TV

The animated series, which will center on young Mavis, will serve as the prequel of the movie of the same name and is set to premiere on Sunday, June 25 on Disney Channel.

AceShowbiz - Corus Entertainment's Nelvana and Sony Pictures Animation have unveiled the details of their new animated series "Hotel Transylvania: The Series", which is based on blockbuster movie "Hotel Transylvania". Premiere date and its first-look image have been released alongside its first teaser.

The brief teaser features young Mavis and her monster friends creating chaos at Dracula's Hotel Transylvania. She and her friends can be seen skateboarding at the titular hotel. The teaser is in 2D animation, unlike the feature films. Judging by the teaser, it seems like fans can rest assured that the series will feature classic monsters, such as the mummy and Frankenstein's monster.

Meanwhile, the first-look image sees Mavis and her friends having fun. One of her friends, presumably Wendy Blob, is seen patting Mavis' head adorably, while the young vampire is lying prone on the floor with a comic book in front of her.

The 26x22-minute series serves as the prequel to 2013's monster comedy hit "Hotel Transylvania" and will revolve around Dracula's teenage daughter, Mavis, and her three closest friends, Hank N Stein, Pedro and Wendy Blob. With Dracula away on "Official Vampire Business," Mavis finally sees her chance to show her father what she can do. With the help of her friends, she decides to put her brilliant ideas of how to run the Hotel into motion, but enter Aunt Lydia, Dracula's older and much meaner sister. While Mavis and friends are ready to let loose and have fun, Aunt Lydia pushes for even more order and tradition at the Hotel.

"We are thrilled to be teaming up with Disney Channel to share the visual and epic storytelling of 'Hotel Transylvania: The Series' with audiences worldwide," said Scott Dyer, the president of Nelvana. "Working with our partners at Sony Pictures Animation, we are excited to build on the incredible global success of the franchise and bring the world of Hotel Transylvania to the small screen and family-friendly digital platforms."

"We are so excited to expand the Hotel Transylvania franchise into television," said Rick Mischel, executive producer at Sony Pictures Animation. "We look forward to bringing the prequel to audiences worldwide and to sharing the hilarious adventures of a younger Mavis and her monster pals. As we look to the upcoming launch of the original short Puppy! In theaters this summer and 'Hotel Transylvania 3' in 2018, the television series will keep the franchise fresh and the characters will become a part of families' everyday lives."

"Hotel Transylvania: The Series" is set to premiere on Disney Channel on Sunday, June 25 at 8 P.M., with new episodes airing every night at the same hour through Thursday, June 29. The first episode will be available on the Disney Channel app, YouTube and VOD on Tuesday, June 20. The series will air in its regular timeslot beginning on Sunday, July 9 at 8.30 P.M on Disney Channel.
