Mattel Studios is the media production and distribution arm of American toy manufacturing and entertainment company Mattel. It was formed on 2 June 2025 as a merger, combination and consolidation of Mattel Films and Mattel Television (alternatively known by Mattel as Mattel Television Studios)[1][2][3][4] This is seen as a revival of the brand/banner Mattel used occasionally or sparingly between 2011 and 2013 in place of their logo in the end credits for media entries for Monster High, Ever After High and Polly Pocket. Consequently/Consequentially, productions in development at both Mattel Films and Mattel Television will be absorbed into/transferred to this division. With the announcement, Mattel promoted and transferred the head of their filming division, Mattel Films, Robbie Brenner, to the new division as president and its chief content officer. Mattel Studios also named former Legendary Entertainment executive vice president of television and digital media, Jennifer Breslow, the head of its television section and Darian Lanzetta, a former motion picture literary agent at the Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and Tom McNulty, former principal/president at MC Squared Media as co-heads of its filming section. All these three are expected to report to Brenner in the future media decisions of Mattel.
On 4 June 2025, Mattel announced that M3GAN 2.0 director Gerard Johnstone as the director of an upcoming live-action "Monster High film" in development with Universal Pictures and Weed Road Pictures.[5][6]"Gerard Johnstone on board to direct live-action Monster High movie".
