Multiple reports came out a few days ago that Cartoon Network Studios were being shut down because of the merger with Warner Bros.
This confirmation comes after rumors saying that Cartoon Network is shutting down went viral on social media platforms, however, these rumors have some truth to them, as Warner Bros. TV Group, the group that owns Cartoon Network laid off more than 80 employees and got acquired by Discovery, which promised to cut $3 Billion from the company and merge Discovery Plus with HBO Max (After being previously owned by AT&T), but HBO has stepped down on its decision to shut down the Warner Bros. Television Workshop.
