Fingers cross it turns out good.

Fingers crossed they will use the same voice actors but if they don't, hope the new ones are good.

Why are they rebooting?

I was just about to post it. Rise of The Turtles will be the title. A 2D aninimated show picking up in the Fall of 2018. A reboot it states. Will it be a complete remake separate from 2012 CGI cartoon a soft reboot? That is the main question.

Just read this on TMNT official facebook page and came running to see what we knew about it.
What makes me most happy about this is it will mean more figures!!
A 'lighter feel' could also mean a little more variants creativity, as arcs can be shorter and more diverse, like turtles on the beach, christmas special etc

Ugh. Sounds like "Teen Titans Go" for TMNT.

Rat King is dead, Shredder is dead, Splinter is dead all for good this time. There is only so much one can do when key characters are killed off. They have gotten darker than expected and want a lighter tone. Instead of pulling a lighter shade all of a sudden it wanted to do it in a restart. Not to mention reboot gets a fresh start and like a comic reboot a temporary spike. The question is how much of the spike will stick. I am not used to the idea one show ends and another begins. No Next Mutation does not count.

Another thing of note is the title is the episode title of the first episode of the 2012 cartoon. A subtitle perhaps which could change by the season?

Well...time to dig the trenches and prepare.

Really hoping this isn't going to be Nickelodeon's answer to Teen Titans Go.

If I've understood well, its a reboot with the same turtles of 2012 right? I mean, will it be considered in the same universe?

I really like Andy Suriano's artwork. If his designs for this show are half as good as some of his other work, it will at least look great.

Which is a f**king awesome show.

Don't know how to feel about this, guess I'll wait and see before passing judgement on it.

Well that's one way for Splinter and Shredder to return. Just reboot the entire bloody thing as a 2D adventure. :roll:

Wow, that sounds pretty ghastly.

The plan is to have them "encounter absurd new mutants"? "Fulfill their destiny to be heroes"? What?

Blegh, whatever. It's for little tykes. Little tykes and Fred Wolf nostalgiacs. Like all of it, these days.

Very glad that Nick indeed has more plans and they really will in fact be doing a new show after this one. :D

I hope it's cute and fun, though a little disappointed with the "a younger and lighter feel" thing. As much as TMNT has struggled with the "kid's thing" stigma, and because the current series already makes the Turtles feel rather young, more-so than their counter parts in other versions, what's even younger going to be like... Half Shell? I had hoped a next series would be somewhat loosely a continuation of the current and age them up a little.

I'm sure it will be adorable, but disheartened that an 'older' series (not necessarily just or adults, but at least teens and older as target audience) will still have to wait for god knows how long...

Hey, that's my thing.

But yeah, I hope it's dope. Nothing wrong with a more comedy leaning show.

Of course I'll give it a go but my gut reaction is that it doesn't sound very good to me.

I just want volume 4 of the Mirage comics to be turned into a show for teenagers and adults.

Andre just posted a video talking about it, He got the press release.

If it was the same voice cast like Teen Titans/Teen Titans Go, I'm all on board! Here's hoping.

Pixel Dan new about it also he posted this

Yes. More bright and more kid-friendly, from what I hear. The current series has a lot of dark undertones and is pretty closely tied to what the Mirage books were doing, which is awesome! But I totally understand that they want something geared more towards kids at the same time. Some of the current episodes are way too dark for my kid to watch, imo.

I wonder what the new origin of Bebop and Rocksteady and Mechaturtle will be.

Sounds good to me. :tlove:

I'm calling shenanigans on the idea that the current Nick cartoon is reminiscent of the original Mirage books.

Except maybe having issues with pacing, and not really having a linear show bible. In which case, then that's a dead-to-rights comparison.

That said, I could be down for a Teen Titans Go!esque TMNT show.

I just got a reply from the Nickelodeon Twitter with this info.

a character designer for Samurai Jack is working on this new series.

Old news considering it was on the first post.

Guy worked on Samurai Jack, eh? Nice.

The 2-D thing is interesting, especially on the heels of the reboot of Ducktales.

Just saw Andre's tweet about this. Sounds interesting, glad the Nick show is getting 1 last season though. Wouldn't want it ending where it is now.

I like that it's gonna be 2D. Nick's 3D CGI is really good, but I've always preferred 2D.

I was thinking the same thing, and the Samurai Jack thing could be great for TMNT.

Damn, anyone think this sounds suspiciously similar to Teen Titans Go? Sounds like it's going to focus on all humor with little to no action and bad guys treated like parodies.

WTF!? So weird that they'd announce a new series before the current one even ends. I'm not liking the sound of this series either. Though hopefully it turns out better than it sounds. I love the idea of a new 2D series and don't mind it focusing on comedy but the whole mystic thing sounds like a giant gimmick. It's like having an entire series of Ninja Tribunal, Fast Forward, or the cyber stuff in BttS. I just hope there's substance to whole thing and not just nonsense from week to week.

a character designer for Samurai Jack is a co-exec producer for this new series, So it could probably have a Samurai Jack art style?

DON'T YOU GO GETTING MY HOPES UP!
DON'T YOU DO IT!


So...like the FW Cartoon then?

Idk it's up to the turtle gods


So he doesn't know yet.

I kinda hope he does. He's a perfect fit for Mikey like he is with Beast Boy.

I really hope they still have the same cast, for continuity sake.

Hopefully this new series will also bring in some of the classic characters that haven't showed up in the CGI series yet.

LOL, what? The Fred Wolf cartoon and Teen Titans GO are absolutely nothing alike.

I was all on board until I read about the lighter, younger feel and "more humor." As if to say that the 2012 show already didn't have humor or a younger feel to it.

I guess we'll see what happens, but I have a feeling they may be aiming for this all wrong.

I'm a little surprised this isn't called "TMNT GO!"

Also, the whole bit about discovering "mystic powers" reminds me of the so-called "Lost Season" of the 4Kids toon, which was probably my least favorite of the series with all the spirit dragons.
