Gremlins the animated series AKA Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai is coming to HBO Max … but it won’t be ready for the streaming service’s launch this May. Bummer. But that said, Collider reports the show is still on pace for a 2021 release date.

Are you excited to hear that Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai is coming to HBO Max in 2021? Let us know below or on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram!

In the animated television adaptation, we travel back to 1920s Shanghai to reveal 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.

Tze Chun will write the series based on Gremlins by Chris Columbus, Joe Dante, and Michael Finnell and serve as an executive producer with Darryl Frank, Justin Falvey, Sam Register, and Brendan Hay. Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai will be released on HBO Max sometime in 2021.
