November 20th is the date set for the Animaniacs revival. A second season is already set for 2021. ...now I'm wondering if the people behind SeaLab 2021 have anything planned, but that's a tangent.

So far, the only confirmed characters I'm aware of are the Warners and the megalomaniacal lab mice. I'm sure they'll have some new characters, maybe bring back some old ones (I'm certain there'll be an uproar if Hello Nurse is left out for any reason).
Though, I don't think I'd miss certain others in the ensemble if they just didn't appear. I guess I just enjoyed some more than others.

Will they keep the old theme with the reference to Clinton... or update it for the citrus one? How do you even choose which insane thing to reference?

They eventually changed the theme to exclude Clinton anyway, and even when they did, it was a reference to his saxophone playing. I can't think of anything "fun" and more or less neutral they can reference in terms of our current President...and he isn't guaranteed to stick around past next January.
It's a finer line between current and outdated references than most in this case. Hopefully it's the same melody with some different lyrics.

Look like they're sticking with the Warners and the lab mice for this one. Unless they're saving a larger cast for when the show premieres.

Lets be honest, is anyone REALLY gonna miss the rest of them? Slappy was alright, but the other bits were pretty underwhelming compared to the mice and the Warners.
That said, I rewatched a good chunk of the original series when I had Hulu, and I still very much enjoyed it. Trailer looks pretty good, will check this out when I finally cave and get Disney+ as I'll do the w/Hulu sub to check this out.

Honestly, Slappy, Rita & Runt, Scratchensniff, Ralph, Plotz, Hello Nurse would be welcomed returns (though I don't see the shapely Nurse returning, and especially not the unwarranted affection from the Warner Brothers). The worst Slappy ever got was an entire half-hour episode that I think was testing the waters for her own spin-off. Got a little too dramatic and schmaltzy for my taste.
And the Goodfeathers had their moments...

Some of that stuff doesn't age, like yes Hello Nurse. The Goodfeathers are also a riff on a genre of mob movies that's pretty dead. The question is, do they start introducing new characters?
Also, I see they will be taking at least one shot at our less than benevolent dictator.
