This includes partnerships with Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, Crunchyroll, Hulu, the Jim Henson Company and more. WEBTOON Originals are published as graphic novels through WEBTOON Unscrolled.
WEBTOON Originals Series get their start on WEBTOON CANVAS, our self-publishing platform. Anyone can tell their story with WEBTOON CANVAS, where Creators can access resources, reach our global readers and monetize their comics to build their career on their series.
