An animated adaption of the iconic Dark Shadows is on the way.
Warner Bros. Animation is resurrecting tormented vampire Barnabas Collins as it is currently in development on an adult animated series based on the classic gothic sensation Dark Shadows.
Created by Dan Curtis and celebrating its 60th anniversary this summer, Dark Shadows starred TV’s original anti-hero and the father of the modern-day vampire, Barnabas Collins, a vampire with a conscience.
Project was announced during a Studio Focus panel at the 2026 Annecy International Animation Film Festival where Warner Bros. Animation’s Peter Girardi (Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming) and Shaleen Desai (Senior Vice President, Adult Series) previewed the studios’ current adult animation slate.
