New show will be announced this spring?

[AlZarkovski]

From Toynewsi:

Just posted are the Playmates Toys Showroom Images From Toy Fair 2020.

There are no new TMNT figures shown. Nickelodeon expected to announce the next incarnation of TMMT this spring and Playmates will be doing toys for it. No pics of Godzilla Vs Kong aloud either.

Hopefully, this adaptation will be faithful to the 1987 original.

[IndigoErth]

Seems a bit fast, esp with nothing yet officially stated regarding 'Rise,' so I'll believe it when I see it.

edit: Though even if 'Rise' was sticking around, I suppose there would be nothing wrong with planning an additional series... on, say, CBS or Netflix.

[TommyT]

Not true. Nick has no plans for a new TMNT show at this time, or at all.

I know Star Trek used to have two series airing at the same time, but I don't think TMNT is that big of a franchise.

[Andrew NDB]

Hopefully not.

[newfan]

I'm not going to get caught up in new show news etc unless it comes from Nick/Viacom or in the instance of a speculated Netflix show, from them.

[Autbot_Benz]

At least this news adds more fuel to the fire Rise was a damn failure for Nick/Viacom/the TMNT Brand.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

unless it comes from Nick/Viacom

TMNT is still a Nickelodeon-owned product, it probably will.

[CyberCubed]

I doubt this is true, they didn't even finish airing all of Rise' second season on TV yet. There won't be a new cartoon so soon.

[mikey0]

Hopefully not.

Should it be another Rise or 2k12?

[Sumac]

Quite unexpected if true.

I personally don't see any advantage in changing series every 5 years, but that's just me.

[neatoman]

Hopefully, this adaptation will be faithful to the 1987 original.

They sort of tried that and...

Anyway, I think it's probably for the best if the next one just ignores the Fred Wolf show and tries to just be a decent show in it's own right.

What was that? The Thundercats Roar of the TMNT universe?

[IndigoErth]

Yes, and having existed among those "summer shorts" they did lets hope that qualifies it as having "been done already" so no series will ever do it. lol


I mean... it's kind of funny as just a stupid one time online thing, but dear god please don't ever let an actual series turn out like that.

[Vicky82]

If true, it could be that live action series that was rumoured last year.

I doubt this is true, they didn't even finish airing all of Rise' second season on TV yet. There won't be a new cartoon so soon.

Didn't they announce Rise before season 5 TMNT 2012 show.

[IndigoErth]

Yeah, though 2012 was already long planned to close after 5 seasons, so they already had a target end for it and a while to think over what would be next. If something really is announced soon while we don't even know what's going on with 'Rise' and season 2, that it surprisingly abrupt.

[sdp]

I doubt ToyNewsInc would be the only ones with this info, I'm sure Pixeldan and others would be all over asking questions regarding the future of TMNT, since we got nothing we've got to wait until SDCC to see if we see anything.

[oldmanwinters]

My guess is that something about the official statement "new incarnation" might have been misleading, as the previous official statement we saw from a Playmates rep said their toyline would focus on "Classic TMNT":
http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?p=1826296#post1826296

So maybe that is what was meant by "new incarnation."

Then again, as a big fan of the 1987 show and its style, I'd be happy to see a new project along those lines. It certainly seems to be where the money for the franchise is right now.

[Voltron]

It's not unprecedented, though. The Batman aired while JLU was still on. The span between Spectacular Spider-Man and whatever series took its place was pretty fast, too.

I'd like to see a new cartoon, either way. The 2013 series was fantastic. I could go for something like that again.

It was announced in March 2017, right before season the beginning of 5

[bgb1018]

If they are really going to make a new series, especially this soon after RISE, it needs to be in the realm of 2K3 or 2012 if its animated. And preferably, have it follow the IDW comics story. That would make for an incredible show I think.

And if its not going to be like that, then hopefully it's the rumored Netflix adaptation that's darker and grittier based off the original Mirage run or even a true continuation of the original 1990 movie (and that pains me cause I love SOTO).

[turtle1237]

So is the era of Rise over?

That didn't last long.

They will make a show about toddlers Turtles.
To keep up with demographics and their understanding of stories, of course. 8)

They just might. They've already tested the waters with the "Half Shell Heroes" or whatever.

[frank_one]

Why not a direct sequel of the 1987 series? With the exact same art style, music and everything. Isn't it the right time yet?
Me? I want a more adult series based on Mirage comics.

[Andrew NDB]

Why not a direct sequel of the 1987 series? With the exact same art style, music and everything.

They'd do that for sure if they didn't remember that the fanbase of that are all 40 years old now, and the 300 people of which that would actually bother to tune in for such a thing in 2020 wouldn't be enough to make it a success.

Me? I want a more adult series based on Mirage comics.

Of course I want that, but in live action. Though some kind of brutal "Love, Death & Robots" animated anthology thing on Netflix could work, too.

[newfan]

I find this less believable than the rumoured Netflix series, just because that at least is a different thing to try and not yet another kids toon on Nick, again, already. I mean they could be having a last ditch attempt at kids merch sales but it doesn't sound right to me, that would work better after a breather. Course, I'll come and eat my words if they announce it.

[biganimefan]

As much as I enjoy the FW series to this day, let's NOT have a new series based on that...

Let's have a series much more faithful to Mirage. Or if not that, something new, faithful to the SOURCE material, and SMART. Not something trying to follow in the footsteps of Teen Titans Go

[IndigoErth]

I'd rather a sequel of 2003 that roughly picks up where it left off. And while not needing to be the same, I'd still keep the art and animation style similar to the earlier seasons of that show, and def not that later redesign that was more reminiscent of the direction a lot of cartoons have gone these days.


And hey, while I do not want its direction becoming a primary series, Half Shell Heroes was still pretty decent for trying a spin-off for a younger audience. Still disappointed that they dropped the ball on that.

Though they already tried to go "younger" with 'Rise' -- and ended up with Turtles who look older than 2012 but act dumber -- so hopefully they'll go the opposite direction next.

[PApagreg]

If they do a more adult animated series I hope they get the same team that did Primal including Genndy

[Hockey Boy]

No freakin way.

this THIS!

[mikey0]

It’s 2020 and there are Classic TMNT Hot Wheels, so I believe the next TMNT cartoon will be Classic TMNT related.

Playmates said they would be producing toys based on Classic TMNT, so I can only surmise that the next cartoon will have something to do with Classic TMNT.

[CyberCubed]

There most likely isn't a new show coming. Playmates said they're making a new series of toys based on classic era TMNT, whoever wrote this article misinterpreted it as a new cartoon series.

[AquaParade]

**** off. Honestly like, just **** right off.

Jesus Christ. Stop trying to ruin TMNT.

Nah. This would easily be more interesting and creative than any TMNT cartoon we've ever gotten. I'd be all for it. But a Network television cartoon shouldn't be where we look for the best representation of TMNT anyway.

A new live action show? get the Jim Henson company to produce it and all.

Have you watched Primal, its pretty amazing. I think Rise of the TMNT did a good job at ruining it already.

People keep writing this but where is the proof. Where is the article or e-mail, and there is already NECA and Super 7 doing classic stuff. I would like them to re-release the old figures and if Playmates cannot find the mold to make the figure again, then they should buy an old figure from eBay and use that to remake the figure.Hasbro is doing it with Ghostbusters. It would be cool if they finished off some of the concept figures from the original line. It would also be cool to get Scratch for a decent price :)

[Andrew NDB]

I'm really honestly surprised there's been nothing in the way of anything new of TMNT 2012. Like, specials, or minis, or anything. They have the CGI assets already built and a generation's worth of interest in such a thing... what's the problem?

I don't care if they do or don't, I just find it surprising.

[Ninjinister]

wtf is TMMT?

At first I had a little hope that they would allow DVD special as isn't uncommon to have post show but as it was replaced right way I felt less hopeful, new show to take off and new toys to sell. With the Rise Netflix movie announced too I came to feel certain that the nail is in the coffin with '12. (so far as they are already doing something else outside of their network airing) I mean even if Rise came along say a year later or so, they still might just have been done with it, I am just speculating that this could have contributed there.

So far as post Rise, maybe if there is a long period of quiet there is a bigger chance that they will do a special but that could be something else altogether or a multiverse thing maybe.

[Zog The Magnificent]

The 2012 show is one show I would definitely want a post show special for. As it stands, you have two options for an ending: the Fred Wolf crossover that has a lot of messy elements and doesn't really feel like a finale, or the super depressing future story that's antithetical to this whole show. My pick would be to bring in Fugitoid, to follow up on the cliffhanger they set up but never followed up, and have him, the turtles, and Renet, as well as some of their other allies, go on some huge time travelling adventure to avoid that bad future and become the great heroes of legend that Renet said they would become. That, I feel, would be a much better and much more satisfying finale.

[Hockey Boy]

Whatever they do, i just hope they redeem Michelangelo and Casey Jones
In the 2012 series Michelangelo is so stupid he might have a brain disability and regularly makes things worse for everyone
In the Rise series he's a childish goober who got his personality stolen by Leonardo
And Casey?
In 2012 he's some punk teen to force an embarrassing love triangle, and regularly gets whooped in combat and has this strange “how do you do, fellow kids” personality
And in Rise he doesn’t exist.
Thats all i want, everything else can be terrible, hand me Chad Casey and non dumb Michelangelo and im good :lol:

[Sumac]

At this point they might as well make Mike a vegetable in the next incarnation, say broccoli. And put some orange stripes onto it. No-one will be able to spot a difference.

[CyberCubed]

I honestly don't think a new show is coming, seems like this article got things mixed up over a toyline. Playmates said they're focusing on classic TMNT figures which obviously means 80's re-releases, if there was a new cartoon coming they'd have a new wave of figures based on the new show like they had for Nick 2012 and Rise. Instead here there's nothing, so I doubt it. They wouldn't launch a show without a toyline.

[sdp]

Someone else would surely have reported on it, let's see what the future of the turtles goes, I think a small hiatus is the best scenario, long hiatus in the worst case. I think it also depends what happens with the new movie, if it's in development hell it might be a while. But who knows, we'll get a better picture during SDCC, if nothing shown there then I guess TMNT will be in a dead period like it was after 2k3 ended, which is fine. Give it some time to redo things, getting new batman shows as soon as the last one ended didn't help the Batman franchise, don't want to see that happen to TMNT.

Make cool video games, IDW comics based on the OT, a special of 2012, a toyline based on the original, plenty of things they can do while a new show or movie is developped.

[IndigoErth]

So basically broccoli with cheese.

[Vicky82]

New info.

http://www.toyhypeusa.com/2020/04/28/playmates-toys-rise-of-the-tmnt-wrestling-michelangelo-figure-review/

Playmates Toys are wrapping up their Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figure line with one of the final figures available right now, Wrestling Mikey, aka “One love.” At New York ToyFair, Playmates Toys had nothing new to show for Turtles as the series is coming to an end, but the good news is that there will be a Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated movie airing on Netflix.

Nickelodeon is also working on a new series, and what we had heard is that it’s a live-action show, which would be the second show of its kind as Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation hit the air waves in 1997. Nickelodeon will be making an official announcement on what exactly their plan is at some point, but right now we can only assume it’s a brand new show that’s not affiliated with that has come before.

So it's true, Nick are working on a new live action series.

[Leo656]

Sounds expensive, hope it's not terrible.

[newfan]

But why is no info like this coming from elsewhere? I'll pay more attention if that happens.

[CyberCubed]

If it's live action I really hope it's not Next Mutation 2.0, 2020 edition.

I still expect it to be mostly aimed at kids, but hopefully better costumes similar to the first two movies, and some decent storylines and no awful sound effects.

[IndigoErth]

Well, live action can also mean CGI and mocap. But be it that or suits, it just better not look like Next Mutation or another brand of low level quality that ends up bombing...

Not familiar with that site though... anyone know how credible their info usually is? Sounds like just a collaboration of all rumors that have gone around, so official announcements from Nick/Viacom would be nice if any of it true, or still true.

[Galactus]

They are not going to do motion capture for a TV series. Way too expensive. Frankly any method is going to be pricey for a TV budget but hopefully they can pull it off.

[pferreira]

Live action? Wait, isn't Power Rangers shown now by Nick? Uh-oh. :D
