Cat Noir & Ladybug Returning As Disney Acquires 'Miraculous: Stellar Force'

TV & Film

Jun 9

Miraculous has enjoyed tremendous success as a franchise, with Cat Noir and Ladybug being rather recognizable superheroes. With six seasons to its name, spin-offs, and even a movie, it seems the “tales” of our two favorite Parisian teenage heroes have explored nearly every medium imaginable. However, now, it has been revealed that the heavily anime-influenced franchise is getting an anime of its own: Miraculous: Stellar Force. Disney quickly snapped up the distribution rights from Miraculous Corp, a joint venture between Mediawan and ZAG.

The series will be the franchise’s first original spin-off, and rather than follow just two superheroes in Paris, France, it will follow 12 students at an international school in the capital of Japan who discover they are the guardians of the Stellar Matrix, a fractured cosmic weapon. These students, under the guidance and leadership of Miki, Mayonette, and Yu Lu, will have to overcome their differences in order to team up and save the world.
