Warner Bros. Animation, hugely active this year at Annecy, unveiled Friday at Annecy a new “Dark Shadows” animated series,  confirming the studio’s push in adult animation into other genres beyond adult comedy. 

Reimagining the 1960s cult TV series, the show is in very early development stages, with Lisa Holdsworth, creator of Channel 4’s “Dreamers” and a writer on Sky’s “Discovery of Witches” and BBC’s “Call the Midwife,” set as executive producer and showrunner. Cathy Curtis, Tracy Curtis, Eric Homan, Kevin Kolde and Fred Seibert serve as executive producers.
