[[Tom Ascheim]], then-current president of Cartoon Network, was quoted saying. "''Tiny Toons Looniversity'' will capture all the clever, subversive and smart humor that made ''Tiny Toon Adventures'' such a standout series.

A few days later, on July 15, [[Jeff Bergman]] confirmed that he would be returning to the series as well, voicing [[Bugs Bunny]], [[Sylvester the Cat|Sylvester]], and [[Foghorn Leghorn]]. He went into detail on the characters' roles in the series, explaining Foghorn would occupy as Acme Looniversity's coach, while Bugs would take on a "[[Albus Dumbledore|Dumbledore]]-like" personality. He also confirmed recording sessions had begun. As shown in the teaser trailer, [[Lola Bunny]] and characters from the [[Warner Bros.-Seven Arts]] era will be appearing.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Weiss |first=Josh |date=July 15, 2021 |title='Tiny Toons' Reboot on HBO MAX will feature a 'Dumbledore'-esque Bugs Bunny, Return to Looniversity |url=https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/tiny-toons-looniversity-exclusive-tease |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210715192220/https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/tiny-toons-looniversity-exclusive-tease |archive-date=July 15, 2021 |access-date=July 15, 2021}}</ref> On July 9, 2022, it was announced that ''Tiny Toons Looniversity'' would be part of the ''Looney Tunes'' panel at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2022.<ref>{{Cite news |last1=D'Alessandro |first1=Anthony |last2=Hipes |first2=Patrick |date=July 9, 2022 |title=Comic-Con 2022 Panel Schedule For Film & TV Serves Up MCU, 'Black Adam', 'Shazam!

Numerous pieces of concept art were shown, revealing a revamped Acme Looniversity and its interiors. This also confirmed many of the original series' major characters would be returning, some with updated appearances. Most notably, Elmyra was included in one of these pictures, disproving the claims of her removal. Some have suggested this meant Elmyra was added back at some point or was always intended to appear. Spielberg referred to the series as "the best iteration of ''Tiny Toons'' he'd ever seen".<ref name=gizmodo/> Character design supervisor Leonard Lee and showrunner Erin Gibson confirmed that Buster and Babs would be presented as twin siblings in the reboot, as opposed to best friends and potential romantic partners. This decision was criticized by fans of the original series.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/animanicast/photos/a.2293685797601235/2937018433267965/?type=3&theater The Animanicast post]</ref><ref>[https://screenrant.com/acme-looniversity-tiny-toon-twin-retcon-comic-con/ Tiny Toons' Controversial Babs Bunny Retcon Is All Sorts Of Weird]</ref> A July 2022 interview had crew members giving more details. They revealed the series was going to bring back all of the characters from the original show, "down to [[List of Tiny Toon Adventures characters|Arnold the Pit Bull]]".<ref name="gizmodo">{{Cite web |last=Graves |first=Sabrina |date=July 27, 2022 |title=Tiny Toons Looniversity, Bugs Bunny Builders, and a Halloween Special Join a New Looney Tunes Era |url=https://gizmodo.com/tiny-toons-bugs-bunny-builders-looney-tunes-hbo-max-1849329661 |access-date=July 27, 2022 |website=[[Gizmodo]]}}</ref> They also hinted at an episode which takes place in outer space. Gibson provided an explanation behind the choice to make Buster and Babs related, saying, "They're fraternal twins, which was not an original plot point. I wanted to dive into a brother/sister relationship that looked really symbiotic and collaborative and supportive, not antagonistic. Seeing two people who are really on the same page, and then how do people who are so close make new friends? You know, find out who they are by these new relationships β these new college experiences while still having fun and doing the dumbest stuff you'll ever see on TV, but having story and plot points and character development." [[Nate Cash]] added, "And they look up to the faculty, they're established Tunes who are like their gods, but then they're like, 'Who am I?' and 'What's my voice?' β which is a cool place to develop them as their own characters and not just mini versions of their counterparts." On April 20, 2023, ''[[IGN]]'' shared an official teaser trailer on their [[YouTube]] site, stating the show was scheduled to premiere in Fall of 2023.<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t23ufpinDB0 |title=Tiny Toons Looniversity - Official Teaser Trailer (2023) |date=April 20, 2023 |access-date=April 27, 2023 |via=[[YouTube]]}}</ref> On June 22, 2023, the main voice cast was announced.
