Animation studio ZAG has signed with Mad Cave Studios for a series of graphic novels to be published through its Papercutz and Maverick imprints for global hit brand Miraculous. Aimed at young adult and middle-grade readers, the first titles in the series will be available in 2024 across North America.

Set in modern-day Paris, the globally loved Miraculous TV series, currently in its fifth season  and available on broadcast outlets and streaming platforms in over 120 countries across the globe, follows the adventures of two seemingly typical teens with secret identities, Marinette and Adrien, who magically transform into superheroes, Ladybug and Cat Noir. For superhero movie fans everywhere, the animated blockbuster Miraculous: Ladybug & Cat Noir, The Movie, will launch on Netflix on July 28, 2023, and theatrically in select countries. The theatrical roll-out will commence in early July in France by SND and in Germany by StudioCanal, as well as in China, Belgium, Switzerland, Poland and the Eastern Europe region, Russia, Greece, Turkey, and Israël. With broad appeal across age demographics, Miraculous has become a digital planetary craze with over 35 billion views on YouTube (authorized and user-generated content).

ZAG’s licensing and merchandising, gaming, and promotions groups, focus on developing products and experiences beyond the screen into brands that inspire the new generation to discover their true character.
