TMNT renewed for Season 5
 

This was posted in the SDCC thread but should have its own thread so people can see it:

Like I expected, we're most likely going to get a 7 season and 150 episode run before the show ends. We'll be up to 118 episodes by the end of Season 5....so we still have some more to go.

I guess the people claiming Nick had some diabolical plan to cancel their show are eating their words right now.

I don't think I ever said they were planning to cancel the show (I just had fears they might pull a Marvel on us), I did say it was stupid of you to assume the show would get 7 seasons when we didn't even know if there was going to be a season 5. It's stupid of you to assume it will reach season 7 though...

It probably will though barring some major catastrophe.

Declining toy sales are, to studios, a major catastrophe.

YYYessss! :tsmile:

Booyakasha! I'm so glad this is happening. I did fear the show would be cancelled after season 4 as that CAN happen. But now I don't have to worry as we now have confirmation that season 5 is coming.

It's great that Ciro's wish of getting this series up to five seasons has came true.

As much as I love this show, I wouldn't want it to last any longer. Not because I fear that it will eventually change directions (Red Sky, Fast Forward and BttS) but I'd like to see another take on a TMNT cartoon. When you stick with one version for so long, you'd eventually get tired of it. Part of the appeal of this property is the multiple different interpretations of it (regardless of how good or bad they are).

The show should not end till it hits 150 episodes and makes 7 seasons. I also think it getting its own DTV like Turtles Forever is likely to happen too.

Sweet! I hope Tokka mutates soon! I wan't him to be in this series!

The odds looked good for the show to get many seasons from the time it began, however no one claimed Nick had a diabolical plan to cancel the show but before the show even premiered you were already claiming the show needed to be at least 150+ episodes and 7 seasons because the two previous shows reached that milestone. That's just silly.

I agree with Cubed...as he mentioned before, Nick spent millions to buy the TMNT franchise..even if sales of toys decline they will try to promote it with the show itself

they won't give up on it so easily

The funny thing is with 20 episode seasons, it only needs 7 seasons to hit 150 episodes too.

But just because it's renewed for a fifth season doesn't automatically mean it'll be seven seasons or more long. That depends on ratings and how long they want to tell the story.

You know, I'm going to find it very funny when/if the show gets renewed for a 7th season like Cybercubed and others have said. When all the naysayers are offered a chance to eat their words(this includes myself by the way).


Seriously though, I was VERY happily surprised when the series was renewed for a 5th season yesterday. I figured that the series wasn't doing well enough to renew it for another season(at least not until season 4 almost finished airing). So...what, is the show considered good enough to renew if the ratings are above a million for each episode? Or do they actually include internet viewing, with a combination of toy sales, dvd sales, movie box office, and comic sales?

Yeah, yesterday was indeed a great day to be a Ninja Turtle fan! :D

Didn't Ciro once mentioned that if the series ends up going past season 5, he might start adapting from the IDW comics? If so, sign me up for season 6+ bandwagon:P

That's great news.
It will probably be the year 2020 and we still are getting new episode for the 2012 series.

Its quite possible. Its also possible after a few years they'll do a revamp in the same continuity with the Turtles as 18 year olds..aimed at the kids who grew up with the Nick cartoon as adults.

Oh jeez, just reading this got me excited. That'd be great.

Oh, right. And hooray for season 5. :tlol:

hey, thats FANTASTIC news!I love to think forward and there is still so much show ahead...
I would love for the show to mild down on bringing in so many new characters in seasons 4 and 5 and work on the interesting characters/storylines they introduced thus far...I have a feeling we will get much more of this in season 4...with triceratons and fugitoid and all....

I am happy it's getting a 5th season, not that I am surprised.
