Toonami is a television channel that launched in France on February 11, 2016.[2] It was also subsequently launched in several other French-speaking territories, including parts of Africa.[3] It is operated and distributed in France by Warner Bros. Discovery France, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery International.[2] The channel is named after the Toonami programming block created in the United States (a version of which was formerly aired in France on Cartoon Network), using a logo similar to the one introduced in 2004 but with different branded promos that are also used in Asia. The programming consists of superhero series such as Justice League, Beware the Batman and Ben 10. Unlike its predecessors, Toonami Asia and Toonami India, the programming featured on Toonami France is dubbed into the country's native language. Similar to Toonami Asia's editing polices, a number of shows and movies have been edited to remove "graphic" violence. As a result, the majority of DC Animated Films have been censored.
The channel features a Toonami Movies block through which various feature films and direct-to-DVD movies will be shown. The channel will also offer a catch-up service, Toonami Max via cable, tablet, mobiles and PCs. The service will have 145 hours – or 400 episodes – of catch-up programming.[4]
On July 24, 2019, Adult Swim France announced on their Twitter that the Adult Swim block would begin airing from 11:00 PM to 2:00 AM (Paris Time) on Toonami France every day.
On 10 January 2023, Toonami was dropped from Canal+, following a failure of negotiations for the renewal of Warner channels.
On 28 June 2023, it was announced that Toonami France would be replaced by Warner TV Next on 4 September, becoming part of the Warner TV franchise that exists in other European, Asian, and Latin American countries.
