Bright light!
We first reported on WB's plans to develop a
Gremlins animated prequel series for the new WarnerMedia streaming service last year, and the show has now received a 10-episode series order.
Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai will be set long before the events of the '80s classic in 1920s Shanghai, and tell the story of a young Sam Wing (the store owner played by Keye Luke in the movies) and his adventures with Gizmo the Mogwai. The show will be written by Tze Chun and produced by Amblin Television in association with Warner Bros Animation.
Check out some key art below along with a synopsis, and let us know what you think in the comments.
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.
