Wrestling legend Rey Mysterio is getting his own animated series.

Titled Rey Mysterio vs. The Darkness, the show will debut on Cartoon Network Latin America sometime in 2022, as confirmed on Thursday.

The series will be comprised of 10 episodes. Spanish and English versions of the first episode were included as part of Cartoon Network Latin America's original announcement video, though these clips are no longer available.

The following summary of Rey Mysterio vs. The Darkness has been released:-

Rey Mysterio vs. The Darkness tells the story of Oscar, a wrestling fan, who will team up with his idol, Rey Mysterio, to face supernatural beings and fight against the forces of evil; villains from the world of wrestling and characters from Mexican traditions and the world of fantasy. Behind these extraordinary opponents is Uroboros, an evil fighter who uses dark forces that he does not fully understand. Rey Mysterio and Oscar must work together and do their best to defend the city and themselves from his evil plans.

WarnerMedia's Jaime Jiménez Rión, meanwhile, has said the following:-

"We are very excited to be able to share with Cartoon Network and Rey Mysterio fans more details and color of this incredible production made in Mexico. We are confident that you will enjoy the surprises we have in store and that the show will meet all your expectations."

Mysterio himself will serve as an executive producer on the project.
