On February 24th, 2020, Diane Schmidt posted a tweet on her Twitter with a computer showing a CGI version Fluke and Anna Lois Carmichael, and another one with them in the living room, joined by Ludwig. Since then, rumors have been spreading that Warner Animation Group is creating a movie about Fluke.

Then, on February 29th, 2020, Warner Bros. has eventually confirmed that the Fluke film has recently started production and is set for a October 7th, 2022 release, as it's been confirmed that unlike other WBIE game-based movies such as Kitrina the Dinosaur Princess, Howler and the upcoming Good Ol' Magic, the film won't be a retelling of the first game.

On April 24th, 2020, Warner Bros. tweeted the official title for the Fluke movie, being "Fluke: Lab Mania". However, instead of the October 7th, 2022 release date, it's been pushed to August-September 2022.

On July 26th, 2020, during Comic Con at Home, a teaser poster of the movie has been revealed.
