AceShowbiz - Fans of Looney Tunes have reason to celebrate as the beloved franchise is set to return to television next month. After a challenging period marked by streaming removals and production delays, the iconic cartoon series will once again be accessible to audiences through a special event on Cartoon Network.

The Looney Tunes franchise, which has been a staple of animation since its inception in the 1930s, continues to captivate viewers with its timeless humor and memorable characters such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and the Road Runner. Owned by Warner Bros. Entertainment, this franchise has spawned numerous TV shows, feature films, and spin-offs over the decades, including the popular Space Jam movies where the characters team up with famous basketball stars.

This April, fans can look forward to the ACME Fools event, a special marathon celebrating April Fools’ Day, airing on Cartoon Network from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. This annual broadcast, which first launched in 2022, offers a dedicated time slot for viewers to revisit classic and contemporary Looney Tunes content. The 2026 lineup will feature episodes from The Looney Tunes Show, Duck Dodgers, Tiny Toons Looniversity, and Bugs Bunny Builders, among others, giving fans a diverse selection of the franchise’s animated adventures.

Alongside the television return, Tubi has expanded its streaming offerings by adding numerous Looney Tunes titles starting in early March. This move is part of Tubi’s promotion of a “Cartoon Era,” which also includes other cherished Cartoon Network series such as Ben 10, Justice League, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Dexter’s Laboratory, Codename: Kids Next Door, and The Powerpuff Girls. These additions provide fans free access to a wide array of classic animation content.

The expansion of Looney Tunes and other cartoons on Tubi follows a period during which Warner Bros. removed many Cartoon Network shows from HBO Max. This created difficulties for viewers hoping to watch these classic series, pushing them toward alternative platforms like Tubi. In parallel, Cartoon Network has announced plans for new reboots and revivals, including titles such as Adventure Time, The Amazing World of Gumball, and Regular Show, signaling a renewed focus on animated content.

For fans eager to celebrate the return of Looney Tunes on television, the ACME Fools marathon will air on April 1, 2026, on Cartoon Network. Until then, many Looney Tunes shows are available for streaming on Tubi, offering a convenient way to catch up on the antics of Bugs Bunny and company.

The Looney Tunes franchise was originally created by Leon Schlesinger, Hugh Harman, and Rudolf Ising, with its first episode airing on October 11, 1960. Decades later, the series remains a beloved part of animation history and continues to delight new generations of viewers worldwide.
