On April 11, 2021, the shorts premiered on Disney Channel US & The DisneyNOW App.[5]
Description
When our heroes aren't on a mission, Cat Noir jumps at every opportunity to try and make Ladybug fall in love with him. But what he doesn't know is that she only has eyes for the handsome Adrien! Will he still manage to seduce Ladybug with his plans, each more unpromising and funny than the other?
The chibi series is canon to the main series.[6] Over 100 shorts are expected to be made. Current episodes focus only on Ladybug and Cat Noir, but future episode will feature the world of Miraculous as a whole and will not necessarily be about the Miraculous heroes themselves.
