‘Gremlins: Secrets of Mowgli’ is set to be an adult comedy launching on the WarnerMedia streaming service.

The project is set in Shanghai in the 1920’s, and follows the origin of shop owner Mr. Wing. Wing and his friend Elle, a teen street thief, encounter a Mogwai named Gizmo and together they embark on a quest to return him to his family. While they travel along the countryside they have to fight against a big industrialist and his army of gremlins.

A year ago I walked into Amblin to pitch this Gremlins animated prequel. Thank you to Warner Bros and WarnerMedia for making this a reality! #Gremlins #GremlinsSecretsOfTheMogwai https://t.co/HlhTIwscAb

Thrilled to be writing on Gremlins, which definitely beats my previous job playing Pokemon. Thanks to @thetzechun for his wild vision and for bringing me along on this adventure. #Gremlins #Gizmo pic.twitter.com/jbwyHetlm6
