Development edit

On May 14, 2020, The CW announced that in light of television production being suspended across the United States on account of the COVID-19 pandemic, the network would push its new season to January 2021 and would air acquired and encore programming in the fall of 2020 instead. This gave rise to World's Funniest Animals, as the series consists mainly of a compilation of comic animal clips from various sources and thus is easy to be produced largely remotely. Shortly after, it was announced that the series would be hosted by Elizabeth Stanton.[62] On August 17, 2020, it was announced that the series would premiere on September 18, 2020.[63][15] On December 7, 2020, the series was renewed for a second season,[64] which premiered on October 9, 2021.[65] On January 20, 2022, the series was renewed for a third season, which premiered on October 22, 2022.[66] On May 18, 2023, The CW renewed the series for a fourth season.[67]
