Zach Galligan Is Returning For HBO Max’s New Series “Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai’

Original Gremlins star Zach Galligan is returning for a new role in HBO Max’s upcoming animated prequel series “Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai,” which tells the story of how 10-year-old Sam Wing acquired Gizmo back in the 1920s. “I can’t say too much but because it’s 1920s China, I’m not playing Billy because he wasn’t around,” Galligan said at SDCC. “So I’m playing this cool character. It was really fun and amazing to work with a new group of creative people who are taking a fresh look at the franchise and are expanding the mythology—who knows what they’re going to add. Maybe they’ll add a new transformation or a new rule we don’t know about yet… I think Gremlins fans are going to eat it up.” It looks like Zach Galligan will be back in Gremlins once again! Although, this time it won’t be as the Billy that we are used to. Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai is an all-new
