### ConfirmationEdit

In May 2018, Litton Entertainment had confirmed that they'll end all the blocks due to their low ratings and several messages complaining about the lack of Saturday Morning blocks, moving its programming to knowledge-themed networks on cable television. Later, after the confirmation, The CW wanted to come up with a new Saturday morning programming block aimed for children.

In June 2018, WarnerMedia teamed up with select companies to launch a new block for the channel. After several discussions, the channel announced the intent to relaunch the now-defunct *Kids' WB*, being this time named *WB Kids*, named after the website. Immediately, *WB Kids* was announced and born. A day before New Year's Day, The CW placed its first look in its Facebook account.

Animation and Cartoon Network Studios had plans to create original series for the block.Therefore on same month of 2019,Hailey Anne(yo kai) announced WB KIDS is planning more show. Thereby, (although first aired on *Cartoon Network*), *The Chronicles of Collin the Speedy Boy* was officially labeled as the first WB Kids original series. In addition, other companies including studios outside of U.S. would also produce original series for WB Kids while also creating it for their own countries.

On June of the same year, a month before the block premiere, the full starting lineup for the block was confirmed. The next month, the block finally premiered.
