Mattel’s Monster High, the popular brand featuring the kids of famous monsters, is getting spooky new content.
The first season of Nickelodeon and Mattel Television’s Monster High premiered Oct. 28, but a second season has already been announced. The quick turnaround is likely due to the success of the first, which is reported to have received nearly 4 million viewers,
“Monster High is an iconic franchise that continues to connect with fans around the globe because of its creativity, relatable characters, and authenticity,” says Claudia Spinelli, senior vice president, Big Kids Animation. “We can’t wait to continue to work alongside our partners at Mattel to bring even more animated stories to life surrounding the most-famous teen monsters around.”
The show focuses on characters such as Draculaura, Clawdeen Wolf, Deuce Gorgon, and Frankie Stein, all children of iconic monsters. The showrunners plan to expand more on the character relationships and their backstories.
“Monster High is a franchise that, at its core, encourages fans to live as their true selves and celebrate the things that make them unique,” says Fred Soulie, senior vice president and general manager at Mattel Television. “We are proud to partner with Nickelodeon and our talented cast members from both the animated and live-action worlds of Monster High to continue delivering this important message through fun, entertaining content.”
In addition to the new seasons, a new Monster High digital series, Monster High Mysteries, will be streaming on the Monster High YouTube Channel. The series will follow the students of Monster High as they try to find out what happened to a stolen trophy.
The Monster High brand continues to expand its offerings as it reaches new heights of popularity with kids, and even plenty of kidults.
