Monster High, the ghoulish toy line, is getting another stab at television with a new animated series and the franchise’s first live-action project.

Nickelodeon and Mattel have teamed up on two projects featuring the Clawdeen Wolf, Draculaura and Frankie Stein characters.

The ViacomCBS-owned network will premiere the two projects in 2022.

The animated series will follow the characters as they navigate the hilarity of high school in the hallowed halls of Monster High.

“These classic monsters have always captured kids’ imaginations and we are so excited and proud to welcome Monster High to our brand for a new generation of kids,” said Ramsey Naito, President of Nickelodeon Animation. “We have terrific partners on board at Mattel to create original content in different formats, and, with the expertise of the Nick creative team helmed by Claudia Spinelli on the animation development side, and Zack Olin and Shauna Phelan on the live-action side, we can’t wait to showcase the comedy and adventure of these characters as they defy expectations and take on the world.”

“Monster High’s strong message of inclusivity is more relevant than ever,” said Fred Soulie, General Manager, Mattel Television. “Nickelodeon shares our passion for the brand and its purpose having worked on the franchise when it first launched more than a decade ago. They are the ideal partners to bring these beloved characters and their stories to life through episodic television and the live-action television movie.”

“We could not be more excited to work with Ramsey, Claudia, Zack, Shauna, our writers and the entire Nickelodeon animation and live-action teams to introduce Monster High to a new audience,” added Mattel’s Bonnet. “This property has always resonated deeply with fans and our reimagination of the franchise will focus on addressing important themes of identity and empowerment for kids today.”

Can’t imagine a live action but still cool

I remember when they first came out I started to collect their dolls . Now as a adult I still collect them and use them as a customize doll to make my own dolls . But to find more of these dolls I have to go on eBay to find and buy them .... I can’t imagine how the live action one will look like ...

I love how even Mattel are now trying to act like the last reboot didn’t even happen. 
Nick wasn’t good to Winx so I’m not getting my hopes up. The original was a great show and I’m not sure how they could ever top it. 
Not sure about a live action either...

To be fair when monster high first came out in 2010 their was plans for a live action musical film:

In June 3, 2010, The Wall Street Journal reported on the various ways Mattel intended to promote Monster High. One of these was a live-action movie musical, which would be co-produced with Universal Pictures and directed by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron.
