Hulu considered the show its first original series targeted for families. The broadcast rights for the new series also included rights for Hulu to stream all episodes of Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, and Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain. The revival was officially announced by the streaming service Hulu in January 2018 in partnership with Spielberg and Warner Bros.

The interest in the revival was driven by a surge of popularity for the original show when it was made available on Netflix in 2016, plus numerous successful projects that have revived interest in older shows, such as Fuller House.

Episodes are composed of several shorts, with each episode consisting of segments following the adventures of Yakko, Wakko and Dot the vast majority of episodes also include a segment featuring fan-favorite characters Pinky and the Brain-two lab mice, one of whom is intelligent and wants to take over the world, while the other is dim-witted and clumsy, often messing up his friend's plans. Animaniacs continues to focus on the adventures of the Warner siblings, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot-three inseparable, irascible kids-as they embark on further adventures after being absent from television for 22 years, bringing with them the usual wackiness and mayhem they create while adapting to the changes and life of the 21st century.
