Monster High Is Back! Nickelodeon to Debut an Animated Show and Live-Action Musical in 2022

Nickelodeon has exciting news for fans of Mattel's Monster High franchise: a new animated series and a live-action musical movie will be hitting the network in 2022. Monster High centers around the children of famous monsters and creatures — including Clawdeen Wolf, Draculaura, and Frankie Stein — as they navigate the ups and downs of life in high school. The franchise was first introduced in 2010 with both dolls and a web series on YouTube. Now, over a decade later, Nickelodeon and Mattel seek to enchant a new wave of Monster High-lovers through these exciting television projects.

"These classic monsters have always captured kids' imaginations and we are so excited and proud to welcome Monster High to our brand for a new generation of kids. We . . . can't wait to showcase the comedy and adventure of these characters as they defy expectations and take on the world," Ramsey Naito, president of Nickelodeon Animation, said in a press release.

"Monster High's strong message of inclusivity is more relevant than ever," Mattel Television Senior Vice President Fred Soulie said. Executive Producer Adam Bonnet added, "This property has always resonated deeply with fans and our reimagination of the franchise will focus on addressing important themes of identity and empowerment for kids today."

Although 2022 feels far away, we can't wait for all of the details that are to come!
