SAMG Entertainment to Premiere New Series "Wish Cat Magic Card" on SBS on the 8th

The popular animated series "Wish Cat," which aired on SBS and Tooniverse in 2024, is set to return with a brand-new season. On March 5, SAMG Entertainment (CEO Kim Suhoon, hereafter referred to as SAMG Entertainment), a global IP content company, announced that the new series "Wish Cat Magic Card" will premiere on SBS at 7:25 a.m. on March 8.

"Wish Cat Magic Card" is a 3D TV animation series consisting of 26 episodes, each 11 minutes long. It is a sequel that expands the universe established in the previous "Wish Cat" series. While the original series focused on the growth and friendship of the protagonist Anna and the cat Ainang, who fell from the peaceful human world of Nyangtababara, the new season evolves into a fantasy magical girl action drama. This time, Anna transforms into a hero to confront forces threatening the human world.

This season introduces a new character, Jet, a black cat who rebels against the Wish Cat Kingdom's principle that "even the smallest wishes must be cherished." Jet grants people's wishes in a chaotic way, turning precious friends and neighbors dark. In response, Anna and the Wish Cats use the "Magic Card Phone" and their unique abilities to solve incidents. Each Wish Cat now has its own magical power—such as jumping, speed, and time manipulation—offering viewers even more variety. The production team explained that, despite the comedic narrative, the dynamic and suspenseful action and more sophisticated visuals will heighten viewer immersion.

In particular, this new season drew attention before its broadcast thanks to its collaboration with NCT WISH, a group under SM Entertainment. In January, SAMG Entertainment pre-released cat characters inspired by the NCT WISH members and the Season 2 OST "Wishing Star." Fans both in Korea and abroad are excited to see whether the collaboration characters will actually appear in episodes.

A representative from SAMG Entertainment said, "In this series, magic is not just about making wishes come true, but about realizing personal growth through that journey," and added, "With the magical girl universe and enhanced action elements, we aim to deliver a high-quality work that fans can immerse themselves in and enjoy."
