Foster's Home is back and his creator is involved. (Not a late April Fools joke)

The only thing I could find was a reference on IMDb that the show' release date is January 31st, 2025:

Guessing there's been a production delay for whatever reason.

I've heard nothing about Funtime. No updates on when it releases or anything.
Matter fact, I keep forgetting about Funtime

I think it might've been abandoned.

I'm not too worried - CN seems to announce new shows the second they're greenlit these days, like, at the very start of production (pre-production?). I've seen it happen with the last few Adventure Time spinoffs, for example - they'll announce it and then it takes another year at least to get more specific news than "[name] just announced on their Instagram they're working on the show" etc. From what I remember Craig saying on his Twitter (which it seems he's deactivated since I last checked?) it sounded like that was the case here?

honestly I wish they'd stop it and save the announcements until the shows are closer to actually being done. I get that they do it to build up hype early and all, keep people in the fandom and whatnot, but I've found that all it really does is confuse people and lead to a bunch of threads asking if it's been cancelled.

I did a bit of googling and found this Bluesky post by Craig back in February, sounds like it's still being worked on. I'm not sure if preschool shows differ in production in any way but going off when it was announced and what I've seen with other CN shows, I'd bet we won't hear more about it until closer to the end of the year? I could be wrong - I'm just speculating.

Pretty sure that IMDB thing was just someone messing around :p Remember all the crazy things people used to put on the Wikipedia article back in the day?

Some new news from Annecy:

https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/ste...go-1236427960/

Some of this info seems a bit scrambled (I can see some glaring errors with the Adventure Time section in both reports...) but the Foster's info seems relatively error-free to me (apart from the obvious "Blue" thing). No release dates yet but it sounds like production's moving along nicely!

There's also this new drawing of Bloo (not sure where it was originally posted, so sorry for linking to a repost...):

God just seeing a new Bloo pic by Craig is such a hit of nostalgia

Just thought I’d check in!

I was going to ask if there have been any more updates, or new information that’s come to light, out of curiosity! I’m not really intending to watch thins as it’s aimed at a younger demographic and I don’t have any offspring. Obviously these projects take time to materialise, but I was reminded that McCracken was also bringing back the PPGs, and we have seen absolutely ZERO updates on that! Will this still be happening?

And it’s a crucial thing I’m sure we’re all aware of, Paramount is buying Warner Bros! Something most animation fans have been dreading, especially as it looked like Netflix was the most predicted forerunner todo this (which wouldn’t be ideal, but slightly preferable). I realise I’m going off topic here, but are most of us worried about the future of animation? It’s not 100% approved that the merger will absolutely go ahead, but the industry is becoming so monopolised and it’ll be so freaky to see CN and Nickelodeon have the same parent company- and will surely lead to downsizing, less original programming and more reboots and super-brands; will this be a hopeful thing for Craig’s products?

Still have heard absolutely no information about Funtime, I don't even think anyone knows any updates on it, so who knows?

I also wonder if Funtime would be any good, when it ever comes out

The animation industry has gotten scary, and that, to me, is very concerning, I really hope things do change

About ten years ago Netflix seemed to be an animators paradise, they were proudly boasting about hiring top talent (like Craig) and giving them creative freedom to do things they want to. He made his most recent show ‘Kid Cosmic’, but I’ve no idea how popular that was, or how they measure audience numbers and how above or below its targets were. But he’s quoted as saying he pitched about ten new ideas to them and none were picked up, which seems to be why he’s gone back to CN.


And of course in the past decade it seems kids have been drifting away from cable TV and gravitate much more towards tablets and YouTube, for better or worse
