In this today’s freshly streaming episodes of Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai, fans learn the answer to one of the critters’ greatest secrets: Where did the Mogwai come from? Max has dropped a sneak peek clip from episode six, “Always Buy a God a Drink First,” featuring Golden Globe winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve, Turning Red, Raya and the Last Dragon, Invincible) as the voice of the goddess Nuwa.
Series Synopsis: Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai takes viewers back to 1920s Shanghai where the Wing family first meets the young Mogwai called Gizmo. Sam Wing (future shop owner Mr. Wing in the 1984 Gremlins film) accepts the dangerous task to take Gizmo home and embarks on a journey through the Chinese countryside. Sam and Gizmo are joined by a teenage street thief named Elle, and together, they encounter — and sometimes battle — colorful monsters and spirits from Chinese folklore. Along their quest, they are pursued by a power-hungry industrialist and his growing army of evil Gremlins.
