The loveable yet murderous Mogwai haven't had a movie of their own since 1990's Gremlins 2: The New Batch. And that film was... yeah, it was ok. It wasn't Gremlins 1, but it was fine.

But Joe Dante's comedy horror classic might finally be getting its long-awaited third instalment in 2023, if reports are to be believed.

A third Gremlins picture has been talked about for years, with scriptwriter Chris Columbus giving an interview about it all the way back in 2017. Presumably this was just after he discovered America.

However, the time has seemingly come for Gizmo and pals to make their big comeback, as IMDB has December 2023 down as a potential release date for Gremlins 3.

Even if the film never happens, Mogwai fans will get still get their fill.

Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai is an upcoming animated series that will serve as a prequel to the first two Gremlins movies. Its ten episodes will drop on HBO Max in 2023 and will explain how a young Sam Wing first met Gizmo.

So there you have it, one way or another, your Gremlins fix will be satisfied.
