The animated series, “Miraculous – Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir” has been a huge hit across the Disney Channels and Disney+ around the world, and it’s been announced today by ZAG and Method Animation that Disney Branded Television has acquired seasons six and seven of the globally renowned series, “Miraculous – Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir”, as well as three original animated specials.
The new season and specials will be available on Disney Channels worldwide and will be released on Disney+ globally afterwards.
“Miraculous – Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir” follows the adventures of two seemingly typical teens with secret identities, Marinette and Adrien, who magically transform into superheroes Ladybug and Cat Noir to save their city of Paris from unexpected villains!
The two new seasons, each consisting of 26 x 22-minute episodes and original specials, are produced in collaboration with Disney Branded Television, Brazil’s Globosat, Italy’s KidsMe, and France’s TF1.
The announcement was made today by Jeremy Zag, Founder and CEO, ZAG, and Julien Borde, President, Mediawan Kids & Family, who said in a statement:
“We are excited to continue working with Disney Branded Television to create first-class content for Miraculous fans everywhere. 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!”
Julien Borde, President of Mediawan Kids & Family added:
“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. 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.”
The new season is currently in production for a fall 2024 launch, and in this new season, the superheroes are facing a new and skilful enemy! Meanwhile, their alter-egos, Marinette and Adrien, have never been closer but are still keeping secrets from each other. Set in a revitalized eco-friendly Paris, our heroes are about to experience a school year full of emotions and revelation.
The first of the three specials, “Miraculous World: Paris, Tales of Shadybug & Claw Noir”, is already available on the Disney Channel and Disney+ in the US and showcases Ladybug and Cat Noir discovering a parallel world where the holders of the miraculous of the Ladybug and the Black Cat are evil while the holder of the miraculous of the butterfly is a hero! The second of the three specials (title TBD) is currently in pre-production.
The new season and specials will deliver exciting new visuals, produced via the gaming platform Unreal Engine, the world’s most open and advanced real-time 3D creation tool for photoreal visual and immersive experiences.
