Disney Branded Television Acquires Miraculous Stellar Force for Disney Channel and Disney+
Leading into the Annecy International Animated Film Festival, Disney Branded Television announced the acquisition of “Miraculous Stellar Force” for Disney+ and Disney Channel, set to premiere in 2027. “Miraculous Stellar Force” is the first original “Miraculous” universe spin-off, which delivers a new group of superheroes and blends kung fu comedy, high-stakes action, and heartfelt storytelling in 2D anime.
“Miraculous Stellar Force,” created by Thomas Astruc (creator of “Miraculous – Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir”), offers a fresh take on the superhero genre. Set in an international school in Tokyo, 12 culturally diverse students discover they’re guardians of the shattered Stellar Matrix, an ancient cosmic weapon. Led by Miki, Mayotte and Yu Lu, the team must overcome clashing personalities and chaotic friendships to unite against rising galactic threats—including the vengeful Modeler and the dark entity known only as The Supreme.
Ahead of the 2027 series debut, the one-hour high-octane special “Miraculous World: Tokyo Stellar Force” will premiere in 2025. Spanning from Paris to Tokyo, the event serves as a gateway to the new series, introducing fans to Japanese culture and tradition as Marinette and Kagami feature as key players who must unite a dynamic new team of Tokyo-based heroes.
“With ’Stellar Force,’ we’re expanding the ‘Miraculous’ universe in bold and exciting directions, with a completely new team, setting and mythology, while staying true to the values that made ’Miraculous’ a global phenomenon,” commented Andy Yeatman, CEO of Miraculous Corp. USA and Global Operations. “Kids around the world will see themselves reflected in these diverse, relatable heroes navigating friendship, identity and teamwork amidst epic cosmic stakes. With its blend of action and comedy and unforgettable characters—’Stellar Force’ is a fresh take on what it means to be a hero and perfectly positioned to become an instant classic!”
“With its dynamic mix of thrilling action, martial arts, heartfelt character arcs, comedy, and stunning views of Tokyo, ’Miraculous Stellar Force’ reinvents the anime superhero genre with style and substance,” said Heath Kenny, Chief Content Officer, Miraculous Corp. “As the friendship between the teens grows, so does their strength as a team—a powerful reminder that true strength comes not just from power, but from the bonds we build along the way.”
