The company consists of the popular Miraculous franchise which includes Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, and the label The Awakening Production, which was founded a few years prior and produced Ladybug & Cat Noir: The Movie.

History

On May 13, 2024, following the global success of the French animated series Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, ZAG Entertainment joined forces with Mediawan to create the joint venture Miraculous Corp., which became responsible for controlling, managing and expanding the franchise. In the shareholding structure, Mediawan owns 60% of the company, while ZAG retains the remaining 40%. Jeremy Zag remains the main shareholder and board member, continuing to oversee the creative development of new storylines and heroes.[3]

On June 10, 2024, the company announced the hiring of Andy Yeatman as CEO of Miraculous Corp USA and globally. Yeatman, formerly a director at Moonbug Entertainment (known for producing the hit CoComelon) and founder of Netflix's children's content division, was chosen to lead business operations and the growth of the franchise into an "expanded universe." Under his leadership, the company plans to accelerate the development of new TV movies, spin-off series, and the highly anticipated feature film Miraculous: Le Film 2.[4]

The administrative expansion continued on October 17, 2024, with the appointment of veteran Roz Nowicki as Global Head of Consumer Products. Reporting to Yeatman, Nowicki brought over three decades of experience from giants such as Mattel, Peanuts Worldwide, 20th Century Fox, 4Kids Entertainment, Universal Pictures and The Walt Disney Company. Under her leadership, the company charted global strategies for consumer products, games, promotions and live events.[5]

In December 2024, the corporation announced two more key appointments to strengthen its global presence. Heath Kenny, with 25 years of experience and stints at Mercury Filmworks and Gaumont Animation, took on the role of Chief Content Officer, coordinating the creation and delivery of new formats across all platforms. Ashley Depp, formerly of Paramount Pictures and having led marketing strategies for global hits such as Top Gun: Maverick and Sonic the Hedgehog, in addition to a 13-year career at Universal Studios, has become Senior Vice President of Marketing and Franchising. Deep is now responsible for amplifying the brand's narrative and leading the franchise's strategic planning. The management team also includes Maria Doolan (Partnerships and Content Distribution), Luc Schoumacher (Chief Financial Officer), who also performs financial and operational functions within the Mediawan group, and Ben Johnson (Head Legal), responsible for the company's global legal affairs and also Senior Vice President of Legal at ZAG Entertainment.[6]

On June 11, 2025, during the Annecy Festival, Miraculous Corp. announced a significant expansion for the Miraculous franchise. Plans for seasons 6, 7, and 8, and the special Miraculous World: Rio were revealed. One of the highlights was the project for the television film Miraculous World: Tokyo, Stellar Force (released on November 1, 2025), which features Power Rangers-style hero costumes and uses hand-drawn 2D animation inspired by Japanese anime. On October 1, 2025, the company appointed WildBrain CPLG to lead licensing efforts outside the Americas including EMEA and Asia-Pacific, consolidating the global strategy for the franchise's 10th anniversary. As part of this new phase, the corporation confirmed the release of a full season of Miraculous Chibi for the end of 2025 and the premiere of the first official spin-off series, Miraculous Stellar Force, scheduled to premiere in 2027, marking the expansion of the franchise's narrative universe.[7][8]
