The upcoming live-action movie will kickstart the second reboot of the franchise, as the Monster High characters are introduced to a new generation. Unfortunately, the reboot was short-lived, with the last animated film released in 2017. The franchise kept expanding until 2016 when Mattel rebooted the characters, giving them updated designs and origin stories. The success of the toy line and the web series led to the creation of several animated movies, books, and video games.

To promote the line of dolls, Mattell also released a Monster High web series in 2010, following the main characters’ adventures while they go to a unique high school made for the sons of monsters. Introduced by Mattel in 2010, the Monsters High line of fashion dolls is based on classic horror monsters, such as vampires, werewolves, and gorgons. The live-action film and the animated series will air on Nickelodeon, as Mattel Television expands the number of TV shows and movies based on its most popular toy franchises.


The Monster High live-action movie is also joined by a new animated series set in the same universe, and both productions are slated to premiere in 2022. Mattel and Nickelodeon have announced the start of production on the Monster High live-action TV movie musical.
