“We are excited to continue working with Disney Branded Television to create first-class content for Miraculous fans everywhere,” commented Jeremy Zag. “Our audiences resonate with this coming-of-age series about ordinary kids learning the importance of believing in themselves and understanding that you don’t need to be a superhero or wear a mask to reach your dreams and overcome fears.”

“We are thrilled to continue the wonderful adventure of the two most famous superheroes among children with Zag and our long-standing partner Disney Branded Television,” says Julien Borde, president of Mediawan Kids & Family. “The Miraculous universe continues to expand, captivating an increasingly vast and demanding fan community. These new adventures will meet their expectations and are poised to surprise and inspire dreams.”
