Animated Sequel “Gremlins: The Wild Batch” Comes to Max This Fall
The second season of the Max animated series “Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai” is officially titled “Gremlins: The Wild Batch,” and it’s headed to the streaming service in Fall 2024.
From Amblin Television and Warner Bros. Animation, “Gremlins: The Wild Batch” follows Gizmo, Sam, and Elle as they travel from their home in Shanghai to San Francisco, bringing even more magic, mystery and Mogwai mayhem.
“Hot on the trail of a new brood of evil Mogwai, our heroes journey deep into the American West, coming up against new supernatural creatures and picking up a few mysterious characters along the way.”
Returning series regulars Ming-Na Wen, James Hong, BD Wong, Izaac Wang, AJ LoCascio, and Gabrielle Nevaeh will be joined by an all-star guest cast to be announced at a later date.
“Gremlins: The Wild Batch” is produced by Amblin Television in association with Warner Bros. Animation. Steven Spielberg serves as executive producer, along with Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey, Presidents of Amblin Television, and Sam Register, President, Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios.
Tze Chun serves as showrunner and executive producer. Brendan Hay serves as executive producer with Dan Krall as Supervising Producer. Joe Dante serves as consulting producer.
“Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai” wrapped up back in June of last year. The series was hugely notable for being the first new installment in the franchise since Gremlins 2 back in 1990.
“Secrets of the Mogwai” creatively expanded upon the world of the franchise in exciting and unexpected ways, managing to retroactively enrich the movies along the way. That first season saw Gizmo and a young Sam Wing battling colorful monsters and spirits from Chinese folklore, and it sounds like “The Wild Batch” will bring the franchise back to the United States.

Despite her character, Mia, dying in season one of “Dexter: Resurrection“, Deadline reports that Krysten Ritter will return for season two.
No word at this time on who Ritter will play in the upcoming season, including whether or not this means the series may resurrect her serial killer character also known as Lady Vengeance.
It is a series that has brought characters back from the dead before, after all. And that’s if Mia died at all; even Ritter has teased not to count her character out yet.
Ritter joins the previously announced Uma Thurman, who reprises her character Charley in season two.
The new season finds Dexter Morgan caught between two killers — one notorious and the other terrorizing New York in ways no one ever anticipated — all while battling his greatest enemy yet: a mid-life crisis. Harrison continues his own pursuit of justice as father and son face their darkest chapter.
Michael C. Hall will be back as Dexter Morgan in the upcoming “Dexter: Resurrection” Season 2, starring alongside Uma Thurman, Jack Alcott, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Kadia Sarif, Dominic Fumusa, Desmond Harrington, and James Remar.
They’ll be joined by series newcomers Dan Stevens as The Five Borough Killer, Bokeem Woodbine as NYPD Homicide Captain Mixon, Nona Parker Johnson as Harrison Morgan’s new love interest Fiona Mixon, and Brian Cox as The New York Ripper.
You can stream the first season on Paramount+ now. Daniel Kurland wrote here on Bloody Disgusting last year, “Somehow, against all odds, Dexter: Resurrection is good. Really good.” He continued, “With any luck, Dexter: Resurrection’s second season will maintain this momentum and consistency, rather than going off the rails like in the past.”
