I was checking out the latest updates on my Twitter news feed when I happened upon a post that mentioned this article about Miraculous: LB/CN. The original article was in French. Which, of course, I can't read, so I had Google do the work for me and translate the article into English. According to Google:
** If you missed season 1 ...
Marinette and Adrien are nominated in spite of themselves to defend Paris of super-villains envied by the mysterious Butterfly. Thanks to their kwami (Tikki and Plagg, ancestral small creatures) and their Miraculous (earrings for one and a ring for the other), the two schoolgirls have the power to secretly transform themselves into Ladybug and Chat Black, superheroes. Who is behind the mask of the Butterfly? Why does he want to harm the city of Paris and recover at any price the Miraculous of Ladybug and Black Cat?
At the end of the first season, two special episodes made it possible to understand how Marinette and Adrien were in possession of their Miraculous. Without knowing his identity, we discovered the birth of Papillon - via another Miraculous - and the importance of an ancestral book tracing the history of superheroes. Finally, they showed the existence of other Miraculous, besides those of the ladybug, the cat and the butterfly: the tortoise bracelet, held by the kwamis healer (Master Fu), the bee pin, the collar of the fox and the pin of the peacock (hidden in the safe of the father of Adrien, Gabriel Agreste).
** The Beginning of Season 2
We will not reveal the details of the first two episodes to preserve the pleasure of the viewers to discover them. The story resumes in the continuation of episode 24 of season 1 entitled Volpina where Adrien had recovered, in the safe of his father, an ancestral book retracing the story of the superheroes. A book that Marinette seized to show it to the healer of kwamis.
Very quickly, important revelations are made and the story takes a totally unexpected turn. Some characters take on another dimension and the clashes of Ladybug and Black Cat against the super villains of Papillon continue. All in a Parisian universe always so magnificent and with an omnipresent humor.
** New characters
Two new students join the college and will turn the heads of Marinette and Adrien: Kagami and Luka. Master Fu, the kwamis healer and Miraculous guardian, will call on new characters (Queen B, Rena Red and Carapace) to punctually put on other superhero costumes "during particularly difficult missions." New allies and also new powers for Ladybug and Black Cat. The whole thing to put under evil the terrible plan that Papillon "prepares for a very long time and which it intends to put to execution".
Like Josiane Balasko, who was modeled in an episode of season 1 (and who had ensured her dubbing in French), the skater Philippe Candeloro and the actor Dany Boon will in their turn make their appearance. Their respective characters will have an important role since it will be captivated by Papillon and will turn into super-villain. Less well-known in France, the singer Laura Marano, interpreter of the credits in English, will also be modeled ... and "akumatisée".
** New locations
One of the forces of Miraculous Ladybug is that it takes place in a relatively faithful version of Paris. Producers have obtained agreements to evolve their characters in the midst of unmissable monuments such as the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Pont des Arts, the Louvre, the Grand Palais and even the Parc des Princes ( renamed Stade des Princesses ) . For season 2, the Sorbonne, the Canal Saint-Martin, the Place de la Concorde with its Ferris wheel and the Musée Grévin come to add this list.
** A new Generic
The melody remains the same but the incarnation changes. Lou and the Canadian Lenni-Kim, revelations of The Voice Kids , share the credits of the program with a lot of freshness and enthusiasm. At 13, the young singer released her first album on October 6, while the second will be, at 16 years, the youngest of the casting of season 8 of Dance with stars .
As a bonus ...
- After the special Christmas episode, Worst Christmas, two other special episodes will be unveiled on the sidelines of this season. The Queen Fights will be a trilogy of the Queen Queen, Queen Wasp and Malediktor episodes. And Heroes' Day will be a special two-part episode where all the superheroes will face "the best of the worst super villains."
A season 3 is already under construction as well as a project of feature film "in Live Action" planned for 2020 produced by the studio Lionsgate. Finally, a humorous 2D webseries with a miniature version of Ladybug and Chat Noir will soon be unveiled.
