Live-action ‘The Jetsons’ film development

Overview

Warner Bros. Discovery has officially confirmed that a live-action film adaptation of the Hanna-Barbera animated series ‘The Jetsons’ is in development. The project is part of the studio’s theatrical slate for releases after 2027.

Jim Carrey is set to star in the film, reportedly playing the role of the family patriarch, George Jetson. This marks Carrey’s first major non-franchise leading role in over a decade. While the studio has not officially confirmed a director or full creative team, previous reports suggested that Colin Trevorrow and Joe Epstein were in discussions to helm the project.

The adaptation aims to bring the futuristic world of Orbit City—featuring flying cars and automated technology—to life with real actors. This production follows previous attempts to bring the franchise to the big screen, including the 1990 release ‘Jetsons: The Movie’, which faced commercial challenges and a tragic production history involving the passing of original voice actors George O’Hanlon and Mel Blanc.

This project is part of a broader effort by the studio to develop live-action adaptations of classic Hanna-Barbera franchises, which includes a project centered on an adult version of Bam-Bam from ‘The Flintstones’.
