Global hit Webtoon webcomic “Lumine” looks set for another life as an animated series. Webtoon Productions, the U.S.-based studio and IP business of Webtoon Entertainment, has pacted with French animation studio OuiDo! Productions to develop an animated series version of the smash hit webcomic which has scored over 550 million views on Webtoon’s platform.
Webtoon Entertainment caught attention last November thanks to a deal with Warner Bros Animation to co-produce together adaptations of 10 fan-favorite Webtoon webcomic series for global distribution.
The deal with OuiDo! shows it continuing to grow its international slate of animated and anime-inspired adaptations outside that WBA arrangement, focusing on some of its most popular franchises.
One prime example is author Emma Krogell fantasy friendship tale “Lumine”which ran on Webtoon from 2017 to 2024, with a hiatus. The adaptation will be introduced during this week’s Annecy Festival Mifa market in France which runs June 23-26.
A logline released by Webtoon Productions and OuiDo! on Monday confirms that the adaptation is once more set in a world where weredogs, witches, and humans live side by side.
