Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai Coming To HBO Max

In this animated television prequel to the original Gremlins, we travel back to 1920s Shanghai to reveal the story of how 10-year-old Sam Wing (future shop owner Mr. Wing in the 1984 movie) met the young mogwai called "Gizmo". Along with a teenage street thief named Elle, Sam and Gizmo take a perilous journey through the Chinese countryside, encountering, and sometimes battling, colourful monsters and spirits from Chinese folklore. On their quest to return Gizmo to his family and uncover a legendary treasure, they are pursued by a power-hungry industrialist and his growing army of evil gremlins


The talented voice cast includes live-action/animation veterans Ming-Na Wen, James Hong, BD Wong (Jurassic World), and Matthew Rhys (The Americans), along with Izaac Wang as Sam, A.J. LoCascio as Gizmo and Gabrielle Green as Sam's friend Elle.
