Warner Bros. Discovery made it official this week: the Jetsons are coming back, and Jim Carrey is attached to star in the live-action adaptation. The project was confirmed in the studio’s second-quarter shareholder letter, so this is not just rumor mill talk. It is happening, though we will have to wait until after 2027 to see it hit theaters.
Colin Trevorrow, the director known for Jurassic World, is reportedly in the director’s chair for this one. What role Carrey will play has not been announced yet, which has fans already spinning theories. Some see him as George Jetson, the everyman dad who just wants a little peace and quiet. Others think the studio would be crazy not to let him have some fun as Rosie the Robot, and honestly, that would be a blast.
The Jetsons originally aired in the 1960s, but it has stayed in pop culture hearts ever since. This reboot is just the latest sign that Hollywood loves mining our childhood for new stories. It is a fun one to think about, even if we have got a long wait ahead. What role do you think Jim Carrey should play?
