What do you think will happen after this show ends?

What do you think or what do you want to happen after this series ends?

It can't go on and on like Spongebob or even the OT. Since those weren't really story driven. Well the OT had a storyline but ya know its purpose was more on the adventures and action.

Nick really moves on to new cartoons after a successful run of a prior series. Except with Spongebob and the like but thats different. They never had multiple incarnations of any show. Even their classic updates, which were mostly game shows, were very short lived.

Even though I like the show this was one of the reasons I did not like them acquiring the franchise. After this ends it could be a really long time before they reuse it for another go-around as in "hey lets bring back the turtles".

Its not like they'd license them out to someone else.

[Powder]

I think they will keep them alive & healthy in some way, absolutely. There will likely still be comics being made, perhaps movie sequels if not a reboot, blah blah blah. I imagine they'd give it a fair break TV-wise but it would return with a new toon in due time. TMNT has pretty much cemented itself in pop culture as something that is always around, like Batman & whatnot.

[Shark_Blade]

I think they'll go the path of Teen Titans Go! (reboot/extension of Teen Titans)

Same characters and traits but reimagined/different storyline.

What question is this? ! When this shows end the next one will start! That what going to happen. When the 87 show ended a few years later the 2003 show begun. Then the 2003 show ended and this new one started. Evry tune a TNBT shiw ends a new one begins! So what was the point of this question??

Its different now because they (Nick) can choose whatever they wanna do after this.

Sure there'll probably be more movies, sequels or separate films. The comic is a given but as far as TV its a different situation now.

Like I said they never had multiple incarnations of their shows before. Just updates that didnt last. Im sure they'll make another eventually since it'd be a waste to just make one, but how long after and to what extent?

[BubblyShell22]

I don't know what'll happen, and I don't really care right now. I'm just enjoying the ride right now and will worry about that when the time comes. But the comics can still continue without the show, so there's still that.

[ZariusTwo]

They'll be a "wait and see" approach with the movie I imagine. If it does well, they'll make a show inspired partially by it ala Transformers Prime.

[BabyTurtles]

hopefully It'll be like Scooby Doo and never die *_* only never ending reboots!

[shredder orokusaki]

That exactly what will happen. Never ending rebbots. Jyust like Scooby doo and Batman. How do you think scooby doo and batman cartoons managed to stay alive after so many years? It is because they are getting rebbots all the time!!

[JTH]

People will complain why the hiatus is so long...?

THIS STATEMENT IS 100% SARCASM!!!

[Jephael]

I'm pretty sure once the show ends all the fans who grew up with this series will be right where the 4Kids fans were back in 2009. It's like the old shampoo adage: lather, rinse, repeat!

[kolaida]

^Yup! I'm with Bubbly, here! 100%!!

[Wildcat]

Well as far as reboots go I'd like to see a new story with all new characters and villains. Preferably with the turtles older than teenagers.

We've had 3 series now based on the usual Shredder and Utrom lore.

[CyberCubed]

The show will probably last 7 or 8 years.

Then they'll let it rest. The IDW comic might still be going by then for all we know.

[Icebot]

Maybe a 4th cartoon, or maybe a continuation of the old cartoon if ratings get high when the old toon turtles meet the 2012 turtles.

Just a thought.

[MST3KFan]

So long as new movie elements stay out of the present cartoon I'm okay with things right now for as long as they last.

I hated how both the 1980s and 2003 TMNT series both in their final seasons felt they had to add nods to the current movies at the times they were on TV like changing the designs of characters or the plots. It felt odd to change so much.

If you want to do a movie based cartoon, do a new one. Transformers for the most part did that. There were slight nods in the Transformers Animated series, but it wasn't until Transformers Prime they went full movie homage in design and stuff to the live-action movies.

You know it! Prepare for TMNT Prime!

A sequel to old cartoon will never happen. They will make a 4th cartoon that will be totaly different than the current cartoon just like as the 2003 cartoon had nothing to do with the 1987 cartoon. That how they do it.

[kelligrafie]

What do you think or what do you want to happen after this series ends?
Rehab.

It might go away for a few years but it'll be back. It's survived 30 years, continually evolving and changing. But it always finds its way back to the main source. The greats always do.

The film's going to reawaken the series in a way different to the cartoon because it's hitting a completely different age group. More adults are going to become re-aware of TMNT.

So that'll be interesting to see how it rebounds onto the TV series and comic books etc.

[CyberCubed]

I think it should die off for a decade after the Nick show ends.

By that point we'll have 3 long lasting cartoons, three comic series and 5 movies.

[NinjaPug]

It depends on when it ends. Ciro has said that he wants 5 years to tell his story. That doesn't mean he won't do more than that. Nick could stretch this incarnation into a 10 year run (not necessarily 10 seasons of 26 episodes) pretty easily.

A lot will also depend on ratings and toy sales going forward. If things slow down Nick may want to change things up. Depending on the popularity of the upcoming Bay-verse they could alter the show to fit in more with that universe.

I think it'd be cool if they did a series that followed the IDW series after this one ends but I don't think that's very likely.

I would like to see animated movies of Mirage or IDW stories but it is unlikely as you say.

The IDW comic would make a great cartoon though. It might feel too similar to the 4kids cartoon in tone but it uses classic 80's characters to make it stand out.

Making a cartoon based on IDW after the current cartton ends is something that can happen if nick wants it to happen. But i believe that they will prefer to make a different cartton than a one who will be based on idw or mirrage comics. Most episodes of season 1 season 2 and season 4 of the 2003 cartoons were based on mirrage stories. If they dont want to make a cartoon based on idw stories they can adapt some of the idw stories in the next cartoon.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

We get a new animated series, and then it starts all over again.

[Kanon]

I think so too.
Just a different design (maybe more detailed), some stories they didn`t used in this version and a lot of Pizza! :D

[T-U-R-T-L-E POWA!]

I will cry.

[Shark_Blade]

I will cry.
Same. :tcry:

I hope Donnie gets with April in the end.

[Casey]

I have no idea, but I hope it's just the five that Ciro needs. I love the show, but it's already feeling like it needs to wind down. Finishing this season and one more would be plenty for me.

[snake]

Well this part of the forum wouldn't get as much traffic. But I'm sure the tmnt would live on in some way. Comics, video games, sequels to the movies, ect.

Then the next show hits.

[CyberCubed]

Maybe not, because Nick owns the franchise now. I doubt they would cancel the show just to start a new series 2 years later or something.

The reason we have 3 cartoons is they were all made by different companies with Mirage partnering with said companies. Unless Nick sells the TMNT license after they're done with it...I don't see them starting another new cartoon after their own show ends.
