The Gremlins prequel in animations for Warner Bros. Discovery

The new network that merges the two brands Warner Bros. and Discovery takes over the Gremlins franchise producing a first animated serial adaptation.

Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai is the title of this animated 3DCG production, a prequel to the iconic 80s film franchise. It is produced by Amblin Television, with Steven Spielberg as executive producer and Tze Chun as showrunner

Voice actors include Ming-Na Wen, James Hong, BD Wong, Matthew Rhys, Izaac Wang, AJ LoCascio, Gabrielle Nevaeh Green and guest stars such as Zach Galligan, Sandra Oh, Randall Park, George Takei and Bowen Yang.

The new series takes viewers back to 1920s Shanghai, where the Wing family first meets the young Mogwai called Gizmo. Sam Wing (future shop owner Mr. Wing in the 1984 Gremlins film) accepts the dangerous task of taking Gizmo home and embarks on a journey through the Chinese countryside. Sam and Gizmo are joined by a teenage street thief named Elle, and together, they encounter - and sometimes battle - colorful monsters and spirits from Chinese folklore. Along their quest, they are pursued by a power-hungry industrialist and his growing army of evil Gremlins.

Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai will be available on the HBO Max platform on May 23, when it will be officially renamed to Max.
