Def DON'T watch it in the netflix order lmao. That's a mess and the release order sometimes can get just as messy

It's literally impossible to watch it in chronological order because they're not written that way. Origins technically is the first thing that happens chronologically but is meant to be the season 1 finale. And there is a scene is a late season 3 episode that takes place at the same time as an early season 2 episode. So trying to watching the show chronologically will just fry your brain

Your best off with either the production code order or that link ladyburger gave you

well, here is the correct order, at least according to Miraculous Wiki

P.S. as I see, this is seconded by other links given in this thread

I watched the show in Netflix order and it worked out perfectly fine. It's clear that the order I was watching the show in wasn't perfect but as long as you understand that it's easy to forgive the show and just enjoy it on it's own terms (the same way you would for any of the other contrivances in the show)

Use the wiki the production number is the intended viewing order

I've found this to be super helpful! It's a list of all the seasons and episodes and why they should be watched in a specific order 🙏

I wrote this for some other user last year, but I believe it answers your questions.

Season 1 doesn't have a chronological order, except that Volpina is the season finale and Origins takes place first, albeit it's intended to be watched at the end.
For the remaining seasons, just follow the production order, which you can find on the fan wiki or the official website. On Disney+, only Season 4 is out of order.
Season 5 has a 27th educational episode about plastic pollution called Action which isn't part of the season's storyline, but chronologically takes place between episodes 21 and 22. It's on D+ in some territories, but is legally available for free on YouTube.

Alongside the seasons, there are four Miraculous World TV movies:

1. New York - written after S4, released after S3, chronologically happens between S3 and 4
2. Shanghai - written after S4, released after S3, chronologically happens at some point during S3
3. Paris - written after S5, released after S5, chronologically happens at a specific point during S5
4. London - written after S5, released after S5, happens at a specific point between S5 and 6

You can technically watch them when they happen chronologically, but since they were written and released after they're meant to take place, they spoil things which are first revealed in the show later. It's hard to explain without examples.

Lastly, the cinematic film with the completely different art style is an AU with its own self-contained story. One can even watch it before Season 1, but I'd suggest maybe finishing Season 3, as there's this part of the story which you might've not realised yet, and is spoilt in the film. I'd suggest not waiting to finish the show, as it doesn't have any of the storylines/new characters of the later seasons, so you can't compare them or something.

YouTube and watchmiraculousladybug website

Shanghai takes place during Season 3.

The Paris Special comes after season four where Hawk Moth steals all of the Miraculous. Then the London special is after season five.

If New York took place after S3, wouldn't Marinette >!have to guard the Miracle Box!<?

The specials are designed to just be watched. They aren't designed to be "Okay I've watched episodes 1-5 now I go watch the london special"

Say what you want, for me, Shanghai takes place during season 4. It was just released slightly too early and Astruc didn't want to spoil that the beggining of season 4 brings back the status quo in the Marinette/Adrien relationship. That explains the presence of the new miracle box in the opening, and of the action figures of the new american superhero that couldn't exist before the New York special (even if it was "officially" an animation mistake).
It also explains why we see the chinese gangster at the end of the New York special. He couldn't have been in New York if he was arrested earlier in the year in Shanghai.

And it's certainly not the first or the last time Marinette leaves Paris and the miracle box.

Now, that's just my opinion. Place it whenever you wish. The official statement is that it happens sometimes before the end of season 3. I just have my own head canon.

If you're looking at the Wikipedia then Astruc has said production order is canon order

The wiki has production codes listed

Generally you can watch the episodes in any order as long as you watch the seasons in order and watch the two or three-part season finales at the end of the season.

If I had to catch up I’d go to the miraculous wikia, find the French order of airing, and go through the episodes in that order

I prefer the show over the movie, as it fleshes out other people other than Mari and Adrien more than the movie does (since it has 5+ seasons to do so plus specials).

I will admit to preferring (from a ‘human’ standpoint) the Movie Gabriel, as he’s more of a ‘father’ figure in terms of how they treat Adrien… but saying too much more would be spoilers if you’ve not seen both

I vastly prefer the show over the movie.

The movie is just an adaptation of the show with less screentime for the characters, the lore and rules not well explained and a really rushed ending.

So I really recommend the show. It's not perfect. With season 1 being more about world building than anything for exemple but the creativity of the episodes and season 2 with the plot who start to peak up really made for a really fun watch I you don't take the universe to seriously.

The movie is better but you can only appreciate it when you have suffered through the show. Then at the peak of your frustration you watch the movie and its gods gift

The movie has NO RELATION to the events in the show, please keep this in mind. It isn't a condensed version of the show at large, it's a retelling of Season 1's Origins episodes, just as Jeremy Zag's own version.

Imo, the movie far clears the Origins of the show. No, I don't care that it's a musical, I understand the umbrella scene is ICONIC but the Movie had unparalleled production value.

While yes... the show is something to get truly invested in, the Movie is a magical experience and the best piece of Miraculous media we've been graced with. That's personally how I see it.

I'd say start with the show first up to Season 5, watch the movie, then continue the show with Season 6. It'll give you a heightened appreciation for the movie after you finish Season 5

Just go to the miraculous timeline and you'll see.

It’s the production order. You can use the wiki to see the episode list and it will have the production order on the side.

A while back I did a lot of digging to try to work out a chronological order for things. Here's what I came up with at the time, note that all of Season 3 had not aired at that point:

https://www.reddit.com/r/miraculousladybug/comments/d6u1t7/wip_a_possible_timeline_for_the_episodes_of/

&#x200B;

Here's the handy graphic that I made at the time:

https://preview.redd.it/2s9zi0piqwn31.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0c4a81e5d5000cc48e51f6e149326a45b19a64f

Note that these are NOT in production code order, and I cite various sources for a few of my determinations, based on various observatons and suggestions made by others.

&#x200B;

HOWEVER, IMHO there are some significant continuity issues with the tail end of Season 3, and that's when I threw in the towel. Some things simply could not be easily resolved.

So for Seasons 3 and 4, production code order may be as good as any, just be ready for some 'glitches' in the continuity.

I haven't updated my 'Production Code order' graphic for Season 4 as of yet, I will at some point. Said handy graphic for Seasons 1-3 is here:

https://preview.redd.it/0xz3xlwogvy31.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8214d3cfcbdb3397eb48b8631df5868aef55542a

Season 4 does seem to flow well enough in Production Code order, although there may be some glitches in the continuity. As the episodes are being released out of order again, my suggestion is to just enjoy them as they come out, and maybe worry about continuity at some point down the road once the entire Season 4 has aired if you want to binge watch the whole season again. That way you won't have to worry about missing out on various discussions on this Reddit as episodes come out.

&#x200B;

That's my two cents anyways...

;)

I love watching chronological as well (that's why I'm pissed at netflix). So I guess I'd watch it by production order, because the writers intended for us to see the Origins a little later...

Well, you're rewatching the show. So you should already know which order makes the most sense, shouldn't you?

Definitely chronological if possible, production order at the very least. There are actually quite a bit long term background stuff that emerges if you watch in order especially season 3 and 4

Why wouldn’t it be?

i think it is yeah

The order is correct, except that the last episode is actually a special episode about plastic pollution from Season 5. It takes place during Season 5, and was released after it, but was added to Netflix alongside Season 4.

Im tired, But Here’s what Disney+ says if you wanna compare

https://preview.redd.it/d3er85bbdf0f1.jpeg?width=675&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc04f7da3542d7d38a8fe82a14465a34e66a95f3

How do I watch?

UPDATE!!!:

From what I can tell, what’s labeled as “Season 4” on Netflix is actually season 4, at least the episodes match up on the WIKI page. The episodes are not in order compared to the WIKI publishing dates for each episode. 

This is the chronological order FOR ME on my NETFLIX account. And because I don’t have episode names, I’ve included those with the lineup in case I’ve mistaken anything.

EP. 6: Furious Fu EP. 1: Truth EP. 2: Lies EP. 3: Gang of Secrets EP. 11: Guiltrip EP. 4: Mr. Pigeon 72 EP. 7: Sole Crusher EP. 8: Queen Banana EP. 13: Optigami EP. 14: Sentibubbler EP. 17: Rocketear EP. 10: Mega Leech EP. 12: Crocoduel EP. 18: Wishmaker EP. 16: Hack-san EP. 19: Simpleman EP. 21: Dearest Family EP. 15: Glaciator 2 EP. 22: Ephemeral EP. 9: Gabriel Agreste EP. 23: Kuro Neko EP. 5: Psycomedian EP. 20: Qilin EP. 24: Penalteam EP. 25: Risk EP. 26: Strikeback

Episode 27’s title name is “Action” and seems to correlate with episode 131 of the series on the WIKI? But season 4 stops at episode 104 (Strikeback).  I’m gonna assume it’s bc Netflix was supposed to put a new season out and screwed up so only the last episode made it? Idk 

Hopefully anyone watching on Netflix finds this helpful and if anyone knows where I can watch season 5 in English Dub that’d be great to know. Thank you everyone! 

theres a video by haze clarke on youtube of the miraculous timeline up until season 5 finale (and reverse special). Some dates were incorrect and are mentioned in the pinned comment

you can find the video here

Season 1 doesn't follow strict rules, except for some things:

• The Origins two-parter serves as the first two episodes.
• Lady Wifi and Stormy Weather go before The Evillustrator and Animan, but if you watch it, nothing horrible will happen.
• The Puppeteer goes after Lady Wifi, The Evillustrator, and Rogercop.
• First, watch "Pixelator", and only then can you watch Guitar Villain, Antibug, and Kung Food
• Animan goes before Reflekta
• Volpina is the last episode of the season.
• Gamer goes after Darkblade

The movie isn’t canon

Try IMDb, there you have a list of all episodes, now I don't remember if they are all in order (haven't watched this show from ep. 1 to 131 in a long time)

According to Disney+ The Evillustrator is episode 7, but on wiki it’s #2.
