Mattel and Nickelodeon offer sneak peek of Monster High series

Published on: 28th September 2022

The all-new animated series of Monster High premieres next month in the US and later in the year in the UK.

Nickelodeon and Mattel have revealed a sneak peek clip and official key art for the original animated series Monster High, which premieries in the US on 28th October on Nickelodeon. The comedy-adventure series following the teenage children of famous monsters will also debut in Canada, the UK and Australia later this year on Nickelodeon and Paramount+, and in additional international territories in 2023.

The all-new series (26 episodes) follows Clawdeen Wolf, Draculaura, Frankie Stein, and Deuce Gorgon, as they discover who they are, embrace their differences, and learn to be fierce and fearless at the one place they all belong: Monster High.

The all-star lineup of additional voice talent has also been announced including Ken Marino (Reno 911!) as Dracula, who is about 4,000 years old and Draculaura’s dad. He wants to be a good father but does not always have the necessary tools for the job.

Felicia Day (Mystery Science Theater 3000) is Ghoulia Yelps, a zombie and top gamer at Monster High, who is curious, clever, and has ultra-fast fingers, while Valeria Rodriquez (The Valley of Tears) is Spectra Vondergeist, a ghostly girl who makes up for her translucent appearance by being super chatty. She just wants to be seen.

Scott Menville (Teen Titans Go!) is Romulus, the current head of the were-pack at Monster High, though he’s still got a bit of learning and growing to do, while Cole Massie (Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers) is Finnegan Wake, a charming and chilled merman who uses a wheelchair to get around on land. He has a beautiful singing voice, just like his aunties, the sirens.

Victoria T Washington (Dropouts) is Howleen, a natural leader who values integrity over the pack mindset and always speaks her mind, and Jordan R. Coleman (A Million Little Things) is Manny Taur. Big, bull-headed Manny looks like a brute, but he’s the gentlest kid at school and with his penchant for solving puzzles, he’s one of the only students that can compete with Draculaura for honors as a top student.

Krystina Alabado (Sesame Street Mecha Builders) takes on the role of Nefera De Nile, the mummy who has it all – beauty, popularity, royalty, and a heart of gold.

The new voice actors join previously announced cast members Gabrielle Nevaeh Green (Clawdeen Wolf), Courtney Lin (Draculaura), Iris Menas (Frankie Stein), Tony Revolori (Deuce Gorgon), Kausar Mohammed (Cleo De Nile), Valeria Rodriguez (Lagoona Blue), Alexa Kahn (Torelei Stripe), Alexander Polinsky (Heath Burns), and Debra Wilson (Headmistress Bloodgood).

In addition to the animated series, a live-action television movie musical based on the iconic franchise is slated to premiere on Thursday 6th October on Nickelodeon and Paramount+. Both projects join other Mattel Television content in production, including series and specials based on Barbie, Masters of the Universe, Thomas & Friends, Polly Pocket, Pictionary and Fireman Sam, to name a few.

Mattel first introduced Monster High in 2010, and it quickly became one of the most successful and beloved kids’ properties of all time. The franchise seeks to foster a more accepting world where everyone is proud to be their authentic self, which is more relevant now than ever before.Today, Monster High is back with a reimagined set of characters reflected in a new set of dolls, accessories, apparel, costumes and more inspired by the original ghouls for a new generation that embraces what makes them unique and rallies people everywhere to express themselves.
