EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT) and Nickelodeon today announced that the second season of the hit animated series Monster High will premiere on Monday, March 11, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon. Everyone’s favorite boo crew will meet more fangtastic friends, fiends, and families, and face spookier challenges in the haunted halls of Monster High! All-new episodes featuring original and legacy characters alike will continue to debut on Nickelodeon.

In the half-hour season premiere, "Rule School,” Clawdeen finds that balancing school with her new role as Were-Ruler is way more challenging than she thought. As she faces her first big task as Were-Ruler, Clawdeen makes a decision that will shake up the were-world.

It’s a new semester in the 20-episode second season. The boo crew find themselves navigating a variety of monstrous situations, including a vacation at Scare-adise Resort that takes a mysterious turn, a mythological showdown during a music festival, a magic-powered competitive game night, and more. Throughout the all-new season, monster mayhem is always on the menu at Monster High. With each pop quiz the undead life throws their way, the fan-favorite monsters learn that they have what it takes to change the world.
