Nickelodeon’s hit 1990s cartoon Rugrats is all set to grace our television screens once again.
The show will be returning with 26 new episodes along with a live-action feature film featuring CGI characters for Paramount Players, a report by Variety has revealed.
Both the TV series and the movie will include new adventures with the show’s characters Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, Susie and Angelica along with a new world of characters.
Premiering in 1991, the Rugrats last aired in 2004, a run that spanned nine seasons.
“Now feels like the ideal time to reintroduce this iconic cast of characters to a whole new generation of young fans,” said Brian Robbins, president of Paramount Players, said in a press release.
“Kids who grew up with Tommy Pickles and the Rugrats crew will now be able to share that experience with their own children,” he added.
The show’s original creators Arlene Klasky, Gabor Csupo and Paul Germain will return to the TV series as executive producers.
Rugrats joins the recently announced return of Blue’s Clues as the latest classic original series Nickelodeon is bringing back for today’s generation of kids and families. Nickelodeon produced and aired an all-new Hey Arnold! special in 2017, and has announced the return of two more beloved titles as forthcoming specials: Rocko’s Modern Life and Invader Zim.
Rugrats movie is expected to release on November 13, 2020.
