WarnerMedia shares new information on its animated Gremlins prequel

We’ve all seen what happens to the Mogwai when they have a wild Christmas adventure and when they take over a huge corporate skyscraper, but what were those little dudes up to before all the Gremlins got superpowers and met Hulk Hogan? Whether you’ve actually wondered that or not, WarnerMedia is going to answer that question with Gremlins: Secrets Of The Mogwai, a 10-episode animated prequel to the original Gremlins movie that was first announced back in February. Now, thanks to a press release, we also know a bit more about what the show will actually be about: The series will be set in 1920s Shangai where a 10-year-old Sam Wing (the old guy from the movie) encounters a “teenage street thief” named Elle and a furry creature called Gizmo (Dictionary.com says the word “gizmo” was first used in the ‘40s, but that’s okay).
