Ahead of the 40th anniversary of Joe Dante’s Gremlins, Max has announced a second season of its hit animated prequel series, Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai. In a fun nod to the movie’s sequel, 1990’s Gremlins 2: The New Batch, the show now has the subtitle The Wild Batch. Returning cast members include Ming-Na Wen, James Hong, BD Wong, Izaac Wang, AJ LoCascio, and Gabrielle Nevaeh.
While the above teaser is all we have so far, Max did provide a logline for Gremlins: The Wild Batch.
The Wild Batch follows Gizmo, Sam, and Elle as they travel from their home in Shanghai to San Francisco, bringing even more magic, mystery and Mogwai mayhem. Hot on the trail of a new brood of evil Mogwai, our heroes journey deep into the American West, coming up against new supernatural creatures and picking up a few mysterious characters along the way.
No release date for Gremlins: The Wild Batch yet. However, you can catch up on season one, Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai now.
