A Warner Bros spokesperson told The Wrap that the Warner Bros. Animation and Elizabeth Banks’ production company Brownstone Productions will be working on a new Flintstones series. Yabba Dabba Doo!

The series is an animated adult comedy series based on beloved characters from The Flintstones cartoon. Currently in the early stages of preliminary development, the story will be original even though it’s using the same Flintstones characters.

The Flintstones’ catchy theme song

The original Flintstones cartoon was a Hanna-Barbera production that first came out in 1960. It was also the first animated series to be given a primetime slot. The show featured Fred and Wilma Flintstone and their daughter Pebbles and pet dinosaur Dino, and their friends Barney and Betty Rubble with son Bamm-Bamm. They all live in a town called Bedrock in the Stone Age time period. The show also had a catchy theme song that plays at the start and end of each episode.
