December 2025 On Nicktoons Across Europe And Africa | Channel Premiere: A Fairly Odd Christmas Movie | Returning Shows Including The Super Duber Bunny League | More

Get ready for an action-packed, event-filled month that also brings some unexpected moves from Nicktoons toward the end of 2025. Let’s start with the most obvious premiere: The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, which arrived in November, will finish its run in the first week of December. The remaining five episodes – including the infamous “banned” episode that Nickelodeon later pulled internationally – will air in their usual time slots. After Hazel says goodbye, the heroic (and sometimes villainous) critters of Mr. Fuzzleglove return with the The Flufflekins Bunny League. New episodes have been airing abroad since September, and Nicktoons will blast through most of the remaining episodes in just two weeks. This batch not only kicks off Season 2, but also includes a Christmas special that premieres almost simultaneously with the world premiere – naturally scheduled right around the holidays. From this point on, it’s all holiday-themed episodes and movies, all debuting as part of the big Christmas marathon.

The first festive premiere is the 2016 animated movie Albert (a Christmas-obsessed little fire tree), getting its channel premiere on Christmas morning, with an encore on the morning after Boxing Day. Shortly after Albert comes a historic moment for the channel: its very first live-action content ever – A Fairly Odd Christmas (the 2012 live-action movie). These two premieres are exciting not only because one is live-action, but also because Nicktoons is finally opening the door to movies in general – something that could mean a lot more channel-premiere films in the future. Finally, brand-new holiday episodes of The Loud House and The Patrick Star Show will also arrive in late-afternoon slots during the festive period.

Could Play Room Expand To More African Markets Perhaps In Place Of Nicktoons?

Play Room, a South African based children's channel operated by Ngwato Nkosi Group offering a mixture animated and live action shows. Unlike Newzroom Afrika and Movie Room which are available across Sub-Saharan Africa, Play Room is confined to South Africa.

Not long ago, Canal+ had finalized it's acquisition of MultiChoice and expressed the notion of telling Africa's story to the world. They have been distributing regional brands like Africa Magic Hausa and Yoruba to Canal+ Afrique subscribers, these channels were exclusive to DStv.

Nicktoons which serves as a contender to Play Room had also ramped up its local offering with Nick In Your Language and NickMusic. As seen with MTV Base and BET come December 2025, those are likely to be shuttered and Nicktoons faces the possibility of audience fragmentation.

In recent years, MultiChoice had widened the reach of Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. to its DStv Family and Compact consumers making Nicktoons obsolete. SpongeBob's Zulu accent and the house vibes on NickMusic is what attracted viewers to the network. 

Nickelodeon, Nick Jr. and Nicktoons form part of the Pan-European group but only Nicktoons comes with a local variation while the rest aligns with other regions. Even if Nicktoons were to close, it's less likely that Nickelodeon would distribute this content.

Play Room serving as a contender with its own lineup of content can bolster the lineup for consumers in these markets.

Could Nicktoons And Nick Jr. (Ethiopia) Also Be At Risk Of Exiting DStv?

Paramount is in the process of shutting down some of its linear operations in Europe and Africa by the end of 2025. This includes music brands like MTV Base alongside the black focused entertainment channel, BET both of are seen on MultiChoice's DStv.

Many insiders do warn that the cuts go beyond channel terminations but content as well. A while ago, MTV had cancelled their longest running shows Ridiculousness and Catfish: The TV Show followed by Beyond Bragga and Black Gold on BET.

For Nicktoons, Nick In Your Language has offered various shows in local languages including Paw Patrol, SpongeBob Squarepants and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They also offer a musical program NickMusic which had been produced in the same production house as MTV Base.

From 2026, there's a very high possibility that alongside MTV Base and BET that these local projects on Nicktoons will be axed. 

Paramount sent a memo in July 2025 warning staff that local projects would be axed and their offices shut down. In Portugal, various channels from the company including Nickelodeon are expected to close by December 2025.

MultiChoice has seen a drop in subscriptions for their pay-tv service and following its buyout by Canal+. I'd imagine they're going to make cuts to their platform especially in markets like Ethiopia.

Canal+ had shut down its services in the region following its rollout in 2021 as they reported weak growth. MultiChoice is losing subscribers especially in Kenya and Nigeria which serve as major markets for DStv and Ethiopia is most definitely not exempt from these cuts.

MultiChoice had launched an Amharic version to Nick Jr. which very much like Nick In Your Language but as a standalone channel dubs various preschool shows. With Paramount shuttering it's offices in Africa there's no way Nick Jr. can operate independently.

Aside from BET and MTV Base, it's likely that Nick Jr. would be shutting down its localised feed in Ethiopia leaving the Pan-African feed intact. Nicktoons continues to be carried in some European markets so it's likely the one in Africa will just aligned to those markets as seen with Nickelodeon.

October 2025 On Nickelodeon, Nick Jr. And Nicktoons Across Europe And Africa | Returning Shows Including SpongeBob Squarepants & Rubble And Crew | Continue Premieres For The Wylde Pak | More

Nickelodeon 

**Canyon Valley, Bikini Bottom, and Royal Woods. These three city names summarize all the premieres expected this month.**

At the start of the month, new episodes of the much-anticipated *The Wylde Pack* series, which debuted in the final days of September, are arriving. The new episodes will continue to air on weekday evenings. However, this batch includes an 11-minute Halloween-themed banned episode that was later removed from the schedule. Interestingly, it currently looks like we’ll be getting three episodes as world premieres, and due to different episode numbering compared to the U.S., a full 22-minute episode will temporarily be skipped in our broadcasts.

Still staying in early October: *The Loud House* continues with its ninth season on Nickelodeon. As usual, there are banned episodes that will later appear on Nicktoons and SkyShowtime. However, the channel has a surprise in store for fans of the series. Fans surely know that a certain episode from Season 6 has never aired here, even though the opportunity was there years ago—probably for a reason. But that might change this year: for Halloween, two (technically three) new episodes will debut. The more recent Halloween double episode from Season 8 will be prioritized and will also air on Nicktoons a few days after the main channel. And after a few days, there’s a chance that the long-missing Season 6 Halloween episode will also finally be shown on Nickelodeon—an episode which has been rerun several times on the sister channel over the years.

Since Halloween has come up, it’s time to mention the *Patrick Star Show*’s holiday episode, which is airing thanks to the spooky season. This is the final missing piece of Season 3, which will thus conclude in our region at the end of the month. Lastly, only *SpongeBob SquarePants* is lucky enough to get a mention in this article. The series last had new episodes in May, and now after five months, it’s time again. The final episodes of Season 15 will air starting mid-October, while the first episode of Season 16 is scheduled for the end of the month.

Halloween has already been mentioned multiple times, but let’s get into the details. This year, the channel is preparing a more elaborate event than usual—a whole week of spooky fun. Not non-stop, of course, but for most of the day, scary-themed episodes from favorite shows will take over the schedule. From October 27 to November 2, from morning to evening, selected episodes from the channel’s popular series will be shown, including the new Halloween premieres and their reruns. No old shows will return, just to answer that ahead of time.

And finally, a small editorial note: it's particularly noticeable with *The Wylde Pack* that episodes are scheduled irregularly, often airing out of order in rerun slots. This may change by the time of actual airing, but it's worth keeping this in mind until there’s an official update. In the proper premiere slots, the episodes will air in the correct order, so anyone following that block won’t miss a single episode.

Marathons

**October 27 – November 2, 2025**
Daily at various times: **Halloween Specials**
A week-long Halloween event with spooky episodes and premieres from popular shows. No classic series will return.

Nick Jr.

The preschool-focused channel is delivering excitement on several fronts. Where to begin? Let’s start with the last-minute update for the month: *Blaze and the Monster Machines* is being completely removed from the schedule—even though new episodes were originally planned for October. While other regional feeds still include the show, and our November schedule hasn’t yet been updated (meaning Blaze is still present there), viewers may have reason to worry that the network is planning to phase out the show entirely.

In place of *Blaze and the Monster Machines*, *Rubble & Crew* episodes will mostly take over the late-night time slot. As a result, the Season 3 premiere originally set for mid-month is currently being aired earlier in that overnight slot. However, as we’ve seen before, this could change at the last minute. These suspected early premieres are marked in **purple**, indicating they may be swapped out by the network just before airing.

Continuing from late September, the new show *Tim Rex in Space* will run throughout most of the month. In fact, right after the Season 1 finale, they’ll kick off Season 2 with at least one new episode.

Nick Jr. hasn't forgotten about Halloween either. They’ll celebrate for a full week, airing spooky-themed episodes across nearly all time slots throughout the day. Special premieres are also scheduled as part of this Halloween week. It kicks off with a **Season 3 episode of Dora**, and on **Halloween Day itself**, the finale of *The Tiny Chef Show* is expected to premiere—though curiously, it’s actually the **season opener**. However, we say “expected” because this could also be pulled at the last minute, just like Blaze’s planned Halloween episode.

Daily at various times: **Halloween Specials**
A full week of spooky-themed episodes from various shows, including premieres and reruns.

Nicktoons 

Unfortunately, there will still be no flood of premieres on the channel, and it seems we’ll need to get used to these few premieres. Due to the late season start, part of *The Patrick Show* will extend into October, and there will also be a special Halloween episode this month. In the first few days of October, the current new episodes will finish airing, after which the Halloween marathon will bring spooky-themed episodes, including one from **Season 3** of *The Patrick Star Show*. Also part of this Halloween marathon will be *The Loud House* Halloween double episode, which will mark the end of the 13-episode **Season 8**. Ultimately, the little yellow sponge, **SpongeBob SquarePants**, will also make his return, which is expected to happen early in the month. Five months after its domestic premiere, *SpongeBob* will return with five new segments, after which the show will go on another break.

September 2025 On Nickelodeon, Nicktoons And Nick Jr. Across Europe And Africa | Channel Premiere: Wylde Park | Returning Shows Including Paw Patrol | More

Nickelodeon

Nickelodeon’s current last live-action series is returning to the screen with a new season, while the Loud family and Hazel are also getting into new adventures. At the end of the month, we will also welcome Jack and Lily's family to the channel.

On the first day of September, there will be a surprise premiere batch, as the Fairy OddParents: New Wish continues its single season. The next ten episodes will air daily in the early evening on the channel.

After Hazel and her fairies, Phoebe, Max, and Chloe will take over in the new episodes of The Thundermans: Undercover. The superhero trio returns with more struggles and sibling squabbles, which currently means the end of the first season of the series, followed immediately by the start of the second season. Paramount split the originally planned 26-episode first season in half, so the second season of The Thundermans: Undercover has already started. The new episodes will last for two weeks, but that will be more than enough because by the end of the month, two more shows will be on offer from Nick.

Let’s start with the continuation of The Loud House, which actually begins on the same day as the premiere of the new series. The originally 22-minute episodes will be split again, with an 11-minute segment airing every weekday. In this series, we are ahead of the Americans, and in fact, the ninth season is almost finishing here, while in the U.S., it hasn’t even started yet. The new series mentioned earlier, which is placed after The Loud House premieres, is called Wylde Pak. The series first aired in May on the Nicktoons YouTube channel, and in early June, it was broadcast on the American Nickelodeon. 

"Jack and Lily are half-siblings who, thanks to their parents, form a mixed-identity family. We follow the adventurous life of this half-American, half-Korean family as they try to get along as best as possible while running a joint business."

Nick Jr.

A new era begins for Nick Jr. starting in September with a range of new shows in the lineup. Right at the beginning of the month, Dora Season 3 continues, although this time it will air at a different time than usual. Starting from the 1st, the premieres will air in the early evening instead of the usual morning slots. The second half of the season will be broadcast, but the Christmas episode is planned to air in a late-night slot. 

In the second half of the month, new episodes of PAW Patrol will arrive. With this batch, Season 11 will be complete—except for a holiday special. Episodes of the series will air on weekday afternoons. And now, we can look forward to Season 12!

Finally, a brand-new series will debut at the end of September. *T-Rex Tim*, his younger brother *Tommy*, sister *Tia*, and their best friend, a triceratops named *Kai*, solve childhood problems with dinosaur-sized solutions in outer space! The show will launch with ten episodes at the end of September, so there will definitely be plenty to watch in October.

Nicktoons 

After a long break, The Loud House returns to Nicktoons with new adventures.

The last time The Loud House was featured on Nicktoons was back in December 2024, when the eighth season premiered. Although it's one of Nickelodeon’s flagship titles, it seems that lately Nick has been neglecting—or worse, letting go of—this series, especially as the number of their shows continues to shrink. And calling it "neglect" isn't an exaggeration: even after all this time, American Nickelodeon is still behind compared to our local Nicktoons, which in September will finally catch up with the main domestic channel. However, one area where the U.S. always stays ahead is The Patrick Star Show, which began airing its fourth season back in March. Here, the season debuted in June, and now in September, Nicktoons will broadcast the first five episodes as well.

Paramount To Launch Nicktoons In France On July 15

Nicktoons France will be a localised version of Nickelodeon's Nicktoons channel, which brings viewers the most popular animated series and exclusive new animated shows produced by Nickelodeon, as well as acquired animated content.

NickToons will broadcast 24/7 and is a sub-feed of Nickelodeon's Nicktoons Global pan-regional feed, with a localised French language track. The channel, also known as Nicktoons France, will be operated by Paramount Networks Europe, Middle East, Africa & Asia (EMEAA). The channel will launch with the broadcast of the Tales Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Légendes des Tortues Ninja episode "Splinter et April affontent un poisson rouge" ("Splinter and April Fight a Goldfish").

NickToons is set to replace Nickelodeon Teen (previously Nickelodeon 4Teen), Nickelodeon France's localised TeenNick channel for teens and tweens, which will closedown after 10 years of service at the end of the broadcast day on Monday 14th July 2025.

Nickelodeon channels in France can't abbreviate "Nickelodeon" to "Nick" due to domestic language policies, along with "Nick" sounding similar to a French profanity.

Sonic Prime Will Be Making It's European And African Debut On Nicktoons In July

Sonic Prime comes to Nicktoons as part of a partnership between Paramount and WildBrain to bring the hit series to various Nickelodeon channels internationally. The agreement will see 22 half-hour episodes and one hour-long special of Sonic Prime launch on Nicktoons in the Hungary, Romania, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Poland and Africa from 21 July.

Katie Wilson, VP Global Sales and Acquisitions at WildBrain, said: “SEGA’s Sonic the Hedgehog is one of today’s most popular entertainment brands. Sonic Prime is a huge hit with fans and a terrific example of how, at WildBrain, we are able to partner with IP owners to drive engagement for brands. With their strong track record of Sonic content across highly popular live-action feature films and their Knuckles series, Paramount is the ideal partner to extend Sonic Prime’s popularity with new audiences around the world on Nickelodeon.”

Layla Lewis, Senior Vice President, Global Acquisitions and Content Partnerships at Nickelodeon, said: “The Sonic the Hedgehog universe has captivated the hearts of millions around the globe. We are thrilled to partner with WildBrain to bring the series to life on Nickelodeon channels, delivering an action-packed experience that will enthrall audiences around the world.”

Ivo Gerscovich, Senior Vice President and Chief Business and Brand Officer of Sonic, Head of SEGA® Brands, said: “Sonic Prime captivated the Sonic community and audiences worldwide when it was released. Making our content as accessible as possible to our dedicated fanbase is something we always strive for and being able to bring Sonic Prime to more viewers worldwide is the perfect way to make that come to fruition.”

In Sonic Prime, the action-packed adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog go into overdrive when a run-in with Dr. Eggman results in a literal universe-shattering event. Desperate to piece his prime reality back together and save his old friends, Sonic races through the Shatterverse, discovering strange worlds and enlisting new friends in an epic adventure of a lifetime.

Co-produced by SEGA and WildBrain, Sonic Prime was animated at WildBrain’s Vancouver studio, with SEGA and WildBrain jointly participating across production, distribution and licensing. SEGA represents licensing for Sonic Prime in North America, LatAm and Japan, while WildBrain CPLG represents the brand in the rest of the world.

Entertainment Upgraded!!! MultiChoice Extends Comedy Central To DStv Family With Nicktoons To DStv Access

South African DStv subscribers will have access to a whole lot more fun and laughter following the addition of NickToons to the satellite service’s Access package and Comedy Central Africa to the Family package, effective from 1 April 2025.

This development means existing subscribers will now be able to watch the fan favourite premium programming exclusive to these two Paramount Africa channels without having to upgrade their DStv packages.

Says Monde Twala, Senior Vice President & GM Paramount Africa & Lead BET International; “We are delighted to expand the reach of Comedy Central Africa and NickToons to more South Africans. Comedy Central delivers non-stop laughs as the continent’s only around-the-clock comedy destination, while NickToons serves up perennial family entertainment favourites while constantly adding fresh, new content with local flavour to its roster. This expansion underscores our commitment to providing inclusive world class entertainment for all.”

The move of NickToons (channel 308) – Nickelodeon’s go-to channel for the best cartoons with maximum local flavour – to DStv Access means that a broader group of kids will have access to the groundbreaking Nick In Your Language initiative. Always animated, always funny, the channel will premiere a new season of The Patrick Star Show (from 31 March, weekdays at 16:30), and new episodes of PAW Patrol (starting in June) in isiZulu and Afrikaans, in addition to the original English.
 
Don’t be surprised to see the little ones up on their feet, singing, moving and vibing to NickMusic (weekdays at 09:00), a lively music variety show counting down the world’s coolest tunes mixed with interactive games and activities. Also available will be brand-new episodes of all-time fan-favourite SpongeBob SquarePants.

SpongeBob fans can come and meet their favourite pineapple-dwelling TV character at the Joburg Zoo this Easter break, from 18 to 21 April 2025, when he makes a guest appearance during the Nickelodeon Easter Extravaganza with fun activities for the whole family to enjoy.

DStv Family subscribers will enjoy full access to a bumper offering from Comedy Central Africa (channel 122) from 1 April 2025. Nostalgia junkies can dive into beloved classic programming such as The Neighbourhood, Everybody Hates Chris and King of Queens, while the long-running South Park continues to shatter records (and funny bones) with its subversive animated humour and The Daily Show dishes up hilarious hot takes on the news of the day.

Plus, subscribers can look forward to the annual Comics’ Choice Comedy Awards in May, celebrating the continent’s most side-splitting comedians and their outrageous one-liners.

Could Nicktoons Expand To DStv Access Consumers In South Africa If It Lives Through Another Year?

During the week, MultiChoice added the last remaining premium kids channels Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. from Paramount Global to DStv Compact consumers in South Africa. This means even less consumers would depend on the scraps from Nicktoons as they get further access to later seasons of SpongeBob Squarepants and DORA.

This would also give them further access to live-action series such as Henry Danger, Tyler Perry's Young Dylan, The Really Loud House and The Thundermans.

Nicktoons in recent years has moved away from being a mirrored version to Nickelodeon's late 90s to early 00s to now serving as a promotional window to most of their fresher shows. For the past 10 years, Family and Compact consumers had been reliant on the channel to get most of these titles from Nickelodeon.

Now that Nickelodeon is no longer a premium channel this only means that while it and Nick Jr. would garner more exposure less attention is going to be poured onto Nicktoons. MultiChoice Africa already distributes Nickelodeon alongside rivalled platforms which sort of widens the reach of the channel.

Nicktoons doesn't have exposure within Africa as MultiChoice distributes it under the Compact bouquet which to some extent can be considered premium. Even with Nick In Your Language, my point still stands who would want to watch weekly episodes of Transformers: Earthspark on Nicktoons if you can get it for more hours on Nickelodeon.

In South Africa, there is a bit of hope for Nicktoons if MultiChoice moved it to DStv Access as Play Room offers a rivalled offering to Nick In Your Language. Then there's CBeebies which very similar to Nicktoons has also been dubbing some of their preschool in local languages.

Skydance Media is currently in the process of acquiring Paramount Global by the first half of 2025 which is awaiting regulatory approval. According to Bloomberg, the plan is to merge MTV Studios with CBS Studios while reducing linear spend which could lead to the closure or merger of various TV channels.

RUMOUR. TeenNick Might Be Replaced By Nicktoons In Latin America

The TeenNick channel recently adopted the new Splat graphic to align with the new global identity of the Nickelodeon brand. According to rumors, Paramount Global could discontinue the commercialization of TeenNick in the region and return to the Nicktoons channel, which is dedicated exclusively to broadcasting cartoons. 

Nicktoons already existed in Latin America, but stopped being commercialized in 2020 to make way for NickMusic, using the American music channel signal until today. Later, it was discovered that the channel never stopped broadcasting in Latin Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. Now, Paramount seems to be reconsidering taking advantage of this signal, which is generated from the European subsidiary of the company. 

The user Nick Latam Promos revealed on X/Twitter that the Mexican cable operator Izzi has a new program for Nicktoons that will go into effect from July 19 at 21:00 hrs MEX, 22:00 hrs COL/PER, 23:00 hrs CHI/ FRI y 00:00hrs ARG . Until now, no other cable operator has updated its programming for the advanced dates of July, so this information should still be taken with caution and not as official.

Nicktoons programming includes series like "SpongeBob SquarePants", "The Loud House", "The Casagrandes", "ALVINNN!!! and the Chipmunks", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (2012), "The Twisted Timeline Of Sammy & Raj", and "The Patrick Star Show", due to the relaunch of the channel in Latin America, would make its debut on the region's pay TV. the region. 

On the other hand, the programming of Nicktoons from the 19th of July was recently updated in the system, which increases the certainty of the information. 

In addition, the signals of Nickelodeon for Panregional and Brazil will receive a new programming, with fewer hours dedicated to live-actions, similar to the grid of the Mexican signal. This, along with the rumor of the return of Nicktoons, could be part of an effort by Paramount to give greater priority to animated series in the region.

Development Alert: Sharkdog Formerly Exclusive To Netflix To Make Its International Debut On Nicktoons, The Nick Jr. Block Loses Its Daytime Slot For Nick In Your Language

A few months ago, it was reported that Nicktoons would be airing the Nickelodeon produced show Sharkdog from Netflix in May. But that was never the case as Nicktoons began to rebrand their offering with Sharkdog serving as the first initiative from the rebrand. 

A user known as Narq uploaded a Polish promo for the preschool show on his YouTube channel with the series slated for June/July premiere. This can only confirm that Sharkdog instead of serving as an African premiere will be more global/European. 

Sharkdog follows 10 year old Max and his best friend Sharkdog - half shark, half dog, all appetite. Blissfully unaware of his own strength, stealth and general sharkiness, Sharkdog often leaves a trail of chaos in his wake. But, like all good half-dogs, he's Max's BFF and Max is his.

It is created by Singaporean creator Jacinth Tan and produced by Paramount Global's ViacomCBS International Studios, in partnership with Singaporean based CGI animation studio One Animation.

Although a release date has yet to be confirmed, Nicktoons does however a timeslot vacated from 1st July at 17:00 which is where new Rock, Paper, Scissors was seen. So maybe Sharkdog will just swoop in within that timeslot since that timeslot is known for premieres.

Nick Jr. get less airtime on Nicktoons 

As seen later in the month, Nicktoons introduced Nick In Your Language which is basically Nickelodeon’s way of connecting to a local audience. By that we mean dub various shows such as SpongeBob SquarePants to IsiZulu and Afrikaans. 

Following its popular inception to the channel, Paw Patrol was the second program to get locally dubbed for the channel. This came at the price of the Nick Jr. block whose timeslot is being used to handle these shows with the only other means of viewing it at late nights.

The news doesn't come as a shocker to some as the late night preschool block was more productive than its daytime slot. Then there's also this thing of Nickelodeon supplying the block with Nick Jr. also having its own channel for most of the content. 

The Reboot Of "Ren and Stimpy" Makes Its Global Premiere In July On Comedy Central, Including Latin America, CIS, Africa And Romania

Ren and Stimpy are back. After almost four years since its announcement and several setbacks in its production, the long-awaited (and controversial) reboot of one of Nickelodeon's most iconic animated series from the 90s will finally premiere this July. This news comes shortly after the original series left the programming of Comedy Central's Latin American channel due to a change in operations. Let's briefly review the production chronology of this series.

In August 2020, Comedy Central, owned by Paramount Global and Nickelodeon's sister channel, announced the green light to produce a reboot of "Ren and Stimpy." From the beginning, it was confirmed that John Kricfalusi, original creator of the franchise, would not participate in the new series nor receive financial compensation due to accusations of workplace mistreatment and sexual abuse against two minor women at the time: Robyn Byrd and Katie Rice , who worked at Spümcø, Kricfalusi's animation studio, becoming involved in the production of the original series and Adult Party Cartoon, its canceled successor for a more mature audience. Following the announcement of the reboot, Robyn Byrd started a petition on Change.org to cancel it, although it was apparently unsuccessful and the petition was eventually withdrawn, despite considerable support. Later, it was discovered that Byrd was participating in the production of the reboot. Initially planned as a collaboration between MTV Entertainment Studios and Nickelodeon Animation Studio, with animation handled by the latter, production moved to Awesome Inc. (which made other series such as "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" or "Squidbillies") in October 2021. A month earlier, it had been confirmed that Billy West would reprise his voice roles as Ren and Stimpy.

Throughout much of 2022, there was a dearth of news about the reboot, leading many to speculate that it might have been quietly canceled. However, in September 2022, Snipple Animation Studios ("New Looney Tunes", "Jellystone!") announced its involvement as an animation provider. In turn, Billy West explained that development was significantly delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, thus denying cancellation rumors. And so we arrive at December 2023, the month in which Paramount Global suffered a series of security breaches, leaking fragments of what appears to be the first episode of the reboot. This includes the "Screentime / All About Log" segments. Later, last May, a complete episode, the sixth, was leaked, containing the "Aw Hell No! / Squatters" segments, with clapperboard included and full credits.

Thanks to these episodes, we can confirm that John Kricfalusi is not mentioned in the credits as the creator of the characters, unlike other productions where the creators continue to be credited after facing accusations, such as Chris Savino with "The Loud House" or Justin Roiland with "Rick and Morty." Plus, Vanessa Coffey, the woman behind the ingenious idea of ​​Nicktoons in the early '90s, is back as an executive producer, which is a nice surprise. However, it is unfortunate that much of the series' original team, including Bob Camp (who was initially planned to participate but left the project due to creative differences), is not involved. This means that the reboot has primarily been developed by people with no prior experience with the franchise or the characters. We also do not know if, for the Latin dubbing, Ren and Stimpy will have some of the voices that have given them life over the years (including Alfonso Obregón or Igor Cruz as Ren and José Luis Orozco, Martín Soto or Jorge Ornelas for Stimpy), or if there will be recasting.

But returning to the main topic, Comedy Central Latin America will premiere in its programming the new iteration of "Ren y Stimpy" with the segments "Renhattan / Table for Human / Clear Toilet" this Friday, July 12, around 10:30 p.m. MEX | 22:50hrs BRA | 23:30hrs COL/PER | 00:30hrs CHI/VEN | 01:30 hrs ARG. This date also applies to most of Comedy Central's international signals managed by Paramount Networks EMEAA, including the CIS countries, South Africa (at 10:50 p.m.) and Romania (at 10:00 p.m.). Because the premiere has not yet been officially announced by Paramount Global, it is worth clarifying that the date is subject to last minute modifications. New episodes will continue every Friday, at 10:00 p.m. BRA/MEX | 23:00hrs COL/PER | 00:00hrs CHI/VEN | 01:00 hrs ARG. The titles for Friday, July 19 are "Screentime / All About Log / Milk Pulp", and for Friday the 26th "Bad Stimpy / The Mother of all Yaksmases / Yucky the Mudman" will air. Additionally, starting Friday the 19th, each episode aired the previous week will be repeated right after that night's premiere.

At the moment, there is no set date for its release in the rest of the world, including the United States, its country of origin. Curiously, prior to this long-awaited premiere (except in Romania), Comedy Central will also present on its screens "South Park: The End of Obesity", the most recent Paramount+ original special of the successful adult animation franchise. In the same way, the channel will undergo a new change in its programming for Latin America that will bring back local programs. More details soon. The official synopsis for the reboot reads: "You may have thought you caught them during a misremembered fever dream when you were home sick in first grade, but misfit jester Ren and innocent jester Stimpy are back in an animated series! brand new full of laughter, screams and disturbingly grotesque frames that you can't miss! With new and delicious nightmares to burn into your retinas! In this season, Ren and Stimpy take on human skin, meet a genie, get scurvy, They join a cult, discover the wonders of hair removal, shoot a movie, undergo plastic surgery in a mall, go to hell, discover the true meaning of laquetal, and MUCH MORE! With the return of fan-favorite characters, as well as new characters voiced by actors you probably like."

‘SpongeBob’ Universe Expands With Three Paramount+ Spinoff Movies, New Theatrical Film

Three new SpongeBob SquarePants character spinoff movies for Paramount+ are in the works at Nickelodeon Studios, in addition to a new theatrical release about the porous resident who lives in a Pineapple-under-the-sea. The news was announced today by Brian Robbins, Chief Content Officer, Movies and Kids & Family for Paramount+ at the ViacomCBS Investor Event.

The first of Paramount+’s SpongeBob character spinoff movies, which focus on different Bikini Bottom residents, will drop in 2023.

The expansion of the SpongeBob franchise follows the recent success of SpongeBob series offshoots Kamp Koral on Paramount+ and The Patrick Star Show on Nickelodeon, the first season of which will be available soon to stream on Paramount+.

Paramount has made three SpongeBob feature movies, the first in 2004, which altogether have grossed close to $471M worldwide. The highest grossing installment was 2015’s The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water which grossed over $325M WW. However, because of the pandemic, Paramount was forced to pull The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run from U.S. release in 2020. The sequel received a Canadian theatrical release in August of that year, making $4.8M, while the film in the states served as the branded launch for Paramount+ in 2021. The pic’s foreign rights, except for China, were sold to Netflix.

“As we’ve known with Nickelodeon’s long-standing success, the kids and family audience is incredibly loyal, and we see that on Paramount+ as well, with kids and family ranking as one of the strongest genres on the service in terms of both engagement and subscriber acquisition,” said Robbins. “So as they stay for our shows and look for even more of them, we’re doubling down on giving them what they want by expanding the universes of the characters they love the best.”


Development Alert: Nicktoons Global (Including Africa) Might Be Debuting Splat Rebrand Soon

Earlier in the month, Nicktoons got the Splat rebrand in the UK after it failed to do so in Africa earlier in the year. Amidst the rebrand in the UK, there were rumours that remaining feeds of the channel would also adopt this new logo within the month.

Surprise, several viewers had spotted the soon-to-be launched logo for Nicktoons between shows. As pictured above, the logo is now in the top right corner as seen with sister channels Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. and from the looks of the graphics these designs are likely from European feeds.

As some readers are aware, most of Paramount’s channels particularly in Europe had been globalized with some brands like BET and MTV Base still seen with local variations. 

Nicktoons' African feed was part of this latter but may not be the case entirely. Sometime in 2023, the channel's older kids lineup matched of Germany, Turkey, Arabia and Asia so it didn't seem that much coincidental that we'd rebrand altogether. 

Several rumours point toward the channel rebranding later in the following week. I mean considering the UK had rebranded much earlier you'd presume other feeds would follow within a 3 month timeframe if not sooner.

Development Alert (Rumour): Transformers: Earthspark Reportedly Cancelled On Nickelodeon And Paramount+ After 2 Seasons

Transformers: EarthSpark is an animated television series based on the Transformers toyline by Hasbro. It was developed by Dale Malinowski, Ant Ward and Nicole Dubuc for the streaming service Paramount+ and also Nickelodeon. 

Synopsis for Transformers: Earthspark 

Fifteen years after the space bridge to Cybertron is destroyed, ending the civil war between the Autobots and the Decepticons, the Malto family relocates from Philadelphia to the small town of Witwicky, Pennsylvania. There, young Robby and Mo Malto witness the birth of a new breed of Earth-born Transformers called Terrans, who become emotionally bonded to the two via special cyber-sleeves on their arms.

The first season premiered on Paramount+ in the United States by November 11, 2022 and was produced by Entertainment One in partnership with Nickelodeon Animation Studio, with animation services provided by Icon Creative Studio.

In February 2023, a second season of Transformers: Earthspark was commissioned by the network which is set to rollout in the United States by June 7, 2024 and elsewhere sometime in the year. 
According to a user named Protoman, this would be the final season with "someone" working on the next iteration to Transformers. Ratings were reportedly low for Transformers: Earthspark which affected toy sales and other merchandising. 

Taking to account availability of Paramount+, this isn't a streaming service available on a wider scale like Netflix but is more like SkyShowcase in Europe - regional. It's broadcast on Nickelodeon channels was atrocious with very little airtime as they were weekly. 

Now the possible cancellation is being cited as low viewership perhaps with proper marketing the show could have expanded wider as Monster High.

"Enter The Splat Zone": Paramount Rebrands Nicktoons In The UK, Might Rebrand Alongside TeenNick In Parts Of Europe And Africa In The Coming Weeks

In 2023, Nickelodeon revived one of their iconic logos "The Splat" and incorporated it with the current font of the brand. A year after its rollout, there's still various countries that have yet to go Splat as Nicktoons in the UK rebranded earlier in the week.

As reported by NickALive, the rebrand occurred on Worker's Day being May 1st in parts of UK & Ireland. Based on Nickelodeon’s recently launched Splat logo, the rebrand includes new on-air graphics such as bumpers, promos and idents.

Last year, MultiChoice and Paramount had reached a new agreement which would see Nickelodeon in the rest of Southern Africa switch to high definition. This was also accompanied by the revamped Splat logo which was introduced months prior.

At the time, it was also stated that Nicktoons and Nick Jr. would undergo a rebrand before the end of 2023. None of which come to pass as Nick Jr. was only fortunate to go Splat by February of this year (due to globalization) with Nicktoons that has yet to switch.

Insiders report that the designs of Nicktoons and TeenNick's global feeds might be updated by May 20th. Although, that's still awaiting confirmation 
most feeds are aligned or handled within the UK so the timeframe of the rebrand would only seem logical.

This may more likely include the Nicktoons feed in Africa cause as mentioned part of the feed is globalized with some local variations. It was long speculated after the feed had switched from the U.S. graphic designs to the one situated in parts of Europe. 

"Weird Observation": Nickelodeon’s Global Operations Possibly Rebranded To Nickelodeon Global Unlimited

During the week, Nickelodeon unveiled a list of upcoming attractions for the channel alongside Nick Jr for June. This included the new film No Time To Spy: A Loud House Movie for Paramount+ which will likely be exempted from countries.

As some readers have noticed, Nicktoons wasn't included in this lineup of announcements that's because while Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. had been globalized. There's still some parts of Nicktoons which are localized and that include the Nick Jr. block and NickMusic.

Anticipating that these highlights are handled by someone within Africa while the others are situated in Europe. Of course, what got my attention here about Nick's June portfolio was the trademark "Nickelodeon Global Unlimited".

For those aren't aware, feeds for the channel in Africa had been unified with Germany, Poland, Denmark and various parts of Europe. At that time, this was simply known as Nickelodeon Africa before forming with other markets to be known as Nickelodeon Global. 

On the first page of this PDF File, Nickelodeon Global Unlimited had been introduced so if anything could it be possible that Nick Global underwent a name change honestly it wouldn't seem far fetched.

Nickelodeon relaunched Splat with a modernized design in 2023. It would only make sense if other parts of the network were being refurbished I mean "Unlimited" meaning endless sort of expands the channel's structure and makes it feel elite.

The Splat had sort of come at the time the channel had been revisiting past shows and reviving them for modern audiences. This year, Nick Jr. launched a reboot of Dora The Explorer (shortened to Dora) with Fairly OddParents: A New Wish on Nickelodeon.

"Beating A Dead...": Why SpongeBob SquarePants Graveyard Channel Still Serves A Purpose In Africa?

Nicktoons is an international brand operated by Paramount Global and also serves as a sister station to both Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. It was basically a nickname given for the latter's animated productions as the linear channel exists to air archived material.

The channel launched in Africa by September 2014 after NBCUniversal and Corus Entertainment had shuttered KidsCo. It served as the most popular international adaptation of the channel airing animated shows from the 90s to early 00s.

But in recent years this had all changed as the channel was often functioning on autopilot as SpongeBob SquarePants and The Casagrandes takeover the channel. The magic had just vanished as the brand follows a similar pursuit as other international feeds.

As some readers are aware, similar to MTV both Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. are being streamlined at this point using a more unified feed in other countries. This has prevented/minimized the number of local variations to hit consumer's screens.

There are still a few of these feeds available some due to local quotas which expand further to include children's channels.

In Africa, these local investments had been splashed onto Paramount’s remaining set of channels. For instance, MTV Base it has been seen airing MTV's Shuga despite being positioned as a music channel while others like Have Faith air on BET.

Nicktoons was also a result of these endeavors as it currently offers the Nick Jr. block which would often air content that hasn't been seen on the Nick Jr. channel like Munki And Trunk. Same goes with local dubbings of animated shows and NickMusic.
