Netflix in an effort to gain more ground over rivals Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime has signed a second major deal for programming with Warner Bros. The new deal sees the addition of more cartoon programming as well as late night adult cartoons.

 

This comes as Netflix seeks to increase content for young viewers, with the deal adding more shows from Cartoon Network to the streaming service. Adults looking for good animated entertainment will also have options to stream new shows which Netflix hopes will increase activities of younger users.

 

The deal comes on the back of another major agreement between the streaming service and Warner Bros. Both companies signed another deal last week bringing eight of Warner’s primetime television shows to Netflix including The West Wing, Fringe and more.

 

According to the latest deal, Johnny Bravo, Adventure Time, Regular Show and more all will be added to Netflix providing greater programming for Netflix. For adults the streaming service will add The Boondocks, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Robot Chicken to its line-up.

 

All the new programming will start appearing on Netflix from March. The streaming service is working hard to provide users with the best programming around while keeping ahead from stiff competition provided by both Hulu and Amazon.

 

The deal with Warner Bros. shows that Netflix wants younger users to start using its service and the company hopes to retain them ensuring a long term relationship. Through more Cartoon Network shows streams, Netflix will be able to continue its dominance of the internet television market.
