Chances for season 6 renewal?

[WolvDragon]

Usually this would be the time Nick will announce if more seasons for this show will be ordered. I been watching carefully to see if they either renewed it for season 6 or if Nick finally ended it once and for all.

This is based off info from wikipedia so let me disclose it first. But according to the ratings posted in the episode guide for this show they have been pretty stable throughout season 4, and dipping just by a few since season 3, but more or less staying the same above 1 million viewers watching it through TV, so this excludes any internet viewership.

I don't know if we should attribute it's future to TMNT 2 not being successful at Box Office. But do you think the movie's less than stellar Box Office results will have any impact on the shows future? Seeing how this movie hasn't been released in China yet, I guess it's kinda premature to say it's not what Nick expected. However, at the moment the movie is not doing so well.

Basic point is, with the movie not raking in the money, and the ratings more or less staying the same. Do you think season 6 could still happen or is season 5 the last hurrah?

I should also point out that I'm not aware if TMNT toys are selling good enough. And since toys sometimes determine the fate of cartoons (Young Justice for example) I think this should be a likely factor as well to determine if the show gets renewed for another season.

I fully expect the show to have a 7 season run. I'm sure we'll hear news of a renewal sometime either late this year or early next year.

I am content with the show ending at season 5. We would still have a total of 124 episodes for the whole series, not counting the movies, half shell heroes specials and various other forms of tmnt media produced throughout this generation.

I hope they aim for at least 6 or 7 seasons. But I am fine if the show did end at season 5. It will have over 100 episodes, thus keeping tradition of TMNT cartoons lasting a good long while over other cartoons.

So as long as they conclude the main story between the Turtles in their fight against Shredder.

Both previous TMNT cartoons made at least 150 episodes:

Original cartoon: 193 total episodes

2k3 series: 156 episodes and Turtles Forever

Anything less than 150 episodes for the Nick cartoon is a failure in my eyes.

If memory serves, they announced season 5 at the San Diego Comic-con last year and the year before that they announced season 4. I think chances are good we'll hear something during this year's Comic-con. If not...then maybe next year will finally get a renewal for season 6. We'll see.

I'd like them to go the full 7 seasons if they could, but I am well aware that this latest round for the franchise does seem to be winding down (and has been on tv for some time now)

I'm happy so long as the series actually 'ends' with a nice conclusion and doesn't just cut off with all the plot threads unresolved.

Drives me nuts when series do that

That is an unusually high expectation, most cartoons don't last more than 52 episodes anyway so you should just be happy it has already passed that threshold.

[thundermaster612]

It's either it ends at 8 seasons for me or (most preferably) 11 seasons...

What? It either beats 2k3's record or the official '87 record.

[FredWolfLeonardo]

Its interesting to note how the 5th season has 20 seasons instead of the usual 26. For a while, season 4 was also meant to have 20 until they suddenly changed it back to 26. I see it as a sudden decision to extend the show's lifespan because for a while, i thought it would end at season 4 due to the lower number of episodes.

Regardless though, if theres sometime to really find out, it will be during this years comic con.

Since when is season-ception a thing?
Eh, nice to know the show has beat records already in 4 years

I don't see any reason that the show won't have a sixth season. The only major competition that the brand has right now is Star Wars. And the two seem to both be flourishing.

And a TV movie. Don't forget the TV movie.

Well that's my point, TMNT cartoons tend to go on a very long time.

Most other cartoons get canceled after 26-65 episodes or so, very few action cartoons go on for more than 100 episodes. In fact other than TMNT I think the only other ones are B:TAS? Almost all other DC and Marvel cartoons get canceled early.

[NinjaPug]

With the 2nd half of season 4 not scheduled to start until September I don't think we'll be hearing anything about a potential S6 renewal this year.

[Luzmagica]

they must continue! we need to know what happens yet! ..i mean still being some stories for developing!

Yup. At best, a potential sixth season won't debut until early 2018.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars had over 100 and Avatar had 3 seasons. Ben Ten lasted over 9 years through 4 shows with the same continuity outside of the 4th one.

[CyberCubed]

Yeah I forgot about Star Wars.

Avatar only made 62 episodes or so though.

[Aaronardo]

Unless you count Legend of Korra which is in the same universe with the same continuity, in which case Avatar has in total 7 seasons with a total of 113 episodes. But that all depends on if you count them both together.

On the topic of a Season 6 renewal, I can't see it not happening. The show's popular enough as is the brand. Nickelodeon will most likely announce it at their upfront next year. Fans of the show shouldn't have anything to worry about.
