HBO Max has debuted the first trailer for Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai, the long-delayed animated prequel series to the 1984 classic Gremlins, which will go back to the 1920s and focus on a young Sam Wing before he owned the Chinatown antique store as he meets Gizmo and embarks on a journey through the countryside to return the Mogwai to his family; watch it below…
“GREMLINS: SECRETS OF THE MOGWAI takes viewers back to 1920s Shanghai where the Wing family first meets the young Mogwai called Gizmo. Sam Wing (future shop owner Mr. Wing in the 1984 “Gremlins” film) accepts the dangerous task to take Gizmo home and embarks on a journey through the Chinese countryside. Sam and Gizmo are joined by a teenage street thief named Elle, and together, they encounter—and sometimes battle—colorful monsters and spirits from Chinese folklore. Along their quest, they are pursued by a power-hungry industrialist and his growing army of evil Gremlins.”
The series features the voice talents of Ming-Na Wen, James Hong, BD Wong, Matthew Rhys, Izaac Wang, AJ LoCascio, Gabrielle Nevaeh Green, Zach Galligan, Sandra Oh, Randall Park, George Takei, and Bowen Yang.
Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai premieres on HBO Max on May 23rd.
