Mediawan and ZAG have launched a joint-venture – Miraculous Corp – that reunites all facets of the Miraculous franchise.

Under the ownership of the two partners – approximately 60% for Mediawan, 40% for ZAG – Jeremy Zag will continue his involvement as a major shareholder and board member, while overseeing the development and creation of existing and new characters within the franchise.

“After all these years dedicated to passionately developing the Miraculous universe alongside Thomas Astruc, Nathanaël Bronn and Sébastien Thibaudeau, this new chapter of our journey with Mediawan will allow us to fulfill our wildest dreams, matching the ambition we have for Miraculous,” said Jeremy Zag, Founder and President of ZAG.

“We are poised to introduce a groundbreaking universe of superheroes, one that not only captivates audiences worldwide but also champions the principles of girl power and gender equality. This innovative universe will transcend borders, captivating audiences in various forms across the globe. My partnership with Pierre-Antoine Capton is fundamental; we share a vision for this unprecedented expansion of a French franchise, and together, we embark on this extraordinary adventure every day.”

Pierre-Antoine Capton, Founder and President of Mediawan, added: “Miraculous is the result of the encounter between two visionary producers, Jeremy Zag and Aton Soumache, and a highly talented creative team that managed to bring to life and support the development of an unmatched work of French animation.

“Today, Miraculous stands as an emblematic brand of Mediawan, and the introduction of Miraculous Corp, along with the formation of a dedicated team for its development, will allow us to explore new creative territories and further enhance its global presence. I am extremely proud, along with all the Mediawan teams, to be part of this exceptional adventure, which reflects the confidence that the group places in its IP.”
