Rey Mysterio Animated Series Set To Debut In 2022

Earlier this week, WWE Raw star and legend Rey Mysterio teased that he would be making a major announcement that would ‘change the history of Rey Mysterio’.

The announcement is set to confirm an upcoming animated series developed by Mysterio and studio ¡Viva Calavera! entitled ‘Rey Mysterio vs. La Oscuridad’ (which translates to Rey Mysterio vs The Darkness).

The show is described as an action and comedy show, and will follow Mysterio and a wrestling fan named Oscar as they battle the forces of evil, both in the form of lucha libre and the supernatural. The main antagonist is named ‘Uroboros’.

The press release reads as followed:

“We are very excited to be able to share with Cartoon Network and Rey Mysterio fans more details and color of this incredible production made in Mexico,” Jaime Jiménez Rión, Vice President of Content and Original Production, WarnerMedia Kids & Family, Latin America, said. “We are confident that you will enjoy the surprises we have in store and that the show will meet all your expectations.”

“To have an action-comedy series on Cartoon Network is a dream come true,” noted ¡Viva Calavera! founders The Skull Brothers. “That it puts Mexico and Lucha Libre at the center is even more, but that it has as its protagonist Rey Mysterio, whom we have admired since we were children, is simply indescribable. We believe that fans will greatly appreciate this new series, the result of the work and passion of so many people.”

The press release notes that the series is set to debut on Cartoon Network Latin America in 2022, and will feature ten episodes. WWE was not mentioned at all in the press release, which would indicate that they have no involvement in the production.
