Miraculous Corp—the joint venture between Mediawan and ZAG — has announced the global rollout of Miraculous™ Chibi, a fast-paced 2D animated “chibi-style” comedy series (52 x 3-minutes) that reimagines the Miraculous™universe through a wildly expressive, non-verbal slapstick lens. Designed for digital-first audiences with a sweet spot of kids ages 5-11, Miraculous Chibi will be delivering in Q4. The first batch of episodes are anticipated to launch Q4 2025 on the Miraculous™ YouTube channel, with additional episodes to roll out through 2026. Disney Branded Television has acquired the series to debut on its platforms in 2026. France’s TFI has also acquired the series for a 2026 release.

The new Miraculous™ Chibi series brings Ladybug, Cat Noir, and friends, into a dynamic, action-packed world filled with cute comedic adventure and misguided missions, capturing the magic of Miraculous™ in a whole new way! Each episode spotlights one of our beloved heroes, obsessively following a crazy goal as they navigate hilarious obstacles in the heart of beautiful Parisian locations—from Marinette’s family bakery, along the Champs-Elysee, to the top of the Eiffel Tower—with expressive animation, emoji-style effects, and a whirlwind of comedic chaos. Whether its Cat Noir’s overconfidence gone wrong, Marinette’s adorably awkward disasters, or a self-driving car with a mind of its own, each Chibi short is designed to delight—one comedic misadventure at a time.
