Paramount Cancels 'Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,' Sets Final Season Rollout

The decision follows a post‑merger shift to a curated slate of legacy brands.

Overview

  • Paramount ended the animated spinoff after two seasons, with the concluding season premiering on Paramount+ in December 2025 before a Nicktoons window in 2026.
  • Collider reports the move is part of a restructuring that consolidated Nickelodeon’s linear networks and animation into a new TV media division focused on proven franchises.
  • Nickelodeon’s Dora reboot has been deprioritized, with Season 4 completed but lacking a streaming date and the status of a fully produced Season 5 unclear.
  • Paramount is exploring third‑party licensing for the shelved series, echoing prior deals that placed titles like The Fairly OddParents and Rugrats on Netflix.
  • The TMNT brand remains active with a Mutant Mayhem sequel dated for September 17, 2027, and a live‑action, R‑rated Last Ronin adaptation in development with Walter Hamada producing.
