MEGAN THEE STALLION EXPANDS INTO ANIME WITH 'HOTTIES' ALONGSIDE CARL JONES

A Grammy-winning powerhouse is stepping beyond charts and choreography into illustrated battlegrounds shaped by ink and ambition. After years of blending cosplay with rap bravado, Megan Thee Stallion is now building something far bigger behind the scenes. And this latest evolution is not just fandom flexing, it is full-scale creation.

Megan Thee Stallion is officially expanding into anime with her original series Hotties, developed alongside acclaimed producer Carl Jones.

The project will stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video and marks her first major step into long-form animated storytelling as a creator, not just an admirer of the genre.

The collaboration pairs her bold Hot Girl persona with Jones, best known for producing The Boondocks and Black Dynamite. As of early 2026, the series is in active production. While no premiere date is confirmed, late 2026 or early 2027 remains the expected release window.

As production sharpens its animation pencils, the bigger question becomes what kind of hero rises from this universe.

Hotties to blend high-octane battles with emotional character growth

The plot is expected to follow a classic hero’s journey framework inspired by shonen storytelling. Megan Thee Stallion has emphasized her love for characters who start underestimated and train relentlessly to overcome towering adversaries.

The series will likely blend high-octane action, fashion-forward character design, and emotional growth, possibly set within a stylized Southern or futuristic backdrop reflecting her Houston roots.

Before starting this series, Stallion established herself as a pillar in the Western anime community: from cosplaying characters like Sailor Moon and Yoruichi Shihōin to releasing ‘Otaku Hot Girl,’ which sampled Jujutsu Kaisen. She also partnered with Crunchyroll and appeared at major anime events, reinforcing her credibility within the culture she now helps shape.
