Nickelodeon's 'Monster High' Has Been Renewed For Season 2

TV & Film

Nov 19

It looks like the new generation of Monster High is off to an impressive start. Nickelodeon has renewed the Mattel toy franchise’s first animated series for a second season, just weeks after its October 28 premiere, and through only three episodes. The second season will be 20 episodes, the same as the first. This third generation of the franchise centers around the children of famous monsters and creatures, primarily Clawdeen, a werewolf, Dracula’s daughter Draculaura, and Frankie Stein.

This also comes off of the live-action Monster High: The Movie, which premiered on October 6 on Nickelodeon and Paramount+. It was the top kids and family movie on the latter during its launch week, while reaching 4M total linear viewers across its premiere weekend, doubling its target demo audience in Live+3 numbers, and under that adding another 1.8 million total viewers. These were numbers so impressive that a sequel was greenlit just three days before the series premiered. It will have the same rollout plan as the first film. It begins production in January in Vancouver, Canada, and is expected to premiere later in 2023, probably Halloween time again. Both avenues of the franchise were announced in February 2021.

The movie starred Miia Harris, Nayah Damasen, and Ceci Balagot as Clawdeen, Draculaura, and Frankie respectively, while the series has Gabrielle Nevaeh Green, Iris Menas, and Courtney Lin voicing the roles. Tony Revolori, who played Flash Thompson in the MCU Spider-Man films, voices Deuce Gorgon, the son of the Gorgon Medusa in the animated series. The role was played by Case Walker in the movie. Cast returns for the film sequel are probably expected but none are confirmed. For the series’s second season, Monster High will dive even deeper into character backgrounds and continue expanding on the theme of friendship. It is unknown when the series will arrive on Paramount+, as Nickelodeon series tend to arrive rather slowly.
