[Brightstar]

A “Gremlins” animated series is in development at WarnerMedia’s upcoming streaming service, Variety has learned exclusively from sources.

The potential series is said to be a period piece that would follow Mr. Wing, the Chinese grandfather played in the films by Keye Luke, as a young man as he goes on adventures with the friendly Mogwai Gizmo. The series will be produced by Warner Bros. Television and Amblin Television. Both Warner Bros. and Amblin produced the films on which the show will be based.

I won't knock it til I try it, but I was pulling for a Gremlins 3.

[Jennifer Lawrence Fan]

I like Gremlins. So I am in.

[Porco Azzurro]

I love the Gremlins films but part of their charm was the puppetry, so I dunno...

But I love animation too so I’d probably give this a go at some point (not sure about yet another subscription service though).

[Monterey Jack]

I'm kind of amazed they never did a Gremlins Saturday Morning Cartoon in the 80s. Hell, they had ones for Rambo and Robocop!

[Worship.my.wreck]

Nah I'm good.

no dante, no dice.

The “Gremlins” animated series is officially moving forward at the WarnerMedia streaming service.

The series, which Variety exclusively reported back in February, will be titled “Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai.” Set in 1920s Shanghai, the series will tell the story of how 10-year-old Sam Wing (future shop owner Mr. Wing in the 1984 movie) met the young Mogwai called Gizmo. Along with a teenage street thief named Elle, Sam and Gizmo take a perilous journey through the Chinese countryside, encountering, and sometimes battling, colorful monsters and spirits from Chinese folklore. On their quest to return Gizmo to his family and uncover a legendary treasure, they are pursued by a power-hungry industrialist and his growing army of evil Gremlins.

The half-hour series has received a 10-episode order at the streamer. Tze Chun will write the series and serve as co-executive producer. Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey of Amblin Television will executive produce along with Sam Register. Brendan Hay will also co-executive produce with Dan Krall serving as supervising producer. Amblin will produce in association with Warner Bros. Animation.

Sounds cool. I like that it’s giving the origin of the Mogwais.

Too bad it’s streaming exclusive.

Looks pretty cool. My only complaint is Gizmo’s (the mogwai’s) eyes are too big. They didn’t need to be that big in cartoon form. They’re already cute.

Hmmm. Obviously the original is a classic. Dunno, this kind of stuff scares me. But maybe it has a chance. Depends of course on what things they change or don’t line up with what’s been established. That’s always a huge problem. But we’ll see.

[Starman22]

I love Gremlins and so I must check it out this one.

[Jay H.]

I want to believe.

I liked part 2. They missed an opportunity here. Clamp 2024!
