Overview
- Warner Bros. disclosed in a shareholder letter on Thursday, Aug. 6, 2026, that a live‑action The Jetsons film starring Jim Carrey is in development.
- The announcement gave no story details, did not name which Jetsons character Carrey will play, and listed no other cast members.
- Industry outlets report Colin Trevorrow and Joe Epstein are attached to direct and co‑write, but those credits have not been confirmed by the studio.
- Warner Bros. placed the movie in its ‘beyond 2027’ slate and outlets note the timing is flexible and could move into early 2028 as the project is still in early development.
- The Jetsons began as a 1962 Hanna‑Barbera sitcom set in the 2060s, and coverage highlights a key creative choice for filmmakers about whether to keep that retro‑futuristic world or push the setting further into the future.
