Chronicle Studios and Hive Studio have established an alliance with YouTube to co-produce two original animated series. The agreement aims to combine Chronicle's storytelling with Hive's production capabilities, creating content specifically for the platform. Although no titles were revealed, the goal is to explore innovative formats and reach YouTube's global audience, expanding the reach of independent animation.

This type of collaboration usually requires agile production pipelines, optimized for batch deliveries and adaptable to community feedback.
