One of the things that fans of Miraculous Ladybug often talk about is the watch order of the series.

TV Movie Specials
1. Miraculous World: New York
2. Miraculous World: Shanghai – Even though it was released in the middle of season 4, it falls after season 3 and before season 4 in terms of the timeline. The only reason why it was released during season 4 is due to the delays caused by COVID-19.
Season 4
Season 4 premiered right around a year and a half after the conclusion of season 3, and that is the longest gap between each season of Miraculous. The COVID-19 pandemic was a large part of the reason that caused the delay of season 4. This season began in May of 2021 and was concluded on March 12, 2022.
