Paramount+ Reveals The Logo For 'Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'
The official announcement comes on the heels of having at least a bit of every major part of the TMNT franchise
On Tuesday, September 19, Paramount+ added both the oldest and newest pieces of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles non-comics media: the first two seasons of the original animated series, and the latest feature film, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. This means that they have enough of everything in the franchise, something from all four animated series (including three complete) and now all seven theatrical films. It’s enough to make a boasty promo all about it.
It goes that Paramount+ has all the turtles, using clips from all four animated series, lthe original movies and of course Mutant Mayhem. What’s the plan? Kick, punch, pizza. Paramount+ is the home for all things Turtles, and we’re in. It mentions that Mutant Mayhem is now streaming, but also to check out the new series, Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, streaming in 2024, complete with a full reveal of its logo.
Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is 2D-animated and currently set for two seasons, to serve as a “bridge” between Mutant Mayhem and its sequel. The official description says the Turtles "will be challenged like never before as Leo, Raph, Donnie and Mikey each go it alone for the first time. Faced with new threats and teaming up with old allies, the Turtles will discover who they really are when they don’t have their brothers at their sides." Only the turtles, Micah Abbey as Donatello, Shamon Brown Jr. as Michelangelo, Nicolas Cantu as Leonardo and Brady Noon as Raphael, are known to be reprising their roles for the series so far. It is produced by Point Grey Pictures like the movies. Secret Headquarters and Thor: Ragnarok co-writer Christopher Yost (4Kids and 2012) and Alan Wan, who comes from both preceding Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series (2012 and Rise) will be serving as executive producers and showrunners. Lukas Williams will be overseeing the series for Point Grey.
Sure, they don’t have Turtles Forever or Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation yet, let alone Coming Out of Their Shells, We Wish You a Turtle Christmas, or Turtle Tunes, but it can be assumed that the latter four aren’t exactly being clamored for, so it’s given a pass. However, they don’t have Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie, whose stay at Netflix will probably be quite lengthy. Paramount+ does also have the Half-Shell Heroes special which is much more appreciated than the former four. The streamer has also boasted it’s the home of the SpongeBob Universe, but because The Patrick Star Show only completed its first season after two years in July, it hasn’t been able to arrive on the platform and allow them to boast they have everything SpongeBob. And while Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie is headed to Netflix as well, that will clearly by precedent not impede such a boast should Paramount+ want to make it. Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will premiere in 2024.
