British online game Moshi Monsters is evolving into a new animated ​​action-comedy​​ television series, “marking its full-scale comeback as a multi-platform entertainment franchise.”

​​​​​Targeting a late 2028 launch, the series will reimagine the colourful Moshi universe for broadcast and streaming audiences.

​​The series is being developed in partnership with Wheel in Motion (WIM), Superprod Group’s London-based production company founded by ex Netflix and Nickelodeon exec, Alexi Wheeler. ​WIM ​was launched in 2024 with a ​focus on developing animated and live-action series for kids and family audiences​. WIM has previously announced the co-development of ​​​BEAST QUEST with Cooabi.

The show is primarily aimed at an audience aged 6-12, while also engaging legacy fans who grew up with the brand.

​​​​Ross Macleod, Mind Candy CCO ​​ said: “We are thrilled to be bringing Moshi Monsters back in a big way with this new animated series. This is just the start of our multi-platform relaunch across games, toys, and more, and we can’t wait to introduce the Moshi universe to a whole new generation while celebrating the creativity and imagination that made it a global phenomenon.”​​​

​​​​Alexi Wheeler ​​said “I am delighted to be working with the Moshi Monsters team to reestablish such a beloved brand. Moshi Monsters was years ahead of its time in the digital space; the world has now caught up and it is time to bring this incredible set of characters to life for a modern audience.​​​

Originally launched in 2008 as an online Flash-based game, Moshi Monsters attracted over ​100 million registered users worldwide​ and expanded into a substantial consumer product offering. At its peak, Moshi Monsters was the​ number one licensed property in the UK, selling over $1 billion of retail products​, including ​170 million trading cards, 90 million figurines, 2 million books​; and spawning a Gold album, feature film and the #1 best-selling kids magazine in the UK.

The television series forms the centrepiece of a broader multi-platform relaunch. A new Moshi Monsters game will enter Early Access in summer 2026 ahead of a global launch in Q3 2027. New toy and merchandise lines are also scheduled from 2028 positioning the brand for a coordinated return across screens, games, and consumer products.
