It will have 26 episodes.

I think that's why some of the episodes were released early so, Nick could Green Lit season 2.

That doesn't make one iota of sense. Nickelodeon released their own show early so... they could greenlight their own show earlier for season 2? Huh?

I guess Nickelodeon wanted to see how well the 1st episodes did with the fans, ratings, online video views ect.

It was actually announced at the Television Critics Association today. So would they have announced it if Nickelodeon didn't release the episodes early.

[TurtleWA]

Awesome for everyone involved to have jibs! :tsmile:

What are the odds though that they already had a number of episodes produced ahead of time and just split them into two seasons?

It just makes be believe more that ratings are not the driving force for the life of a show nowadays.

Yes amazing ratings you will get 10 seasons. But I’m thinking an average show gets 4/5 seasons standard.

Doesn’t it send a bad message to not give a show at least 4 seasons?

If you have a ton of one season shows and a bunch of canceled programs it looks like you have bad decision making skills when it comes to creative hiring choices.

[Leofan26]

So, I guess the premiere for the first episode had good ratings in order for this to happen right away? I just Leo is the leader in the season final with him being the official leader in season two :)

[biganimefan]

Already?? :o

Wow, ok then...

[Autbot_Benz]

Fix Splinter and stop making him a Lazy asshole and you will make me happy.

[IndigoErth]

Can't say I'm surprised, it would be hard to believe Nick would not do at least two, so it doesn't really mean all that much imo, but does seem a little ambitious and premature to be announcing it already.


Kind of like the equivalent of if a 3rd film had gotten green lit in 2016, but only after we saw a handful of trailers for that second movie. :trazz:

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

The original Nickelodeon series was renewed for a second season already on Tuesday 2 October 2012, just some days after "Rise of the Turtles"

[RaphaelinSTL]

I honestly feel like these are PR moves. Nickelodeon probably knows full well they want to test the waters with two seasons out the gate, so they release the first episode and to drive up potential good will to the new series ... they announce "OH WOW, IT'S BEEN GREEN LIT FOR SEASON TWO", even though it was all part of the plan from the beginning.

We'll see how this show REALLY does in the next two years.

That was quick, are we sure they didn't order a 52 episode season and then split it up into two? Because that would make a lot more sense.

Anyway, each episode is divided into 2 stories, meaning that they have around 104 stories to tell within 2 seasons. That seems kind of nuts.

[CyberCubed]

LOL @ people who thought the show would get canceled quick.

It's most likely planned to have a 5 year run like the 2012 series did. Although given it has 11 minute eps, it's going to wind up having double the amount of eps of the Nick show if it goes on 5 years.

[Papenbrook]

That's good! :)

I hope we get to see Lemonardo.

[FredWolfLeonardo]

This is great news. :)

[Shark_Blade]

Congrats ROTTMNT! :tlove:

You’re doing amazing sweetie.

This doesn't mean much, shows take like a year to make so that's why they're renewed when the season starts to have more episodes not long after the season finishes. Obviously we need to wait until the show properly airs and toys come out to see if the show is a success or bombs. It's the third season that people should be worried about.

[matteso586]

I bet it's gonna be under a different title. You know, like Tangled: The Series, season 5 of TMNT 2012, that last two seasons of TMNT 2003, and Pokemon.

Why would they change the title so early on in Season 2? Makes no sense when the Rise title gives it brand recognition and separates it from 2012.

This is significant. Other shows like Thundercats 2011 only got 1 Season and never renewed, terminated altogether.

Nick must be very confident hence they ordered Season 2 very early. Bravo.

That was back in 2011, animation has changed a lot since then and many shows are renewed early, happened the same with TMNT 2012 IIRC. Hell the 26 episode order of Thundercats 2011 was also relatively new at the time, up until the mid/late 00's most shows would only get 13 episode seasons but the trend started to be 26 later on and shows were no longer cancelled after 52/65 episodes.

I'm not saying Season 2 of Rise was guaranteed but if they had any fate or invested any significant money at all on the project they would've been committed to a season 2. That's why I've always mentioned this show would get 1 or 2 seasons since I found S2 likely in this project. I hope the show gets more seasons, but until we see what the actual audience of the show is and how merchandise is selling we won't know.

[shredder orokusaki]

For it to last for 3+ seasons i with Hun Rocksteady Bebop Krang e.t.c we must be the main villians and appear on most if not all episodes. If it continues the way it is now with jut some mutants fightingt the turtles and not me foot ninjas Stockman Hun Tiger Claw e.t.c it will not last so long.

[matteso586]

It makes sense if season 2 would be called Dawn of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

[Candy Kappa]

hopefully there won't be anything titled Dawn of the TMNT cause it'd probably wake up those guys again with that Dawn comic/movie

[Spike Spiegel]

The series has grown on me. It's not a traditional take on the characters, but it's far superior to something like TNM. I like the characters' personalities/voices, and the animation is more fluid than you would think when looking at the designs.

It's different, yet familiar. With the tweaked cast/setting and its use of high contrast blacks/shadows, it kind of reminds me of Spider-Man Unlimited.

The only part about it I really dislike is the theme song. Something about it seems stale and derivative.

[Aaronardo]

Guys, Nickelodeon does this with every one of their new shows. Loud House, Harvey Beaks, even Pig Goat Banana Cricket. It’s part of their SpongeBob Standard: a show automatically gets two seasons to get as popular as the Sponge. It’s stupid, yes, but that’s the policy.

This show could just as easily go for its first season on Nickelodeon and then have its second season dumped on Nicktoons.

The real test will be whether or not it’s renewed for season 3.

[CyberCubed]

It's probably planned to have a 5 year run. They had the same plan for the 2012 series before they even knew it would have a hit.

^ This.

We probably won't know how well the show is really doing until about late 2019 / early 2020. I'm wondering how the toys are going to be selling for this thing.

[Krutch]

Not that I was hoping this show got canned after the first season or anything, but this being on the air at the same time they're rebooting the film franchise kind of limits what they'll do in the movie. I can't think of any examples where a kiddy show gets a mature audience movie made while the bright and shiny kid show is still on the air.

I mean, I guess you could argue the first Turtles movie did that, but that wasn't exactly a fair representation of the Mirage tone, either.

Hate to say it, but I'm suspecting it won't take long for it to be primarily 'dumped' on Nicktoons the way 2012 was. Getting a premier on the main channel, then all repeats are Nicktoons only. Or, if it's unlucky, losing the main channel premier all together.

Already with this first ep that was on tv, it repeated just once, the next morning, on regular Nick, then a ton of other listed repeats for it were almost all on Nicktoons; in addition to being on Nick2 once or twice.

Brand new show that needs and wants to get the hype up, and it showed on the reg Nick channel just twice. I mean, what? Okay, sure, it's not that big of a deal for people who have all those Nick channels, but not everyone does and lets face it... getting thrown on one of their other channels is sorta-kinda second class in a way. (And no, Cubed, not everyone can watch it via Nick.com since they feel the need to lock them for some reason. And some people prefer to watch tv airings anyhow.)

I was wondering about that earlier ... but my only initial thought of something like that happening is Batman: Brave and the Bold which debuted in the fall of 2008 during the height of the Nolan Batman popularity.

I like the show and stuff, but wasn´t to early for Nick to bring us a new show after the recent ending of the 2K12 series?

They likely want the TMNT brand to continue rather than spend years with it dormant.

[Shark_Blade]

I’m glad they don’t put tmnt on hiatus/limbo. I need my constant tmnt fix, and they’re feeding us well. Thank God. :tlove:

It's too early to say "how the show is doing" A lot of shows do this simply for PR reasons.

Say folks who were saying "Screw this show, I hate change, I'm not watching this crap, I hope it gets cancelled etc..." Read an article saying "Oh wow look, it already got green lit for a second season after only just premiering a few weeks ago? Well... maybe it actually is good and I should at least try to watch it." Hence they get more viewers merely by publicizing that they are green lit for season 2. I guarantee they were already planning to do at least 2-5 seasons ANYWAY. It's all about bringing in more viewers.... aka pretty sneaky sis...

Yep. It's like how it's a norm to announce a show a hit right after it's first episode. They already intended on a second season no matter what.
