Verena Barton

Verena Barton is an American animated television series created by Clayton Morrow for Skyscore. The series follows the title character (Emilia Clarke), a young girl attending a boarding school in Grassland, England, where she discovers that the place is full of mysterious supernatural entities and incidents and holds a dark secret about its past. Verena is aided by her friends Angela McDaniel (Jessica DiCicco) and Misty Davies (Mae Whitman) as they help her investigate the local mysteries.

Morrow first conceived Verena Barton as a side project out of boredom in the late 2000s, and later began pitching the series to Disney Television Animation. Disney ultimately passed on the project, and Skyscore Animation signed on to produce the series instead. The pilot for the series was released by Skyscore on May 28, 2017, before being greenlit for a full series which premiered on Skyscore on February 7, 2020. As of December 2022, three seasons of the series have been broadcast, along with a renewal for a fourth and final season.

Verena Barton has received critical acclaim for its writing, concept, music, animation, and voice acting, as well as its complex LGBTQIA+ themes and characterization. The series has been nominated for several awards, including four Annie Awards, three Primetime Emmy Awards, and one GLAAD Media Award.
