Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai recently released brand-new images that finally reveal the prequel show’s main characters. The original 1984 Gremlins movie stars Zach Galligan as the main character Billy Peltzer.

Peltzer goes on to receive a little, furry creature named Gizmo the Mogwai (voiced by Howie Mandel) for Christmas - quite the Christmas miracle, indeed. Yet, Peltzer almost spoils it when he fails to obey the three rules of care. As a result of Peltzer's defiance, a dangerous army of Gremlins begins to assemble in order to wreak havoc and destruction in his small town. Following its 1984 release, Gremlins was an outstanding success amongst critics and audiences, with strong commercial appeal as well. This promising beginning led to the 1990 sequel Gremlins 2: The New Batch, while Gremlins 3 has been stuck in development for years now. However, it was announced back in 2019 that the Gremlins franchise would officially be expanding with its very own animated prequel on HBO Max, Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai. 1920s Shanghai serves as the backdrop for the series, as it follows 10-year-old Sam Wing.

Throughout the show, fans get to watch the transition of him slowly becoming the notorious shop owner Mr. Wing from the 1984 film. He also gets acquainted with and befriends the young Mogwai named Gizmo. The highly-anticipated Gremlins prequel series voice cast has officially been confirmed and features Izaac Wang, Ming-Na Wen, BD Wong, James Hong, Matthew Rhys, A.J. Locascio, and Gabrielle Green. Now, HBO Max has shared four new images of the impressive voice cast and their respective characters.

Raya and the Last Dragon's Wang stars as the lead/main character of the series, 10-year-old Sam Wing. Furthermore, The Mandalorian's Ming-Na Wen will be portraying Sam's mother Fong and Jurassic Park's BD Wong will be playing Sam's father Hon. The brand-new first look images also spotlight iconic actor James Hong, seeming to celebrate the fact that he also just received a star on the Hollywood Walk of fame. Hong stars as Grandpa, the free bird and wise elder of the Wing family who has traveled across the world.

Throughout his many journeys, he has encompassed enough wisdom to last lifetimes, and with wisdom comes great power. As a result of his spiritual evolution and ascension, he is also very well versed in the magical powers and secrets of Mogwai. These new images break down each character, one by one, giving them their respective solo introduction. Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai is set for a world premiere at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 13th, 2022.

Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai will be available to stream on HBO Max and watch on Cartoon Network in 2022.
