Skwigly
Moshi Monsters, the beloved British children’s online game that became a global phenomenon and the UK’s most licensed property in the early 2010s, is evolving into a new animated action-comedy television series, marking its full-scale comeback as a multi-platform entertainment franchise.
Targeting a late 2028 launch, the series will reimagine the colourful Moshi universe for broadcast and streaming audiences, offering fast-paced, character-driven stories that is being billed as Teen Titans meets Gumball, introducing the brand to a new generation of kids while engaging long-time fans.
The series is being developed in partnership with Wheel in Motion (WIM), Superprod Group’s London-based production company founded by ex Netflix and Nickelodeon exec, Alexi Wheeler. WIM was launched in 2024 with a focus on developing animated and live-action series for kids and family audiences. WIM has a strategic focus on working with large IP rights holders and has previously announced the co-development of BEAST QUEST with Cooabi
The show is primarily aimed at an audience aged 6-12, while also engaging legacy fans who grew up with the brand.
ROSS MACLEOD, MIND CANDY CCO said: “We are thrilled to be bringing Moshi Monsters back in a big way with this new animated series. This is just the start of our multi-platform relaunch across games, toys, and more, and we can’t wait to introduce the Moshi universe to a whole new generation while celebrating the creativity and imagination that made it a global phenomenon.”
ALEXI WHEELER said “I am delighted to be working with the Moshi Monsters team to reestablish such a beloved brand. Moshi Monsters was years ahead of its time in the digital space; the world has now caught up and it is time to bring this incredible set of characters to life for a modern audience.
Originally launched in 2008 as an online Flash-based game, Moshi Monsters attracted over 100 million registered users worldwide and expanded into a substantial consumer product offering. At its peak, Moshi Monsters was the number one licensed property in the UK, selling over $1 billion of retail products, including 170 million trading cards, 90 million figurines, 2 million books; and spawning a Gold album, feature film and the #1 best-selling kids magazine in the UK.
The television series forms the centerpiece of a broader multi-platform relaunch. A new Moshi Monsters game will enter Early Access in summer 2026 ahead of a global launch in Q3 2027. New toy and merchandise lines are also scheduled from 2028 positioning the brand for a coordinated return across screens, games, and consumer products.
