After Chumptoon Network fumbled the ball with Wabbit: A Looney Tunes Production, aka New Looney Tunes, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Yosemite Sam, and the rest of the gang are moving over to HBO Max, which launches Wednesday, May 27.
Eric Bauza takes over as the voice behind Bugs & Daffy. Jeff Bergman, who had essayed those roles, will play Sylvester, among others, with Fred Tatasciore as Sam. Bob Bergen (Porky Pig) is the only holdover in his role from the previous series. Bauza will also voice Marvin the Martian.
Following is a new trailer:
The animation looks fresh, recapturing the classic looks. Peter Browngardt (Uncle Grandpa) is one of the masterminds behind this series, and it looks like he's hit a home run. Stay tooned.

This looks great! I'm considering getting HBO Max so I can see this show. Mind you, I enjoyed Wabbit/New Looney Tunes, but I think some people were put off by the character designs. As with New Looney Tunes, I'm personally ecstatic that we're getting the manic version of Daffy back. So I'm all in with this.
And yeah, Cartoon Network could've had this show, but I guess the Powers That Be over there felt that today's kids wouldn't be interested in the Looney Tunes. Their loss.
And there's a change at the top of CN---again, as Christina Miller has been replaced.
Technically Fred Tatasciore first did the voice of Yosemite Sam in "New Looney Tunes". So that's two holdovers from the previous show.
And Jeff Bergman, who voiced Elmer in "New Looney Tunes", is also voicing Elmer here, so that's three holdovers.
Hmmmmmkay.
