Miraculous Expands with New Characters & Cities
A New Chapter with Fresh Faces
Yeatman, at the helm since June, shared insights about upcoming design updates and character expansions. Fans can look forward to vibrant settings like Tokyo and Rio. Moreover, future live-action adaptations and cinematic endeavors are on the horizon.
Steering Miraculous to new heights, Yeatman previously introduced “Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir” to Netflix. Now, new characters “Lady Dragon” and “Stellar Force” join the mix. This initiative aims to diversify the universe, honoring the legacy of creators Thomas Astruc, Nathanaël Bronn, Jeremy Zag, and animator Sebastian Thibault.
Expanding Territories, Expanding Minds
The series is not just broadening its geographic scope; it’s also spreading its creative wings. The next TV movie takes place in Tokyo, while Paris remains a central figure in the upcoming feature film. By introducing fresh faces in iconic cities, the narrative aims to captivate a global audience anew.
Yeatman emphasized the unique blend of humor and vulnerability in these teenage characters. Their distinctive superpowers serve not just as entertainment but as tools for helping friends and humanity.
Technological and Artistic Evolution
With seasons six and seven underway, the series is embracing cutting-edge technology. For the first time, Unreal Engine will be used in animation, modernizing the visual style. This represents a broader strategy to keep “Miraculous” both visually and narratively captivating.
A Global Phenomenon
From Disney to Netflix, YouTube to Roblox, Miraculous has become a household name. It speaks to children and adults alike, bridging gaps across generations with ease. Rarely does a children’s series enthrall teens and young adults, yet “Miraculous” achieves this feat effortlessly.
Market Expansion with New Expertise
Adding to its powerhouse team, Roz Nowicki joins as the global head of consumer products. Known for her work with brands like Barbie and The Simpsons, Nowicki’s expertise will elevate Miraculous Corp’s licensing strategy. The franchise already enjoys retail sales exceeding $1.5 billion with over 400 licensees.
With these visionary changes, “Miraculous” is poised to enchant its current fans and invite new ones. Exciting adventures await in the enchanting worlds of Ladybug and Cat Noir.
