Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai is an American animated fantasy adventure horror comedy television series developed by Tze Chun. A prequel to the film Gremlins (1984), the series is set in 1920s Shanghai and tells the story of how 10-year-old Sam Wing met Gizmo, a young Mogwai. Steven Spielberg, Darryl Frank, Justin Falvey, Sam Register, and Brendan Hay serve as executive producers, with Gremlins director Joe Dante as consulting producer.
In February 2021, ahead of the series premiere, the series was renewed for a second season. The first episode had its world premiere at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 13, 2022, before the series premiered with the launch of Max on May 23, 2023, consisting of 10 episodes. It was set to air on Cartoon Network as part of their "ACME Night" block, though the block moved to Adult Swim before that could happen.
The first half of the second season, subtitled The Wild Batch, was released on October 3, 2024. It shows how Sam and Gizmo move from Shanghai to America before Randall Peltzer discovers Gizmo. The second half was released on April 10, 2025.
