DreamWorks Animation Television (previously known as DreamWorks Television Animation and abbreviated as DWATV) is a U.S.-based animation studio functioning as the television production branch of DreamWorks Animation, which operates under Universal Pictures and is part of Comcast's NBCUniversal. During the 1990s and early 2000s, its shows were initially produced by DreamWorks Television. DWATV, along with its parent company, gained independence in 2004 before being acquired by NBCUniversal in 2016. To date, the division has delivered 59 television programs, with an additional seven projects underway.

History

Established in 1996 as the animation department of DreamWorks Television, DWATV was founded by Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg, with leadership from former Walt Disney Television Animation executives Gary Krisel and David Simon. The division's production output consisted of only two series: Invasion America and Toonsylvania. In 1999, DreamWorks Television Animation was closed to unify the company's animation efforts under a single entity, merging the direct-to-video segment into the feature animation division. Most staff members were reassigned to the direct-to-video unit as part of this restructuring.

In 2013, DreamWorks Animation entered into a multi-year agreement with Netflix to provide 300 hours of exclusive original programming, creating a consistent income source to reduce dependence on theatrical releases. Concurrently, a five-year licensing deal was established with Super RTL for distribution rights. That same year, DreamWorks appointed former Nickelodeon executive Margie Cohn as Head of Television to lead its revived TV division. Additionally, the company expanded its UK distribution by acquiring the television library of London-based Chapman Entertainment.

By late 2014, DreamWorks Animation introduced the DreamWorks Channel, collaborating with HBO Asia for affiliate sales and marketing across various Asian territories (excluding China and Japan). The channel launched in English in August 2015, followed by a Thai-dubbed version in September. In 2016, Comcast acquired DreamWorks Animation Television and its parent company through NBCUniversal, strengthening their global presence and influence within the animation sector.
