Miraculous is a French media franchise created by writer and director Thomas Astruc and owned by Miraculous Corp., a joint venture of Mediawan and ZAG Entertainment. The franchise follows two Parisian teenagers, Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste, who use magical jewels (two earrings and a ring) known as Miraculous to transform into the superheroes Ladybug and Cat Noir. The powers of these jewels are granted by the Kwamis, ancient magical creatures that personify abstract concepts such as creation, luck, destruction, and curiosity. In addition to the two main heroes, other teenagers in the city also receive their own Miraculous to transform and help protect Paris, this group became known as "The Miraculers." Together, they defend the French capital against attacks by supervillains created from negative emotions, known as akumatized villains.

The franchise began with the main animated series Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir (2015–present), it consists web series, TV movies, animated films, video games, comic books, stage adaptations, manga editions and an extensive line of merchandising.

History

Origins

The first drawing in existence of Ladybug by Thomas Astruc.

Representation of Yin and Yang, a philosophical concept that inspired the duality between Ladybug (creation/luck) and Cat Noir (destruction/bad luck).

The original concept for Ladybug emerged around 2005, conceived by French illustrator and screenwriter Thomas Astruc. The idea was born spontaneously, after meeting a co-worker wearing a ladybug-print t-shirt, he began sketching the character's design on a sticky note. Seeing the potential of his creation, Astruc developed new designs—including fictional comic book covers titled The Mini Menace Ladybug—and built an entire universe around the protagonist, inspired by superhero universes like Marvel's. The project gained momentum when he joined forces with Jeremy Zag, producer of ZAGTOON (now ZAG Entertainment), which allowed for further refinement of the concept.

Astruc drew inspiration from various sources, especially Japanese animation and comics, elements of superheroes similar to Spider-Man, and Franco-Belgian comics. The main character was created following the characteristics of the magical girl genre, like Sailor Moon, while the tone and romantic atmosphere of Paris were especially influenced by the character from the French film Amélie Poulain.

Cat Noir was designed as a symbolic counterpart to Ladybug, based on the Chinese philosophical concept of Yin and Yang. Since ladybugs are traditionally associated with good luck, Astruc created a black cat hero representing bad luck and destruction. His look was inspired by the DC Comics character Catwoman, with a black suit, agility, and the ability to act unnoticed. In terms of personality, he symbolizes freedom: in his ordinary life, Adrien is reserved and limited by his father's rules, while as a superhero he becomes playful, fearless, and expressive.

In the early versions of the project, the character was called Félix and had a colder, more distant temperament. During development, in partnership with Jeremy Zag, the concept was reformulated, Adrien Agreste was then created, and the name Félix was kept to create the character's cousin, Félix Fathom. This change made the relationship between the protagonists more empathetic and accessible to the audience. When Nathanaël Bronn presented the project to Jeremy Zag, he immediately fell in love with the idea: a superhero story set in Paris, combining action, adventure, and romance, with universal values capable of appealing to a global audience. To transform the vision into reality, Zag sought out Aton Soumache of Method Animation, and together they decided to develop the production in an international partnership. The goal was to create a European animation that combined the essence of Western comics, the characteristic French touch, and the dynamism of Japanese animation, as Zag explained: "American-style superheroes, with stories and powers in the Japanese format."

When the project began, there were very few superheroines as protagonists—a scenario that would change drastically just five years later. The producers took a risk: with the exception of the Japanese market, almost no one had ventured to create a heroine of this type as the main character. Experience showed that a female protagonist did not alienate the male audience, as long as there was comedy, adventure and action, in addition to memorable male characters like Cat Noir. The main challenge was to also win over the female audience: the team maintained elements that referred to the universe considered "feminine," but added attributes and powers previously reserved for heroes of the genre. The proposal was exactly that: a series made for girls, but that would also win over boys.

This initiative also arose from a change in the profile of female characters in entertainment, before, they were generally represented as fairies or princesses in search of their prince charming. Starting with productions like The Snow Queen, Rapunzel and The Hunger Games, characters with power, autonomy, and the capacity for action began to be shown, and Miraculous came to consolidate this new approach.

As the creator of the character and the mastermind behind the concept, Astruc also assumed the role of writer and director of the series. Initially, he explored various approaches, but many proved difficult to implement, especially due to the number of partners involved. To reconcile all these points, he worked closely with Sébastien Thibaudeau, the script director, who acted as a link between the parties. The pair defended the original essence of the story while making adjustments to meet the needs of the partners, without distorting the initial idea.

One of the biggest challenges during production was finding screenwriters who understood the language and structure of superhero stories. Astruc worked alongside Thibaudeau to guide the team, as many had a tendency to separate comedic moments from action scenes, instead of naturally weaving them into the narrative.

Visual style

The team included Nathanaël Bronn, responsible for the graphic design of the series. Long known for his previous work with Astruc, he followed the project from its earliest stages. Upon seeing the initial sketches, he immediately recognized the character's potential and helped present them to Jeremy Zag, who showed great interest. Bronn assumed the role of art director and graphic designer, participating in the entire process: defining the visual style of the characters, the settings, the art direction, the color palette, and even the construction of the stories themselves. For him, drawing is, above all, a way of telling stories—and ZAGTOON allowed him to combine these two functions, something relatively rare in the market.

His mission was to create a visual universe that balanced Japanese animation and American comics, without neglecting the French identity. Unlike the standard of muscular and imposing heroes in American comic books, the characters were designed with slender, delicate, and graceful silhouettes, conveying elegance, lightness, and charm—characteristics that directly reference French culture. This approach aligned perfectly with the plot: Marinette dreams of becoming a fashion designer, and Adrien's father works in the fashion world.

The visual design also featured striking color choices: for Ladybug, despite the limited space due to her theme, the combination of red with black dots was maintained as a modern and iconic element. For Cat Noir, the aesthetic was inspired by 1930s design, conveying sophistication, even though he is a character who operates under a mask.

The Kwamis—the small magical creatures that grant powers to the heroes—were inspired by the mascots of 1970s magical girl series, with a touch of Japanese animation.

Overall, the work brings together references from various origins: Bronn's training was influenced by Disney films, Franco-Belgian comics and manga, and these elements merged into a unique and international style. Each tradition contributes in a distinct way: from manga, for example, the magical transformation of the characters was maintained, a feature that does not exist in Western comics.

For the setting, the aim was to unite the traditional image of Paris with the modernity of superheroes, mixing the aesthetics of American comics with the atmosphere of Amélie Poulain. The color palette prioritizes soft, pastel and very luminous tones. The city was represented in an elegant and refined way, simultaneously realistic and with a touch of fantasy, with recognizable landmarks—a technical challenge that required investment but became a trademark of the production.

The inspiration for the Ladybug character came from a combination of references: "Amélie Poulain", "Spider-Man" and "Sailor Moon". From an artistic standpoint, the work represents a balance between Franco-Belgian comics, American comics, and Japanese animation—three styles with very distinct languages, which the team managed to unite harmoniously. The goal was to create a production that reflected the romanticism and beauty of France, presenting attractive superheroines for a female audience, but without resorting to common stereotypes of female characters.

Production, premiere and global success

In 2010, the project was officially presented at the MIPCOM event in Cannes, France. Production was initially led by the French studios Univergroup Pictures and Onyx Films, in partnership with Method Animation and ZAGTOON. At the time, Aton Soumache, from Onyx Films and Method Animation, stated that the objective was "to create a charismatic superheroine with an authentic European identity, set primarily in Paris." The initial proposal envisioned a stereoscopic 3D animated series, but during development, the team opted to adopt computer-generated animation (CGI) as the definitive format.

In the summer of 2012, ZAGTOON partnered with Toei Animation Co., Ltd., the Japanese animation studio owned by Toei Company, to co-produce the series—then still provisionally titled Miraculous, previously called Ladybug. The production had a budget of $11.2 million and was described as a comedy-action series set in Paris, following the adventures of a teenage vigilante with superpowers alongside a mysterious black cat. Its visual style, inspired by manga, featured vibrant colors and reminiscent of acclaimed Toei Animation productions like Dragon Ball Z, Digimon, One Piece, and Pretty Cure. The series also had the co-production of Method Animation, by Aton Soumache. At the time, the French channel TF1 had already secured the rights to broadcast the initial season, consisting of 26 half-hour episodes. Jeremy Zag summarized the project with the phrase: "Paris will finally have its superheroes."

Toei had already shown interest in the international market two years prior with the release of the film HeartCatch Pretty Cure!, set in the French capital, and officially joined the project as a co-producer. The studio developed a 2D anime-style test video, known as the Ladybug PV, directed by Kohei Chikokai and with music composed, produced and performed by Noam Kaniel/Noam who would later work on the current series and was working on Power Rangers Super Samurai at that time. It was initially sent privately on August 26, 2012, but was temporarily made public by mistake on September 5 and 6 of the same year, later being shared by fans. This version featured Félix as the male character—who was later redesigned, giving rise to Adrien Agreste, the holder of the Black Cat Miraculous and his cousin Félix Fathom, the holder of the Peacock Miraculous.

Although the result was of high quality, the team encountered technical difficulties—such as the complexity of animating the character's spots—and realized that the Japanese style made international sales more difficult. Therefore, they decided to maintain the essence of the animation but definitively adopt computer-generated animation (CGI), which offered more flexibility. Furthermore, the series underwent a change in tone: initially darker and aimed at young adults, it was readjusted with the help of script director Sébastien Thibaudeau to become lighter and more accessible to a children's audience.

The first promotional materials in their final format were released later, the first 3D animated video was made available on October 8, 2013, and the second in early February 2014.

On November 21, 2012, an agreement was announced between ZAGTOON, Method Animation, SAMG Animation and SK Broadband, the companies committed to investing a total of $50 million by 2017 for the development of five productions. The first of these was Miraculous, which received an initial investment of $10 million. As part of the contract, SK Broadband secured exclusive rights for on-demand broadcast in South Korea, available to subscribers of its IPTV platform, B TV.

The series, titled Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir (in French: Miraculous: Les aventures de Ladybug et Chat Noir), premiered worldwide on September 1, 2015, in South Korea on the educational channel EBS1. Shortly after, on October 19, 2015, it arrived in France on the TF1 channel, through the TFOU children's block. The show quickly achieved global success, being listed among the Top 10 most popular TV shows on Netflix in the United States and achieving record viewership in China. In August 2019, the Brazilian children's channel Gloob, belonging to Globo, established a co-production partnership with ZAG, officially joining the project and contributing to the development of subsequent seasons.

Currently, Miraculous is considered one of the most successful children's intellectual properties in the world. It has six seasons, television specials, and a feature film released in 2023, available in more than 150 countries. The franchise has over 230 global licensees and has already surpassed the $1 billion mark in worldwide retail sales. The seventh season is in production, with a projected release in 2026.

Corporate structure

Due to the exponential growth of the franchise, producers ZAG and the French independent production company Mediawan joined forces to launch Miraculous Corp. on May 13, 2024. This new label was created to oversee all aspects of ZAG's most successful original intellectual property, Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. The new corporation unites all facets of the franchise under one roof, with Mediawan holding 60% ownership and ZAG retaining the remaining 40%. Franchise co-creator and ZAG founder Jeremy Zag will continue as the majority shareholder and board member, overseeing the development and creation of new stories and characters within the franchise.

Spin-offs

In 2018, Jeremy Zag created the web series ZAG Chibi, a spin-off focused on short slapstick comedy sketches without dialogue, featuring stylized versions (chibi) of the protagonists. Originally produced by ZAGTOON and Method Animation, it premiered on YouTube on August 31, 2018. After a five-year hiatus, the series resumed in 2023 under the new title Miraculous Chibi. Starting with the tenth episode of the first season ("Good Sports"), the production became associated with Miraculous Corp, which also took over the second season of the series, which premiered in November 28, 2025.

The animated musical feature film Ladybug & Cat Noir: The Movie (French title: Miraculous: Le Film) was announced in 2018, with production beginning in 2019. From its conception, it was confirmed that the plot would explore the origins of the franchise and the main characters.

The film had its world premiere on June 11, 2023 at Le Grand Rex in Paris. It is an adaptation of the animated television series of the same name, directed by Jeremy Zag, who also co-wrote the screenplay alongside Bettina Lopez Mendoza. Zag also acted as producer through ZAG, Inc., in co-production with Mediawan Kids & Family, both under The Awakening Production label, in partnership with SND, which was also responsible for distribution.

The official release took place in France on July 5, 2023 by SND. Internationally, the film premiered in theaters in select regions starting on the same date, and was subsequently made available on the Netflix streaming platform in several countries on July 28, 2023.

Sequel film

On July 3, 2023, during a TikTok interview, Jeremy Zag revealed that the script for the sequel to Miraculous: Le Film had already been completed, stating that the first act of the film would be “even more impactful than the ending of the first”. On June 24, 2024, Zag shared concept art of a new character who will appear in the film on his Instagram account.

On May 13 of the same year, ZAG, in collaboration with Mediawan, launched the joint venture Miraculous Corp., which went on to lead the development and production of projects related to the franchise, including the film sequel. On October 19 of the same year, Andy Yeatman revealed in an interview that the second film will be partially set in Paris.

During the Licensing Con 2024 events, held between August 28 and 29, 2024, promotional materials indicated that the film's release had been postponed to 2027. Subsequently, on March 10, 2025, new information released during ABRIN 2025 pointed to a further postponement, with a projected release date of 2028.

On October 13, 2025, it was revealed that producer John Cohen and screenwriter Matt Roller would join the project, working alongside Jeremy Zag, who also serves as a producer on the sequel.

Merchandise

Toys, figures and games

Bandai era

The first partnership between the eponymous animated series and Bandai occurred back in 2015, when the company was named the first global master toy partner. This hugely successful collaboration has given rise to different generations of products over the years. With the series' premiere on December 6, 2015, on Nickelodeon, Bandai announced an ambitious consumer product program. This successful partnership developed in two main eras.

The original launch occurred in 2016, when Bandai formally revealed the first toy line at the US Toy Fair in February. The products officially arrived on global shelves between August and September 2016, including the first 5.5-inch action figures, articulated figures, plush toys, and role-play sets. The global revamp took place between the end of 2020 and 2021, when Bandai launched an updated and expanded line internationally. These new figures, featuring 15 points of articulation and brand-new designs for characters like Queen Bee and Rena Rouge, officially arrived in North American retail stores at Walmart and Target on March 21, 2021.

Consolidation with Playmates Toys

In January 2020, ZAG formalized an alliance, naming Playmates Toys as its new global master toy partner. The debut line, launched in 2021, focused on 10.5-inch fashion dolls. Starting in 2023, Playmates intensified the development of products based on specific productions. The cinematic line, announced in March 2023, featured the award-winning Marinette Collector doll and the Magic Heroez dolls.

One of the highlights of this phase was the Magic Heroez Transformation Dolls line, officially launched in January 2023. With operational registration beginning on January 13 and wide distribution in networks like Walmart starting in April 2023, the line introduced an innovative mechanism, surprise cylinders containing a 10.5-inch doll coated in a shimmering protective layer. When the figure is submerged in water, the layer dissolves, revealing a secret superhero identity (such as Ladybug, Rena Rouge, Bunnyx and Queen Bee), accompanied by themed accessories and the corresponding Kwami. The success of the concept was recognized by the British Toy and Hobby Association (BTHA), which awarded the line in 2023, encouraging the continuation of new series.

In June 2023, the partnership reached a new level with the launch of the line inspired by the animated film Ladybug & Cat Noir: The Movie. Released in July 2023, the collection included fashion dolls of Ladybug and Cat Noir (10.5 and 11 inches, respectively, with 15 points of articulation), the collectible Marinette at the Grand Ball doll (with tulle and satin details and removable accessories), and the iconic Volkswagen e-Beetle vehicle, a real electric car concept that debuted in the film and as a toy, featuring "butterfly" doors, a functional sunroof, and capacity for two dolls and five Kwamis. At the October 2023 Toy Fair, the 2024 lines inspired by the Miraculous World: Paris special were revealed, including the Lady Ubiquity, Shadybug, and Claw Noir dolls, as well as the Wedding Dreams Gift Set and the expansion of the Magic Heroez line.

In January 2024, Playmates Toys announced the launch of the Miraculous Ladybug Paris Heroez Playset, a 1.2-meter-tall replica of the Eiffel Tower, equipped with a working elevator and zip line. The 2024 portfolio was complemented by the Miraculous Hero Switch doll, which changes clothes at the touch of a button, and the Ubiquity and Cosmobug characters.

On February 27, 2025, in celebration of the franchise's tenth anniversary, Miraculous Corp. (a joint venture between ZAG and Mediawan) and Playmates Toys revealed the commemorative collectible doll. Standing 26.6 centimeters tall, the figure features a sparkly outfit, removable cape, iconic yo-yo, and the ancient grimoire of the guardians. To complete the 2025 celebrations, the line was expanded with the Miraculous Ladybug Shake Surprise set and the Miraculous Box Stack Shack Surprise stackable jewelry box.

Strategic partnerships

The product program quickly expanded to include several licensing partners: Rubie's (costumes), Accessory Innovations (bags and backpacks), H.E.R. (jewelry and hair accessories), Komar (sleepwear), Handcraft Manufacturing (underwear), and Franco Manufacturing (bed and bath linens).

The franchise has also expanded into tabletop and card games. The collectible card game Throwdown! was released in physical retail stores on August 17, 2016, followed by an online release on October 12, 2016. The board game Miraculous: Chasing Hawk Moth (French: Miraculous: À la poursuite de Papillon), developed by ZAG Educa, was released on February 14, 2018. Designed as a family game for 2 to 4 players aged 5 and up, it features an average playtime of approximately 15 minutes.

In March 2020, the franchise consolidated its position as one of the five most sought-after brands by children in Italy, with a purchase intention exceeding 70%. A key milestone during this period was the appointment of Playmates Toys as the new global Master Toy, with Bandai acting as the official distributor in the Italian market. This European success paved the way for expansion into North America in February 2021, when ZAG and Playmates Toys detailed the launch of the first line of fashion dolls and collectibles designed to mirror the CGI aesthetic of the series.

In March 2021, at a time of strong expansion in the North American market aligned with the announcement that Disney Channel U.S. would acquire seasons four and five, ZAG revealed a robust wave of new licensing partners. Among them, Crayola (coloring and activity books), Fast Forward (backpacks and lunchboxes), Kid Designs (electronics), Komar Kids (sleepwear), Peachtree Playthings (crafts), Galerie (chocolates and sweets), Inkology (stationery), Trends International (posters and stickers), Card.com (bank cards), Mighty Mojo Toys (party supplies), and All About Vibe (sublimated pillows) stood out.

In 2022, ZAG formalized a strategic partnership with the renowned German brand Playmobil. The agreement was expanded in January 2023 through a collaboration between ZAG Play and the Horst Brandstätter Group, with the agency WildBrain CPLG acting as intermediary. The central objective was the development of a diverse global line, launched in 2024, that adapted Ladybug, Cat Noir, allies, and villains to the iconic Playmobil aesthetic. The collection focuses on detailed scenarios that recreate Parisian environments and popular scenes from the series, promoting creativity through the German brand's unique play principle.

Additionally, in 2022, the collaboration with UPD expanded the musical experience segment with the official launch, on November 17, 2022, of the UPD Miraculous Ladybug Basic Music Set, composed of a tambourine, flute, and maracas.

In January 2023, ZAG announced the creation of its own toy division, ZAG Play Toy, based in Frankfurt and led by Helena Perheentupa and James Nunziati. The division was established to develop innovative products that connect the narrative of the series to the physical and digital world. The inaugural line included Miraculous Miraball (collectible Kwami plush toys made of memory foam), the Kwami Mon Ami plush line, the Miraculous Secrets collectible card game (with thermochromic technology), and roleplay sets such as the T&S Paris Café Set and the Marinettes' Atelier mini functional sewing machine.

The Miraculous Miraball, produced by Wyncor under the ZAG Play label, was officially launched in 2023. The line began with promotional campaigns and unboxing videos on social media in August 2023, and was extensively distributed through major international retail chains throughout the fall of that year. The product stands out for its 4-in-1 surprise structure, which includes a collectible metallic ornament, a compressed Kwami plush that expands, glitter stickers, and a decorative ribbon. The item's commercial success has fueled its continued presence on store shelves, notably with wide national distribution in chains such as Walmart and Carrefour.

ZAG Store expanded its plush toy collections with the Villain Puppets line (released on 2024), featuring handcrafted replicas of Marinettes dolls (Ladybug, Lady Wifi, and Evillustrator), using materials such as felt and yarn for aesthetic fidelity. In parallel, the Mon Ami Kwami line (released on 2023) and its expansion in 2024 introduced detailed, life-size plush toys of characters such as Tikki, Plagg, Fluff, Mullo, and Barkk.

In September 2024, the newly formed Miraculous Corp. signed a pan-European agreement with the Simba Dickie Group to launch, in the first quarter of 2025, a line of bath products under the Glibbi brand, including Glibbi Slime that transforms water into a viscous substance, bath bombs, and temporary tattoos.

In October 2024, Miraculous Corp. announced an exclusive artistic collaboration with renowned French artist Richard Orlinski. This fusion of pop art and entertainment resulted in two meticulously crafted Ladybug figurines: one in monochromatic red and the other multicolored. A 1.5-meter sculpture was unveiled at the Hotel Plaza Athénée on October 8, 2024, while Plastoy released limited-edition 20.3 cm tall vinyl replicas for collectors.

On November 12, 2025, Miraculous Corp. announced the selection of Jazwares as its new exclusive global main toy partner. The agreement foresees the development of a complete ecosystem of products to accompany the new programmed content, such as the 7th season of the main series, scheduled for 2026, and the spin-off series Miraculous: Stellar Force, which will arrive in 2027. The first line signed by the new partner should be launched in the first half of 2027. By the end of 2025, the franchise had already reached the mark of more than 1.5 billion dollars in global retail sales.

In April 2026, Miraculous Corp. unveiled a new and extensive expansion for 2027. Its definitive entry into the consumer technology sector was formalized through a partnership with Hyundai Technology, which will develop tablets, computer accessories, and headphones under the brand. The lifestyle product line will gain new items with perfumes and scented candles created by the French brand West (of the Signature Scent Group). In the toy segment for 2027, Jazwares will present items from the Miraculous Squishmallows line, as well as new action figures and play sets. The partnership with Kakawow (of the Suplay group) resulted in the Kakawow Phantom Miraculous collectible card collection, with a worldwide launch on May 28, 2026. The set is divided into two versions, the Collector's Edition with 986 official models, including cards with signatures, and the Special Edition, which features rare and exclusive items. This initiative further strengthens the brand's presence in the specialized collectibles market.

Clothing and costumes

Playmates Toys has released costume and accessory sets for the main characters. The Ladybug set includes the mask, yo-yo, the Kwami Tikki, earrings, and a color-changing Akuma. The Cat Noir set contains the mask, the (toy) staff, the Kwami Plagg, and the ring. For the complete costume segment, the franchise partnered with Spirit Halloween, which released costumes of characters such as Ladybug, Cat Noir and Rena Rouge.

The American children's clothing brand ImagiKids has developed an extensive line of themed clothing featuring the characters from Miraculous. This line includes girls' shirts, skirts, pajamas, pajama sets, leggings, children's dresses, headbands, zip-up sweatshirts and graphic t-shirt & pants sets.

Stationery and interactive publications

The official partnership with Bendon Publishing was formalized in 2021, initiating a portfolio expansion executed in distinct phases over a multi-year period. In the initial phase, the first wave of products reached retail in January 2021, focusing on high-turnover formats to consolidate the brand's presence in the US mass market, including the 80-page Jumbo Coloring and Activity Book and the 64-page Tear and Share variants. Due to positive commercial performance, the line incorporated printing technologies and interactive elements between the end of 2021 and 2022, notably the Imagine Ink line of books, which use transparent markers to reveal hidden colors, and the Color & Trace books, which introduced translucent paper for drawing. Starting in 2023, the strategy evolved from individual books to integrated activity sets, positioning the brand in retail gift sections with Stamper Marker Sets, which combine books with character ink stampers, and giant activity pads with stickers.

In addition to Bendon's involvement, the franchise significantly expanded its global reach through specialized collaborations. Crayola developed themed activity and coloring books targeted at the UK market, while Inkology took on the production of creative stationery and activity sets. The personalization and collectibles portfolio was completed by Trends International, responsible for creating collectible posters and stickers for the series. These initiatives, along with the 32-page publications that included games, mazes, and puzzles, solidified fan engagement through playful and creative interactions.

Cosmetics and stationery

In 2022, the franchise established a strategic alliance with Horizon Group USA to develop an expansive line of craft kits, creative stationery, and beauty activities. The initial collection's release schedule was executed in three phases throughout the year. On February of the same year, the partnership debuted with three main products focused on personalization and aesthetics. The Miraculous Spots On Beauty Makeover Studio established itself as the core kit focused on nail care, including nail polishes, themed nail stickers, and decorative decals. On the same date, the Miraculous Color-Changing Lip Balm Maker was launched, a "Do It Yourself" (DIY) kit composed of clean formulas that allowed children to create their own lip balms that react to the skin's pH. Completing the trio of releases, the Miraculous Fashion Designer Sketchbook introduced a spiral-bound sketchbook focused on fashion, equipped with stencils, double-ended markers, and stickers for creating and customizing the heroes' uniforms.

Simultaneously, the Miraculous Make Your Own Comic Books kit was released on the same date, designed for children aged 6 and up to create their own superhero stories and adventures in Paris. This comic book set included two blank books with comic strip layouts (one hardcover measuring 25x25 cm and another smaller softcover measuring 15x20 cm, both with 16 double-sided pages each), six double-tipped felt-tip pens (brush and fine), four self-inking stamps with phrases and drawings from the animation, three sticker sheets with the heroes and Kwamis, a stencil sheet with speech bubbles and classic comic book graphic elements, as well as a step-by-step illustrated manual that teaches how to sketch the features of the franchise's main characters.

In April 2022, the line moved into the functional accessories segment with the launch of the Miraculous Create Your Own Color-Changing Water Bottle, a customizable water bottle that changes color according to the liquid's temperature, accompanied by stickers and sparkling stones for decoration. The initial collection concluded in October 25, 2022 with the distribution of the Miraculous 1500+ Super Stickers Book, a giant book containing over 1,500 official stickers of heroes, villains and Kwamis.

The official collaboration with Wyncor marked a subsequent evolution in the cosmetics segment and was officially launched on November 28, 2023. Developed under the ZAG Play premium toy division label, the line debuted in global retail through platforms such as Amazon and Target with the launch of the Miraculous 10-in-1 Beauty Pack sets. This collection was designed to expand the brand's presence in functional pretend play toy categories, while maintaining high international standards of cosmetic safety. The initial year-end launch featured themed bags customized with the characters Marinette, Ladybug, and Rena Rouge. Each complete kit included stylized items such as nail polish shaped like the Eiffel Tower, compact eyeshadows, hair chalk, decorative stickers, and compact magic towels. The technological and interactive differentiator of this line was the magical transformation lipsticks, which change color to a vibrant pink shade upon application and contact with the skin, as well as a multicolored spiral lip gloss and collectible pom-pom pendants of the characters.

Home, school and accessories

The licensed product line has expanded to include everyday items and home decor. For the home, there are reversible children's bedding sets, a Cat Noir-themed coffee mug, and a personalized Marinette keepsake box (Miraculous Sweet Marinette Keepsake Box). In the school and beverage segment, the franchise offers rectangular lunchboxes, children's cups, sports tumblers with lids and straws and microfiber beach towels. ZAG Store has also launched the Marinette bag collection (backpack, shoulder bag, and small purse), in addition to Adrien Agreste School Bag (a reproduction inspired by the series) and macaron-shaped soaps.

Jewelry and official replicas

ZAG Store specializes in the production and sale of high-quality replicas of the Miraculous, encompassing both the active transformation forms and the camouflage versions used by the wearers in their daily lives. In the ring line, the replicas of Cat Noir's Transformation Ring and Adrien Agreste's Camouflage Ring stand out. The earring collection offers Ladybug's official ladybug earrings, as well as Marinette's Camouflage Earrings (available in stud and clip-on styles) and the camouflage version also used by Adrien.

Other notable items of technical relevance in the collection are the Purple Tigress panjas-style bracelet and the Goat Hair Clip in its camouflage form.

On May 28, 2026, Miraculous Corp. expanded its luxury accessories portfolio by launching a global collaboration with the Reorah Collection brand. Named Miraculous x Reorah, the collection of limited and collectible pieces featured sophisticated jewelry designs inspired by the Parisian setting, the bonds of friendship, and the transformation concepts of the series' heroes. The technical catalog for this collaboration on the manufacturer's official website included a line of pieces with thermochromic technology and functional medallions. Among the products that change color with temperature variation are the Cat Noir Ring and the Ladybug Earrings, which alternate the shades of their surfaces to simulate the activation effect of the powers seen in the animation. In the category of reliquaries and structured medallions, the collection features the Ladybug YoYo Locket necklace, designed in the shape of a reliquary that opens to reveal a purified butterfly, the Ladybug and Cat Noir Couple Necklace, and the Spinning YoYo Lucky Charm Necklace. As a complement, a thematic sub-collection of thin pendant necklaces dedicated to the mystical creatures of the franchise was developed, containing the official models of the Plagg Necklace, Tikki Necklace, and Rena Rouge or Trixx Necklace.

The series included volumes focused on the origins of the heroes, such as Les Origines: Tome 1 (released on August 22, 2017) and Les Origines: Tome 2 (released on November 28, 2017), adapting the episodes "Ladybug & Cat Noir" and "Stoneheart," respectively.

Action Labs's comics

Cover A of issue 1 in the "Miraculous: Adventures" comic book series

In America, the franchise has an American comic book series based on the animated series, known as Miraculous: Adventures of Ladybug & Cat Noir. Originally, Action Lab Comics planned to publish Miraculous Adventures as part of a series of four monthly comic books containing original stories, along with titles such as Tales of Ladybug and Tales of Cat Noir. However, due to the cancellation of the other three series, Miraculous Adventures became the only known comic book series to contain original stories and not just adaptations of existing episodes.

The series was published by Action Lab Comics in the United States. Production began in 2016, and the first volume was released on July 19, 2017. The series was canceled after the release of five volumes, although eight volumes had initially been planned.

As of 2021, Action Lab Comics lost the publishing rights in the US. In 2022, Mad Cave Studios took over the licensing, announcing plans to publish a new series of graphic novels starting in 2024. Strategically, in the initial development phase of the franchise in 2010, there were already plans for Univergroup to release 10 digital comic books for iPad and iPhone, written by Thomas Astruc.

Discography

The Miraculous franchise features an official discography consisting of soundtrack albums released for television specials and cinematic productions. Music has always played an important role in the identity of the series, particularly in special episodes and in its musical feature film.

The franchise's soundtrack discography began in December 2016 with the Christmas-themed album Miraculous Christmas Album, released by ZAG Records. The album includes songs and musical themes from the series' Christmas special and represents the first official music release within the Miraculous universe.

In 2023, the franchise significantly expanded its musical presence with the release of the animated musical film Ladybug & Cat Noir: The Movie. Two separate albums were released in connection with the film: the Original Soundtrack, featuring the songs performed in the movie, and the Score Album, which consists of the instrumental score. Both albums were released by ZAG, TF1 Musique and Muzeek One.

As of now, no complete official album compiling the instrumental soundtrack of the regular television series has been released, despite the large number of original compositions created throughout its seasons. Additional soundtrack releases may occur as the franchise continues to expand through films, specials, and new formats.

Localized entertainment

The franchise's expansion beyond the screen has been consolidated through the development of permanent and temporary immersive attractions around the world, operated under the Miraculous Corp.'s localized entertainment division.

On January 20, 2026, Miraculous Corp. formalized a direct strategic partnership with Ground Control Entertainment (also referred to as GC Entertainment) for the development of the world's first family entertainment center entirely inspired by the main series, named Miraculous Adventure. Initially planned for the spring, the opening of the main unit in the prestigious Mall of Qatar shopping center in Doha was set for August 2026, marking the brand's official entry into the Middle Eastern market. Under the management of Andy Yeatman (CEO of Miraculous Corp USA and Global Operations) and Mohamed Mahmoud (CEO and founder of GC Entertainment), the Doha space was designed to merge heroic narratives with physical activities, aimed especially at children aged 4 to 12 and with the capacity to accommodate up to 200 visitors simultaneously. The center is divided into multiple themed zones for creative exploration, including parkour arenas, trampolines, gamified climbing walls, multi-level rope courses, and environments that simulate the charm of the French capital. The complex also features an official franchise merchandise store and a Parisian-style café called Parisian-style Boulangerie Cafe, both accessible to ticket holders and the general public of the shopping mall. Following the consolidation of this main unit in Doha, the direct agreement with Ground Control Entertainment was expanded to plan new facilities in the cities of Jeddah and Mecca, in Saudi Arabia.

Later, on March 12, 2026, the company announced a partnership with interactive experience producer MOIR for the launch of Miraculous Experience: Superhero Training, a traveling technology attraction. Opened on April 3, 2026 at the Paris Marriott Rive Gauche Hotel & Conference Center in Paris, the experience was designed by Andy Yeatman and Kristian Gilroy, focusing on families and children from the age of five. Occupying a total area of 1,400 square meters, the installation is divided into seven interactive themed rooms that utilize advanced visuals and sensors. The narrative puts participants in the role of new recruits in training to assist Ladybug and Cat Noir in protecting Paris against the villain Monochroma, requiring collective decision-making and simulated collaborative challenges on the city's rooftops.

According to Roz Nowicki, Global Director of Consumer Products at Miraculous Corp., location-based entertainment has become an essential aspect of connecting fans to the brand's universe. To support this growth on an international scale and expand beyond the Middle East and Paris, Miraculous Corp. officially broadened the scope of representation of WildBrain CPLG. The agency will now lead global efforts to promote new themed attractions, exhibitions, and experiential formats, operating in a complementary manner to the direct contracts already established by the corporation.
