In July 2023, Variety reported that a film sequel and a two-season 2D animated television series follow-up for for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023) had been greenlit. [4] The series, titled Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, was reported to act as a bridge between Mutant Mayhem and the film sequel, [4] which has been scheduled to release in theaters in 2026. [5] [6]
Chris Yost and Alan Wan who together have experience working on the 2003 Turtles series, the 2012 Turtles series, and the 2018 series Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, [7] were announced as executive producers and showrunners. [4] Lukas Williams was set to oversee production for Point Grey Pictures which co-produces with Nickelodeon Animation Studio. [4] Production for Nickelodeon was overseen by Claudia Spinelli, Senior Vice President of Nickelodeon Animation, and Nikki Price, Director of Development and Executive in Charge of Production. [8]
The series sees the Turtles being split up and having to work alone. This idea was conceived by Yost and Wan during discussions with Mutant Mayhem producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg early during the series' development, as a way to distinguish from previous Turtles series by exploring each Turtle's personality and growth outside of their relationships with each other. [9] Inspirations for the series include the film Superbad (2007), which the team studied in order to understand the series' juvenile tone. [10]
Along with the series' announcement in July 2023, Micah Abbey, Shamon Brown Jr., Nicolas Cantu, and Brady Noon were confirmed to reprise their voice roles as the four Turtles. [4] Ayo Edebiri was later confirmed to reprise her role as April O'Neil in February 2024. [8] In June 2024, Alanna Ubach and Pete Davidson were confirmed to guest star in the series as Bishop and Rod respectively. [2] In July 2024, Rose Byrne, Natasia Demetriou, and Post Malone were confirmed to reprise their roles from Mutant Mayhem, with Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Timothy Olyphant, Jillian Bell, and Danny Trejo joining the cast as new characters. [11] [3] Ubach was unaware of what her character, Bishop, looked like until the first day of voice recording. Upon seeing a picture, she instantly knew what direction she wanted to take her performance in. [12]
The series uses comic book drawings by Leonardo as a framing device, which the showrunners added as an homage to the original Turtles comics. [10] The series' opening theme was composed by Matt Mahaffey, who previously composed the score for Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and its 2022 film continuation. [9]
The season is set to release on Paramount+ on August 9, 2024, and consists of 12 episodes. [2]
Two teaser trailers were released on February 8, 2024 and April 25, 2024, respectively. [13] [14] An official trailer was released during the IGN Live event on June 7, 2024. [15] For the first teaser, Becca Caddy of TechRadar praised the humor and visuals, and felt that the series would "deliver the beloved mix of colorful action, sharp wit, and humor" associated with the franchise. [16] Wes Davis of The Verge said that the series looks to be "just as gorgeous as the 3D-animated movie it sprang from", and Joey Paur of GeekTyrant remarked that "this looks like it’s going to be a totally radical show!" [17] [18] A first look at action figures by Playmates Toys was unveiled in March 2024. [19] [20]
