‘Miraculous Ladybug’ Watch Order: Including Every Movie

Hey, ‘Miraculous Ladybug’ fans! If you’re ready to dive into this wild ride of superhero teens saving Paris, I’ve got a watch order that’s up to date as of March 25, 2025. Marinette and Adrien—aka Ladybug and Cat Noir—have been at it for years, balancing school, crushes, and battling akumatized villains. With Season 6 already rolling out, a movie in the books, and specials like ‘Miraculous World: London – At the Edge of Time’ out now, it’s time to sort through the chaos. So let’s set the record straight and give you a clear path to ‘Miraculous Ladybug‘ watch order.

This French gem, cooked up by Thomas Astruc with Zagtoon and Toei Animation, kicked off in 2015. It’s got heart, action, and a Paris that’s always in trouble. The episodes don’t always line up neatly with the timeline—sometimes you see Ladybug swinging around before her origin even hits—so I’ve pieced it together in a way that feels natural. Plus, with new stuff dropping, like Season 6’s flashy Unreal Engine upgrade, there’s plenty to unpack. Let’s get into it!

Editor’s Note: Updated in March, 2025, to include the continuity (chronological) watch order of the entire franchise.

How Many Episodes Does ‘Miraculous Ladybug’ Have?

‘Miraculous Ladybug’ has already wrapped up five full seasons, and Season 6 is airing now. Seasons 1 through 5 each pack 26 episodes, giving us 130 episodes total from those alone. Toss in the Season 6 episodes out so far—four as of now—and we’re at 134 episodes and counting.

Each one runs about 21 minutes, so if you’re up for a binge, you’re looking at a solid chunk of time to catch Marinette and Adrien in action. Trust me, settling in for all six seasons is a commitment, but Paris won’t save itself!

How Many Movies Does ‘Miraculous Ladybug’ Have?

So, ‘Miraculous Ladybug’ is sitting pretty with 130 episodes across its five completed seasons—26 episodes each—plus six more from Season 6 airing now. That’s 136 episodes total so far! But wait, there’s more—four TV specials have hit the screens too and one movie (that could also be counted as 5 movies in total).

First up, ‘Miraculous World: New York – United Heroez’ dropped on September 25, 2020, giving us a Big Apple adventure. Then came ‘Miraculous World: Shanghai – The Legend of Ladydragon’ on May 28, 2021, with Marinette chasing family secrets in China. The third, ‘Miraculous World: Paris – Tales of Shadybug and Claw Noir’, landed October 4, 2023, flipping the script with an alternate Paris. And don’t miss ‘Miraculous World: London – At the Edge of Time’, out since November 28, 2024, where Chronobug tackles a time thief. Oh, and there’s ‘Ladybug & Cat Noir: The Movie’ from July 2023 on Netflix—a standalone origin tale that’s separate from the series. Plenty to keep you hooked!

Where It All Begins

Start with Season 1’s origin tale. ‘Ladybug & Cat Noir (Origins – Part 1)’ and ‘Stoneheart (Origins – Part 2)’ drop you into Marinette Dupain-Cheng’s life—a sweet, clumsy teen who’s about to change everything. She meets Adrien Agreste, a lonely model with a ascended to the Miraculous realm, thanks to Master Fu handing them magical jewels called Miraculouses. With help from tiny kwami pals Tikki and Plagg, they become Ladybug and Cat Noir, facing Hawk Moth’s first akumatized baddie in a carnival showdown. It’s the spark that lights the whole series.

Now, roll into the rest of Season 1 (2015-2016). You’ve got 24 episodes left after the origins: ‘Stormy Weather’, ‘The Bubbler’, ‘Copycat’, ‘Timebreaker’, ‘Mr. Pigeon’, ‘The Evillustrator’, ‘Lady Wifi’, ‘The Pharaoh’, ‘Rogercop’, ‘Animan’, ‘Darkblade’, ‘Horrificator’, ‘Dark Cupid’, ‘Kung Food’, ‘Gamer’, ‘Pixelator’, ‘Guitar Villain’, ‘The Mime’, ‘Princess Fragrance’, ‘Simon Says’, ‘Volpina’, ‘The Puppeteer’, ‘Reflekta’, and ‘Antibug’. You’ll meet Alya, Marinette’s ride-or-die best friend, and Chloé, the school’s resident queen bee.

Seasons 2 and 3 Heat Up

Season 2 (2017-2018) brings 26 episodes, starting with ‘Santa Claws’—a Christmas special from 2016 that slots in here. Then it’s ‘The Collector’, ‘Despair Bear’, ‘Prime Queen’, ‘Befana’, ‘Riposte’, ‘Gigantitan’, ‘Glaciator’, ‘Sapotis’, ‘Gorizilla’, ‘Robostus’, ‘The Dark Owl’, ‘Frightningale’, ‘Troublemaker’, ‘Zombizou’, ‘Captain Hardrock’, ‘Syren’, ‘Reverser’, ‘Anansi’, ‘Sandboy’, ‘Style Queen (Queen’s Battle – Part 1)’, ‘Queen Wasp (Queen’s Battle – Part 2)’, ‘Malediktator’, ‘Frozer’, ‘Catalyst (Heroes’ Day – Part 1)’, and ‘Mayura (Heroes’ Day – Part 2)’. New heroes like Rena Rouge step up, and Hawk Moth’s plans get darker.

Next, catch ‘Miraculous World: Shanghai – The Legend of Ladydragon’. This 2021 special fits after Season 2. Marinette heads to Shanghai, chasing family ties and facing a new villain, with Adrien in tow. It’s a solid break from Paris with some cool new vibes.

Then, Season 3 (2018-2019): ‘Chameleon’, ‘Animaestro’, ‘Weredad’, ‘Bakerix’, ‘Backwarder’, ‘Reflekdoll’, ‘Oni-Chan’, ‘Silencer’, ‘Miraculer’, ‘Christmaster’, ‘Oblivio’, ‘Desperada’, ‘Startrain’, ‘Kwami Buster’, ‘Feast’, ‘Ikari Gozen’, ‘Gamer 2.0’, ‘Stormy Weather 2’, ‘Timetagger’, ‘Party Crasher’, ‘The Puppeteer 2’, ‘Cat Blanc’, ‘Félix’, ‘Ladybug’, ‘Heart Hunter (The Battle of the Miraculous – Part 1)’, and ‘Miracle Queen (The Battle of the Miraculous – Part 2)’. Buckle up—Gabriel, Adrien’s dad, gets unmasked as Hawk Moth!

After Season 3, Episode 6 (Weredad) slide in ‘Miraculous World: New York – United Heroez’. This 2020 special fits here timeline-wise. Ladybug and Cat Noir jet to New York, teaming up with American heroes for a fast-paced clash. It’s a fun shake-up with fresh faces.

Season 4

Season 4 (2021-2022) keeps it rolling with 26 episodes: ‘Truth’, ‘Lies’, ‘Gang of Secrets’, ‘Mr. Pigeon 72’, ‘Furious Fu’, ‘Queen Banana’, ‘Sole Crusher’, ‘Guiltrip’, ‘Optigami’, ‘Crocoduel’, ‘Hack-San’, ‘Sentibubbler’, ‘Rocketear’, ‘Wishmaker’, ‘Mega Leech’, ‘Simpleman’, ‘Glaciator 2’, ‘Kuro Neko’, ‘Ephemeral’, ‘Penalteam’, ‘Risk (Shadow Moth’s Final Attack – Part 1)’, and ‘Strikeback (Shadow Moth’s Final Attack – Part 2)’. The drama peaks as relationships twist and Hawk Moth, now Shadow Moth, pushes harder.

Season 5 and More Specials

Season 5 (2022-2023) closed out with 26 episodes, all ending in “ion”: ‘Evolution’, ‘Multiplication’, ‘Destruction’, ‘Jubilation’, ‘Determination’, ‘Illusion’, ‘Passion’, ‘Reunion’, ‘Elation’, ‘Transmission (The Kwamis’ Choice – Part 1)’, ‘Deflagration (The Kwamis’ Choice – Part 2)’, ‘Perfection’, ‘Migration’, ‘Derision’, ‘Intuition’, ‘Protection’, ‘Adoration’, ‘Emotion’, ‘Pretension’, ‘Revelation’, ‘Confrontation’, ‘Collusion’, ‘Revolution’, ‘Representation’, ‘Conformation (The Final Day – Part 1)’, and ‘Re-creation (The Final Day – Part 2)’. Toss in ‘Action’, a quick bonus episode. Monarch (Hawk Moth’s final form) goes all out, and it’s a game-changer.

Right after ‘Destruction’, watch ‘Miraculous World: Paris – Tales of Shadybug and Claw Noir’. Released in October 2023, it’s a wild alternate-universe trip where Ladybug and Cat Noir face evil doppelgängers. It’s a mind-bender that fits snugly here.

Then, hit ‘Miraculous World: London – At the Edge of Time’. Out since November 28, 2024, on Disney Channel, it’s fresh and ties into Season 5’s end. Marinette wakes up to find her earrings gone—someone’s made a wish with the Miraculouses. She teams up with Bunnyx as Chronobug to chase a time-hopping thief (hint: it’s Cerise) who knows her identity. They zip through London and beyond to save the future. It’s a tight, emotional bridge to Season 6.

Season 6 and the Movie

Season 6 started January 25, 2025, in the U.S. on Disney Channel and Disney XD, and it’s still dropping episodes as we speak. Expect 26 in total, with a slick new look thanks to Unreal Engine tech. Marinette and Adrien are tighter than ever, but a mysterious new villain’s stirring the pot. So far, we’ve got ‘Illustrhater’, ‘Sublimation’, ‘Daddycop’, and ‘Werepapas’.

Cap it off with ‘Ladybug & Cat Noir: The Movie’. Dropped on Netflix in July 2023, it’s a standalone retelling of their origin. Marinette crushes on Adrien, they snag their powers, and save Paris—simple, fun, and a bit off-canon. Perfect for a chill finale. That said, you could watch this movie anytime you want.

Will there be more ‘Miraculous Ladybug’ seasons and movies?

The fun’s not over! Season 7 is locked in for 2026, though no exact date yet. After Season 6 wraps, we’ll see where Marinette and Adrien land next. The show’s got legs—rumors even hint at a Season 8 down the line. For now, kick back with this order, and you’ll be set to roll with Ladybug and Cat Noir’s latest heroics!
