renewals: Ben 10 (season 5), Apple & Onion (season 3), Craig of the Creek (season 4), Victor and Valentino (season 3), Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart (season 2), Infinity Train (book 3)

Hopefully no More Teen Titans GO! Marathons and Cancellation

 

[Elijah Abrams]

I have two predictions:
- Depending on how successful Steven Universe Future will be, Cartoon Network does more animated SU content (with Rebecca Sugar at the helm, of course), but this time, it is exclusive to HBO Max.
- The Amazing World of Gumball movie!
- Either Michael Ouweleen ends up becoming permanent president of CN, Boomerang, and [adult swim] or Keith Crofford (current SVP of [as]) becomes the new president of said networks.
- If the rumor ends up becoming true, Infinity Train (Book 3) and Summer Camp Island (Season 2) move to HBO Max.

 

[Fone Bone]

The internet will be upset about something.

 

[Markus Nelis]

- New president
- Rebrand/refresh in June/Fall
- The content that were announced to go to HBO Max will be added there first and CN will premiere these as the TV premieres 2-6 months later.
- Thundercats Roar premieres in March
- CN app will be unlocked all weekend every month or so
- Season renews for Ben 10, TTG, V&V, Craig, TDR, A&O, Mao Mao

 

[5YearsOnEastCoast]

-After Book 2. Infinity Train will be HBO Max exclusive.
- Craig of the Creek will be cancelled after third season and this will upset many, including the ones who never even seen it or heard of it.
-Summer Camp Island's "third season" will be HBO Max exclusive.
-Apple & Onion second season will premiere.
- People will still complain about TTG's very existence and it's dominance on schedule.
- Gumball gets seventh season? (ok, I'm not sure about this one).
- Tig 'n' Seek will be somewhat modest success, while Fungies will be called among CN's most bland and worst originals they made.
- Some people would still hate Teen Titans Go, even if it had the best writing in the world.

 

[Al Capone]

-Pablo Zuccarino Turns into the New President of CN

 

[J10]

My prediction will be as following:
- Internationally:

• After WarnerMedia/Turner’s CN & Boomerang MENA and Turkish channels being taken over by the British/N. European team last April, there will be changes in management in the rest of the EMEA region by 2020/2021.
• Cartoon Network UK and Boomerang UK will drop their SD feeds. The channels in the UK will be as following:
  • Cartoon Network UK
  • Cartoon Network UK +1
  • Cartoon Network TOO (replacing CN UK SD)
  • CN Arabic Europe (replacing Boomerang UK SD)
  • Boomerang UK
  • Boomerang UK +1
  • Cartoonito
• Cartoon Network NL will separate from the current team, and plans to broadcast from the Netherlands and have Dutch Licence. Like Discovery’s Animal Planet Europe (and Travel Channel Europe), they’ll completely use Dutch Ratings in TV promos and in start of the show. Also, Boomerang CEE switches temporarily to Boomeang MENA until the Newly Dutch Boomerang officially launch in couple of months.
• Cartoon Network Russia will be taken over by UTH Russia on New Year’s Eve in 2020/2021, and joins with Disney Channel Russia in the list. The channel will become CN Kanal, and will become an FTA Channel. This mean that SEE Region splits from Russia and merges with the CEE region, forming Cartoon Network Europe (or Cartoon Network Eastern Europe).
• WarnerMedia’s African Cartoon Network and Boomerang and Israel’s CN SVOD Service will be taken over by the British/N. European team and joins the list with both the MENA and the Turkish versions. This means that Boomerang MENA will be available in Israel via Yes, just like in Greece. Meanwhile, CN Arabic launches soon in Arabic-Speaking African countries (Sudan, Somalia, Djibouti, Mauritania) that provides DStv, marking the first Arabic version of a premium channel to be available on DStv.
• WarnerMedia MENA shuts down Cartoon Network Hindi for good and focuses only on both CN MENA and CN Arabic. This means that they would not focus on the Hindi language in the MENA Region anymore, and might focus only on the language that is talked in the MENA region like Arabic, English, and French.
• Like both Nickelodeon and Disney Channel Germany, WarnerMedia Deutschland plans to decrypts Cartoon Network DE and become a FTA channel. Also, they’ll ditch Boomerang CEE from Germany on the same day, moving it’s programs to Cartoon Network Germany. CN Austria launches separately after relaunching CN Germany as a FTA channel.
• Boomerang Switzerland launches in Switzerland, replacing and merging both the French Boomerang and CEE’s Boomerang (German Audio), and Boing Italia. Cartoon Network Switzerland will be launched replacing CN France and CN Germany. Both new channels will be in English, French, Italian, German.
• Poland/CEE/SEE Operations plans to split from the German team, and moves its transmission and offices to the UK, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, and Poland. CN Poland and CN CEE will fully use Dimensional Graphics, and drops Check IT elements completely just after the management separation.
• After the British/N. European team taking over the MENA channels, WarnerMedia are planning to axe WarnerMedia UK’s CN/Boomerang channels in Malta, in favor of both CN/Boomerang MENA and CN/Boomerang Italia.
• Cartoon Network Japan launches a 4K and an 8K channel, rather than launching it in HD.
• Due to MTV China being existed, Mainland Chinese version of CN will be available.
• CN Pakistan will change its DOG mode to 16:9, and converts to HD.
• Boomerang Thailand shuts down in Thailand, and is going to be replaced by Boomerang Southeast Asia.

- US/America:

• After Christina Miller leaving the channel, and if no one replaces her, there would be a demand or an offer for Pierre Branco, Pablo Zuccarino, Guillaume Coffin, or anyone from WarnerMedia to be the president of CN.
• TTG will end, and will be replaced by a reboot from Teen Titans (2003), but with the same design as TTG. The reboot will mostly be a 30 minutes show, and will be an action series, but with having some comedy scenes at the beginning (before the start of every mission) and the end (final minutes, before the ending scene) of each episode.
• Adult Swim and Toonami will be transited and moved to TBS, TNT, and HBO Max. CN will become 24/7 and makes space for overnight and morning programming, especially in the weekends.
• CN Arabic launches on Dish Network and Sling TV. In association with Reach Media, Dish Network, and WarnerMedia.
• Cartoon Network Block will be launched on The CW, and would be aired every weekend. This will include Darwin’s Yearbook, Craig of the Creek, The Powerpuff Girls, Ben 10 (2016/2017), Mao Mao, etc.
