Nickelodeon is in the midst of reviving a number of beloved animated properties from the 1990s and now Rugrats is going to be next. It's been confirmed today that Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon are relaunching the TV series with an initial 26-episode order and that will be accompanied by a live-action movie featuring CGI characters (presumably because the babies they're all able to talk).
"Rugrats is hands-down one of the most celebrated cartoons in TV history, and we are thrilled for a whole new audience to meet these iconic characters in brand-new adventures," Interim Nickelodeon President Sarah Levy said in a statement. "What was true in 1991 when the original show premiered is still true today: kids are fascinated with the world of babies. We can’t wait for today’s kids to meet Tommy, Chuckie and pals." The nostalgia factor and new fans could combine to make this film a hit.
We'll have to wait and see on that front but what we do know is that Rugrats' original creators Arlene Klasky, Gábor Csupó and Paul Germain will serve as executive producers on both projects, while the movie is being written by David Goodman. It's been given a release date of November 13th, 2020.
