Film alumna Sarah Nerboso '12 wrote nine episodes for the second season of the hit animated series Monster High on Nickelodeon. Season 2 of the kid's program, created in partnership with popular toy company Mattel, premiered on March 11, 2024.
The season premiere, "Rule School,” opens on Clawdeen, who finds that balancing school with her new role as Were-Ruler is way more challenging than she thought. As she faces her first big task as Were-Ruler, Clawdeen makes a decision that will shake up the were-world.
The 20-episode second season follows Clawdeen and the rest of the "boo crew" as they begin a new semester. The boo crew find themselves navigating a variety of monstrous situations, including a vacation at Scare-adise Resort that takes a mysterious turn, a mythological showdown during a music festival, a magic-powered competitive game night, and more.
According to Michelle Mendelovitz, Global Head of Mattel Television Studios, the stories of the show revolve around "friendship, acceptance, and of course, plenty of surprises.”
