Season 2, "The Wild Batch", premieres on Max on Oct. 3.

John Glover is joining the voice cast. Daniel Clamp incoming?

re: Gremlins -- animated prequel series on Max

I didn’t know the first season ever made it to air.
Did anyone watch it?

re: Gremlins -- animated prequel series on Max

I remember hearing about it but yeah never remembered it actually came out... much less renewed for season 2.

And the reviews are generally positive.

GREMLINS: THE WILD BATCH teased a new round of havoc-wreaking Mogwai headed to San Francisco and the American West in the official trailer and key art released today. The Max original animated prequel series will premiere part one of the two-part second season on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3.
Logline: Taking place one year after the events of season one, 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.
Cast: Simu Liu joins the main voice cast in season two alongside returning cast members Ming-Na Wen, James Hong, BD Wong, Izaac Wang, AJ LoCascio, Gabrielle Nevaeh and George Takei. The season also features notable guest stars including John Glover — who starred as eccentric billionaire “Daniel Clamp” in “Gremlins 2: The New Batch” — plus Michael Paul Chan, Ronny Chieng, Keith David, Will Forte, Kelly Hu and Jimmy O. Yang, among others.

Love all the asian representation in the show. In the first season, the kids and I learned about jiangshi (Chinese hopping zombies) which we then saw referenced in other media later.

Re: Gremlins -- animated prequel series on Max

Season 2 Part 2 dropped last week to little fanfare.

no word yet on if it will be renewed for season 3, though the producers have some ideas for a couple more seasons.
