ŭȀ˔Ф TBA ǺƔŭȇǘˀаȀưǘȢǺȌǐǐƔˀФTBA ̧ưƔʖаȢưƔǺɛФTBA
WHAT IS IT?
It’s an animated prequel to Gremlins, made up of ten half-hour episodes. Set in
Twenties Shanghai, it reveals how ten-year-old Sam Wing (you know him as shop
owner Mr Wing from the original film) met a young Mogwai called Gizmo and a
teenaged street thief called Elle. Together, the three set off on a perilous journey
through the Chinese countryside to return Gizmo to his family, battling monsters
from Chinese folklore and escaping the clutches of a power-hungry industrialist
and his army of evil Gremlins. It’s all your childhood horror dreams come true.WHO IS INVOLVED?
Amblin Television and Warner Bros Animation have teamed up for this one, and
loads of talent are already on board. Gotham and Once Upon A Time writer Tze
Chun is penning the series, and Amblin TV’s Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey are
executive producing alongside Chun and Brendan Hay (Robot Chicken) and Sam
Register (Animaniacs).WHEN CAN I WATCH IT?
Though the series has been in the works for months, it’s still pretty early into
its development. We reckon we’re not going to be able to see it on TV until the
second half of 2020, at least.16 THE SANDMAN
