The Max original series Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai is a prequel to the classic 1984 movie and features an all-star voice cast filled with recognizable names. Premiering in late May 2023, the episodic animated series follows the character of Sam Wing, who befriends the lovable Mogwai Gizmo and embarks on an epic quest across the Chinese countryside. Unlike previous Gremlins media, this series explores the mythical origins of the Mogwai and delves deeper into Chinese folklore. Though it wasn't the long-awaited Gremlins 3 that many have hoped for, Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai adds more to the lore of the popular franchise.

Befitting its epic status, Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai is not only made with cutting-edge computer animation, but it also features notable names in major roles throughout the series. Praised for its delightful and family-friendly tone by critics, the series earned a rare 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The show's popularity goes much deeper than simply being another installment in a recognizable franchise, and Secrets of the Mogwai not only delivers more Gremlins action but breathes new life into the decades-old series. Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai is suitable for kids, and that opens the door for the beloved franchise to find an entirely new audience in the 21st century.
