M3GAN, the amazing artificial intelligence that turned wild, is returning! This time, it’s coming back with an exciting new chapter in its story. M3GAN was initially created to be a cutting-edge companion robot. Then it was overcome by evil and went on a killing spree, which in the end caused its own downfall. As for Gemma, M3GAN’s creator and a leading author, she has become a strong proponent for government regulation of artificial intelligence. Now, she’s bringing the AI back to life with major improvements.
Gemma’s journey has not been easy. Since M3GAN went on her murderous spree, she has become an important figure in the current push and pull over the future of A.I. regulation. At the same time, her niece Cady, now 14, is exploring a rocky and painful path through the stormy changes of early adolescence. As Cady starts to reject her careful, overprotective regimen, conflict builds between her and Gemma.
The stakes have never been higher. One such case – a powerful defense contractor has stolen and misappropriated M3GAN’s underlying technology. Powered by the same M3GAN technology, this faceless adversary has developed a ruthless military-grade weapon, Amelia, who is built to be the ultimate infiltration spy. The consequences of this appropriation are grave, since Amelia represents a toxic blend of intellect and combat proficiency.
As part of an effort to combat this emerging menace, Gemma is about to reawaken M3GAN. The renovated model increases speed, strength, and verticality. Beyond these improvements, it is now equipped to defend Cady and maybe even keep the world safe from dangers on the horizon.

With M3GAN’s resurrection so too comes the chance for it to realize what it got so right—but wrong the first time around. The power play and relationship dynamics between Gemma and Cady will be equally central and integral to this narrative. As they face their obstacles in unison, the motifs of learning and maturation will be bipartite with each other.
Cady is a work in progress, as she’s sharpening her moral compass and, quite literally, fighting for her independence. The fate of M3GAN’s return may just be the key in her journey. The interplay between human emotions and advanced technology raises questions about the nature of companionship and the consequences of unchecked A.I. development.
