Jem And The Holograms Revival: Amazon MGM Studios to Bring Back the Iconic 1980s Series in Live-Action
Exciting news for fans of the 1980s animated series "Jem And The Holograms" as it is set to make a comeback in an elevated live-action version. Amazon MGM Studios is developing the project, with Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan's Kilter Films producing. Hasbro Entertainment is behind the revival, which was put up for sale in late 2025. Amazon emerged as the likely buyer, and after months of negotiations, the deal was finalized.
The live-action series will be executive produced by Lisa Joy, Jonathan Nolan, Athena Wickham from Kilter Films, and Gabriel Marano from Hasbro Entertainment. The original animated series, created by Christy Marx, premiered in 1985, riding the wave of music videos popularized by MTV. The show followed Jerrica Benton, a record company owner who transforms into Jem, the lead singer of Jem and The Holograms. Each episode featured music videos and original songs, including the iconic theme "Truly Outrageous."
This revival marks the return of the beloved characters and music of "Jem And The Holograms" to a new generation of viewers. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project!
