WWE Strikes Deal With Crunchyroll
WWE is continuing to diversify its programming, and a recent deal between WWE Studios and Sony will bring a new series to the Crunchyroll subscription service.
During today’s first-quarter earnings call, WWE President Nick Khan spoke on continued efforts in developing content outside the traditional realm of professional wrestling. Khan announced WWE Studios has sold a multi-episode anime series to Crunchyroll.
Further details on the project have yet to be revealed.
In December, Sony’s Funimation Group acquired Crunchyroll for $1.1175 billion. The deal is still awaiting final regulatory approval due to an antitrust review.
