Tom and Jerry in New York is an American animated television series that premiered on HBO Max on July 1, 2021, and ended on November 18, 2021.[1][2] It is based on the Tom and Jerry characters and theatrical cartoon series created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and serves as a stand-alone sequel series to the film, Tom & Jerry, which was released in cinemas and HBO Max on February 26, 2021.[3][4]
With episodes directed by Darrell Van Citters, the show has the same art style as The Tom and Jerry Show with the original crew returning along with William Hanna (via archive recordings) as the voices of Tom and Jerry.

It features the cast of William Hanna (archived recordings), Joey D'Auria, Rick Zieff and Sam Kwasman.[5][6] Tuffy shows up but has no speaking roles.
