Longtime Warner Bros. animation boss Sam Register is departing the company next week as his contract expires, Warner Bros. TV Group chair Channing Dungey announced in a memo to staffers this afternoon. Dungey said she and Register “mutually agreed not to renew his contract,” and that he will be exiting his long-running role as president of Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe.

“It’s time for me to move on to the next chapter in my life, and I’m grateful to have Channing’s support as I exit Warner Bros Animation,” Register said in a statement shared by Dungey. “It’s been an amazing ride and I want to extend my sincere thanks to all the great people I’ve worked with — we’ve built some incredible things together. I wish you all the best moving forward, and I’m excited to explore all the possibilities in my future.”
