Rey Mysterio animated series heads to YouTube worldwide
Rey Mysterio vs The Darkness will debut globally on YouTube on July 26 after a first U.S. screening at Comic-Con on July 25. The release ends the show’s regional limits and puts the lucha libre star’s animated universe in front of fans worldwide.
Why it matters: - Rey Mysterio vs The Darkness is moving from a Latin America-only release to a global audience. - The shift gives the creators direct reach to fans without a paywall or geographic restrictions. - The release also signals a rare case where a property’s control returned to its creators, enabling a worldwide rollout.
What happened: - Rey Mysterio and Calavera Hermanos created the animated series over a decade ago. - The show will have its first public U.S. screening at Comic-Con on July 25. - Episode 1, titled "Enygma," will publish on the series’ official YouTube channel on Sunday, July 26. - The full launch will be available worldwide. - The series previously aired only in Mexico and Latin America through Cartoon Network Latin America.
The details: - The production includes 10 episodes and 5 shorts. - The series reached the top 10 on Cartoon Network LATAM. - The animated universe is described as an epic Mexicanime adventure. - Rey Mysterio is the executive producer. - Calavera Hermanos developed the project with Mysterio in Mexico City. - The official channels listed with the release include the series’ YouTube channel, Instagram, TikTok, Bluesky and LinkedIn.
Between the lines: - The global YouTube release suggests the creators are prioritizing reach over exclusivity. - Rey Mysterio’s comments frame the launch as a promise kept to fans who never got access to the original run. - Mestizo Enmascarado said Cartoon Network LATAM was a strong partner and left room for future collaboration. - The move reflects a broader benefit of creator control: the ability to repurpose existing content for new audiences.
What's next: - Fans can watch episode 1 for free on YouTube starting July 26. - The Comic-Con screening should serve as the first public look for U.S. audiences. - The creators signaled that more of the show and possibly new opportunities could follow. - Rey Mysterio said the release is only the beginning of the adventure.
