Gremlins Franchise in Chronological Order
Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai
The Max Gremlin series serves as a prequel to the films, taking place in the 1920s. Season one was titled Secrets of the Mogwai and takes place in China. It follows the adventures of a young boy and Gizmo as he tries to return the mogwai to where he belongs. The series has a famous voice cast that includes Simu Liu, B.D. Wong, and George Takei.
Gremlins: The Wild Batch
The second season of the show is titled The Wild Batch and takes the story to San Francisco for more gremlin shenanigans. In the season, the show’s villain hunkers down in SF’s Chinatown, hoping to utilize the mogwai for personal gain.
Gremlins
Like Die Hard, Gremlins is one of those unofficial Christmas movies. The film sees teenager Billy get a new and strange pet – Gizmo. After accidentally getting Gizmo wet, more gremlins spawn…but they have a raging temper and havoc ensues. The movie combines horror elements, comedy, and the holidays, creating a truly fun and unique film that even the biggest Scrooge will find amusing.
Gremlins 2: The New Batch
Hijinks continue in the sequel, The New Batch. This time around, Gizmo is being experimented on in a big Manhattan office building…and once again he gets wet, spawning a riling, chaotic brood of gremlins. The New Batch leans heavier into comedy and almost feels like a cartoon brought to life. It was also a fantastic satire that pulled off meta humor and wit way before Scream made it popular to do so six years later.
