Nickelodeon's Rugrats reboot has been renewed for a second season, with all-new episodes of Season One heading to Paramount+ on October 7.
You better continue to hang on to your diapers, babies, because the CGI reboot of Rugrats has just been renewed for a 13-episode second season in the U.S., Latin America, Australia and Canada. The news of the renewal arrives right ahead of the next eight episodes of Season One.
"Kids series' are a key driver of engagement for Paramount+," Tanya Giles, Chief Programming Officer at Paramount+, said of the announcement. "With the renewal of Rugrats for a second season, we look forward to bringing even more adventures with Tommy, Chuckie, Angelica and the rest of the Rugrats for kids and families to enjoy."
"This next season of Rugrats will dive even deeper into the secret life of babies and their unsuspecting parents, while continuing to highlight the main themes of friendship and family," added Nickelodeon Animation President Ramsey Naito, who also highlighted that the renewal comes in tandem with the iconic series celebrating 30 years since its original launch.
The new Rugrats is based on the original '90s hit, created by Arlene Klasky, Gabor Csupo, and Paul Germain. The reimagined series will return with new episodes in October, including a half-hour Halloween special where Tommy and his friends try to save Angelica after she turns into a werewolf at a scary party and their parents seemingly disappear one by one.
The series stars EG Daily as Tommy, Nancy Cartwright as Chuckie, Cheryl Chase as Angelica, Cree Summer as Susie, and Kath Soucie as Phil and Lil, together with a whole new voice cast featuring the likes of Ashley Rae Spillers, Tommy Dewey, Tony Hale, Natalie Morales, Anna Chlumsky, Timothy Simons, Nicole Byer, Omar Miller, and Michael McKean.
The series is produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio and is overseen by Mollie Freilich, Senior Manager of Current Series Animation at Nickelodeon. Kate Boutilier and Casey Leonard are executive producers alongside co-executive producers Dave Pressler and Rachel Lipman, with Kellie Smith as line producer on season two. Charlie Adler is the voice director.
IGN's review of the Rugrats reboot series premiere concluded that the show makes for suitable family-friendly viewing, with its "fantastical adventures, low-brow silliness, and a sprinkling of observational wit," however, "the CG look feels like a fresh coat of paint intended to make a house blend in on the block instead of standing out."
