Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe Ltd. (HBSE, formerly Great Marlborough Productions[1] and previously known as Cartoon Network Studios Europe and Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe) is a British animation studio based in London and owned by the Warner Bros. Television Studios UK division of Warner Bros. International Television Production, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery International. It is the EMEA arm of Cartoon Network Studios.[2][3][4]

On April 7, 2021, it was announced that the studio had re-branded as Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe,[2] paying tribute to the original American studio, founded by Oscar and Emmy-winning animators William Hanna and Joseph Barbera on July 7, 1957.[5] The Hanna-Barbera name had previously been revived on some Warner Bros. Animation series and films based on the classic franchises, including the Scooby-Doo media, The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-WrestleMania!, Wacky Races and Yabba-Dabba Dinosaurs.

The first projects to be greenlit under the new name were a new series and a movie relating to The Amazing World of Gumball.[6]
